I took the miracle move -on drug. The
effects were temporary.

And I love you. It's ruining my life.

I touched you for only a fortnight.

But I touched you.

I definitely think writing music is a
form of therapy.

I wanna snarl and show you just how
disturbed this has

made me. Sorry.

Every record represents something
different.

You look like Clare O 'Bow in this

life.

Remarkable. Tortured Poets album is like
this purge.

of just like everything, everything bad
that I felt for two years.

It was a really rough time in my life,
so the songs reflect that.

That's the end.

Yeah.

That felt like I'm going to die.

Feeling like I'm not a person. I'm just
this like big conglomerate that no one

sees as a real human being. And like,
especially not men that I date.

And in the whole process, just being
like, nothing, nothing works.

Nothing. There's no one for me in the
world.

These dressing rooms are freaking
massive.

Those are football players' locker
rooms.

They're for a 53 -man roster.

That's actually the first time she ever
heard of Travis Kelsey, but she didn't

know what we was.

My cousins were, like, taking pictures
with one of the lockers.

We had no idea.

No idea.

Do you want to tell the story?

If you want to tell the story, then you
should tell the story. I kind of do.

She wants to tell the story. I do,
because I think it's a pretty cool

Mom, tell the story, please.

Okay. Okay, if you really want me to.

Speaking of Taylor Swift, I know you
went to the Taylor Swift crowd shirt.

was it? Yeah, well, I was disappointed
that she doesn't talk before or after

shows because she has to save her voice
for the 44 songs that she sings.

So I was a little butthurt. I didn't get
to hand her one of the bracelets I made

for her. You made her a bracelet? Yeah.

There are friendship bracelets, and I
received a bunch of them being there,

I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with
my number on it. Not right now. Ooh,

number's in 87 or your phone number?

You know which one.

I'm looking at the headlines and
perusing around what's on the Internet,

see that this guy came to your show, and
he brought a friendship bracelet and

wants to meet you.

And so, of course, I call up my resident
expert on Kansas City Chiefs, my cousin

Robin, and I go, tell me about this guy
named Travis Kelsey.

And she goes, oh, my God, he's the
nicest guy.

And you know what? He really loves his
mom.

I went, ding, ding, ding, ding. And I
said, now how in the world am I going to

get her to meet him or whatever?

I've been very non -athlete.

Because I'm not one. And I've always
just been like, well, what would we talk

about? And so you call me up like with
this tone of like, hey, so I know you're

going to not react well to this. But
there's the guy.

He's really cute.

You said something to the effect of
like, you got to start doing something

different.

Listen, it was so earnest. I thought it
was the sweetest thing in the world that

he came to your show. He brought you
something from your world.

To me, that really said a lot.

I thought that was really sweet, and I
liked it. You know, on our first date,

literally had to explain football as if
it were like violent chess, which helped

me kind of understand it, like high
-speed, angry chess.

And then I just sort of became obsessed
with him and therefore became obsessed

with learning about football.

Greatest surprise of my life.

Now I, like, know who's on the injured
reserve.

I know who was in limited practice today
for the 49ers.

I'm like, what does it mean? What's the
extent of the injury?

Like, are we dealing with an Achilles
thing or is it hamstring?

Well, right now we're just four days
away until downtown New Orleans is

in glitter and friendship bracelets, all
for the arrival of Taylor Swift.

More and more 50s are arriving by the
minute. Elected officials and law

enforcement are using this upcoming
weekend kind of as a test run ahead of

hosting the Super Bowl. Soon, the
world's biggest pop star will perform

sold -out shows.

Today, the Taylor mania begins.

Night one of the Aris tour here in New
Orleans.

These are from Travis.

Aww.

Oh, these are so beautiful.

I love that he doesn't even have to sign
them anymore.

Being that we have a handful

of shows left, we decided at the first
show of New Orleans that we should put

some of the swings in.

What a swing is, is a dancer who can do
another track that's not theirs. So

today wasn't full -out rehearsal.

We're making sure that they know where
they're going on stage so they can hop

in.

That's good, guys.

Lovely.

How'd that feel?

Music's fine? Everybody else feel okay
staging -wise?

It's wild how these dancers are so
talented.

The other dancers can fill in for
someone else.

and do their choreography perfectly, hit
their blocking perfectly. I don't

understand how they can do their jobs
and also have the option of doing

else's.

Crazy. Whoever is not in ready for it or
not potentially in ready for it can go

back to the dressing room.

A man wanted to rehearse different
contingency plans.

And I jokingly said, oh my goodness,
this is going to be one of the last

opportunities I might be able to have to
do Ready For It.

And she called me out on it. She was
like, do you want to do it? All the

love Ready For It, especially Wiley. And
the boys begged to do it.

Unfortunately for me, it is all female.

I just remember watching it being
created and...

just living in perpetual envy the whole
tour.

That song is really Wiley's style.

He shines when he does that
choreography.

I love flipping my hair.

I love being different characters on
stage.

I just love performing doing really dope
moves to really dope music

beautiful the feeling of the song and
the lyrics it's just

it's a monumental number so from the
beginning it was my favorite piece

and then why uh this foot goes out right
away boom

to go down to go up that's it now i
still have to ask taylor and

management if that's okay, because
usually we have it be an all -female

He's actually going to try on my costume
and see if it fits. And if it fits, I

would love for Wiley to do it because
he's so passionate about doing it.

Thank you,

everybody.

You know with this tour we're not very
like We're not trying to make any points

about gender, but we just don't really
have any kind of restrictions

We got guys in heels and leotards and
stuff and We

just don't really think too hard about
it right like if you look at look what

you made me do you have?

Women and men dressed up in my former
costume.

It's not like

We just don't really overthink it.

And I think that's kind of one of the
most fun things about, you know, the way

we've approached this tour. We overthink
certain things.

We let some things just kind of be
naturally individualistic in terms of

casting and our dancers' expression.

Wiley's such a badass.

He's been doing this for so many years.
He's a vet. For him to go in tonight

would be awesome.

Oh, she's on. That's it, right?

Yeah.

Wiley fit into my costume with ease, and
if Wiley goes in tonight, it's up to

Taylor. She gets the final say.

Can I go to the game? Yes. Monday night
game.

Um, oh.

So Wiley's dream is to do Ready For It.

Amanda's going to take... What do you
mean?

He wants to dance Ready For It.

Okay. But Amanda sent me this video.

Does he have a wardrobe?

Yeah, he wants to be the swing tonight.

Yes, there she is.

Does he just fit in Amanda's wardrobe?

Yeah, I think so.

Yes,

100%. That's amazing.

Muscle memory is the first step in like
brain atrophy for me.

That's why I love my acoustic set so
much. I love being challenged to come up

with different things to do every night.

Preparing for the acoustic set is
something that I do because I

don't want to just wing it. I want there
to be a sense of quality.

I would never just get up there and be
like, guess I'll try something that has

to be purposeful and it has to be well
executed.

Like it is always a moment I'm somewhat
unprepared for because I'm rehearsing

this a few times in my dressing room and
then it's time to bring it to the

stadium stage.

So there's always a level of sort of
like nervous anticipation of sort of

make sure you remember all these words,
make sure you remember that this song

transitions into this song.

But there's also an element of detail
that goes into it.

There were points in this tour when the
tour was the only thing that was really

keeping me going in my life.

But there were never points in the tour
where I thought, oh, you know what, I

want to quit the tour because the tour
is hard. No, my personal life was hard.

I went through two breakups on the first
half of this tour.

And that's a lot of breakups, actually.

The show was what gave me purpose and
was what I could...

used to get me out of bed.

So the tour has never been the hard
thing in my life.

The tour has been the thing that has
allowed me to find purpose outside of

shit that was going wrong in my life.

Men will let you down. The heiress tour
never will.

You know, it really kind of tells your
story. It's so, so cool. It's so

different. And when you first met.

Who are we talking about now?

Travis, your boyfriend.

I'm talking, this is about, these are
literally two breakup songs.

It's different as a breakup song.

It's about, it's about. I just hear the
pretty parts of it. I mean, I'm glad

that that's, that you read that into it,
because I read into it like.

that this person is going through a
horrible breakup, and they're like, I

move on. And then they do, and they go
to a big city, and they, like, find this

other sense of self.

I guess so.

Anyway, so is this... She can't believe
it. She doesn't have to convince me to

be in love with someone who's good for
me.

This one's easy.

All right. Do you need me? They need me
in there. Okay, that's all I have for

you. Okay. Thank you very much.

My little lucky charm. Bye.

Bye.

What has Travis brought to the tour?

Well, first of all, he brought himself
onto the stage on this tour, which was

one of the funnier moments I can ever
remember.

How do I put this?

Travis is like, he's a real...

He's a real yes guy, like in terms of
life itself.

Do you want to be center, in the middle,
in the front of it, or behind it?

You're taking me. Boom. Whichever you
want me to do. He's just up for

And when I wrote the skit for I Can Do
It With a Broken Heart, where I had this

very dramatic idea where I want to be a
soldier on a battlefield, and I'm

fatally wounded, and I die on the stage
while singing.

And then we have this very sort of like
cabaret, dramatic vaudeville kind of

skit where I have to perk up immediately
to perform.

I was like, oh, that's exactly the kind
of drama I'm trying to put forth here on

this tour.

But I remember thinking about the skit
and always just being like, if there was

ever a point to put Travis in the show,
I think this would be the one. But I

obviously am like never going to suggest
that because that's like.

I don't want to, you don't want to scare
people, you know?

Yeah, like, she has to be head on the
left side. I can't remember how it came

up. I think we were just joking around
about, like, him doing it, like, him

going up there with Cam.

And it became very clear that he, like,
wasn't joking. And I was like, oh, wait,

no, you would do that?

And he was like, yeah, it would be
hilarious.

Come on, wake up.

Wake up.

I was like, if you're serious about
this, I will send your measurements to

wardrobe and they'll get you a tuck.

Like, are you serious?

And he's like, put me in.

Like, I'm in.

The way that he just comes to life when
the lights are the brightest.

People talk about that all the time with
him. They're like, the moment's never

too big for Travis. The lights are never
too bright for Travis. Like, I think

that's as a player. He can, like, slow
down time in the most stressful moments.

And that's exactly what we saw on stage.
He got out there and was the

most charming, delightful performer you
could ever be on the stage with. Like,

his instincts, he's just so magically
entertaining.

really is one of the happiest people I
think I've ever met, which I adore.

He just brought a lot of happiness,
which is, I think, what he does in a lot

his circles. He brings a lot of
happiness to the room.

And that particular night, he brought a
lot of happiness to a lot of fans.

It was hilarious.

I can safely say that that was...

That was the loudest it ever got on the
air tour.

The

one

thing about death that made me

fall in love with it...

Growing up in Hawaii, I wasn't the
typical masculine local boy.

I felt like I didn't fit in anywhere.

I found dance, or dance found me when I
was seven and a half.

They planted a seed of passion in me
that I didn't know would blossom into

something that would serve me.

till now in my life.

It gave me a huge sense of confidence
and a huge sense of power and

belonging and purpose.

In 2007, when I got into the industry,
you had to like fit into

a certain stereotype.

Male dancers, they look like this, they
dance like this. Female dancers look

like this, they dance like this.

I do love dancing masculine. It's
something I love to do. I also love

feminine, and I also love mixing the two
together.

I was always told, Wiley, you're great,
but you flip your hair too much, or

you're too feminine.

That stuck with me through different
jobs, being told different things about

appearance.

This job, no one told me I needed to be
buff.

Taylor never made me cut my hair.

I wear different color eyeshadows in
different nights. It's been almost 150

shows, and Taylor has once said, Wiley,
please stop doing that. Never.

I've never been filtered as a person of
who I present myself on stage with her,

and neither has any of my coworkers, and
that may

seem so small, but as a dancer who has
been told to change, to filter herself,

For almost 20 years, it is one of the
most meaningful things to me.

It is so empowering.

It is so loving.

It is so enriching and so much fun.

Why?

You should practice again.

Because you're doing it right.

You know, Wiley, as a dancer and a
performer, he can really channel that

of, like, sexy femme side of himself.

Wiley wanting to be in Ready For It was
just, like, so refreshing. So I was

like, of course.

I'm fully ready for it.

Crack.

So I'm going to do one of the fake outs
where I, like,

I'm going to sing a chorus of her song
and the crowd's going to be like, what?

What's going on? What's going on?

And then I'm going to stop and I'm going
to do this phone call bit, which I'll

explain to you in real time.

And then

I'm going to be like,

God, that song is stuck in my head. That
song has been stuck in my head for like

six months.

you guys know sabrina carpenter you know
you know her album it's so good my

friend sabrina is coming tonight she was
the opening act on the airs tour for

south america and australia so she was
just on tour with us like six months ago

but since then her career has

skyrocketed. She's had the biggest song
of the year.

The album has been number one
consistently since it came out. She put

arena tour on sale. It sold out in like
two seconds.

It's the dream scenario for how you
would want your career to go as an

I'm going to go out on stage, start my
acoustic set and be like, if you know

words to this one, like sing along.

I just, I have to, I feel like I can't
ever get it out of my head until I sing

it. Okay.

So I'm just trying to, trying to just
support me on this. Okay.

Now we.

The other day, Erika was like, oh,
Sabrina and some friends want to come to

show in New Orleans. And I look up her
tour schedule. She's got like a show

yesterday and a show tomorrow in
different states. And I was like, is

child abuse for me to even ask her to
perform on her one day off? I know she's

like 25, but still.

and they're going to be losing their
minds the whole time. They're going to

like, why did she do that?

Something's happening, and they're going
to be punching each other and be like,

no, there's no way she's not here.

It's just going to be the craziest
moment of the tour.

It's going to be cute.

And you can kind of start singing
whenever you want because this is the

chord progression.

And I'm going to start with the chorus.

Yeah. I love you. Okay.

Now he's talking about me every night,
oh, is that sweet, I guess so.

Say you can't sleep, baby, I know,
that's that me espresso.

Move it up, down, let's ride, oh, switch
it up like Nintendo.

Say you can't sleep, baby, I know,
that's that me espresso.

I can't. Or do we go back? Oh, yeah. Do
the chord progression. I want you on

stage for a million years. Okay. So I'll
wait. I'll wait. And then that, isn't

that, isn't that sweet? I guess so.

Okay.

Sweet, I guess so.

I'm going to be like, can I please do
the line?

Oh, yeah. You can do the line. I want to
do the line so bad. Okay, everybody.

Taylor's going to do the line. I'm going
to do the line.

I'm working late.

Cause I'm a singer.

Boy, that's so cute.

Wrapped around my finger.

My pussy humor.

Makes him laugh so often.

My honey bee.

Come get this call in.

Let's press forward to 300. Take out
coffees later. I see your profile and

you smile on expecting waiters.

Baby, was it over when she laid down on
your couch?

Was it over when he unbuttoned my
blouse?

Come here, I was living in your dream as
you passed out. Baby, was it over when

she laid down on your couch?

And I'll be like, you know what I kind
of want to do next? I kind of want to be

like, since you're here.

Please, please, please, don't prove I'm
right.

Should I do a high one?

Do you want to?

I can't tell if I want to do.

Please, please, please, don't prove I'm
right.

By the way, no one's going to hear
anything. I know, because you're like

People are just going to be, like,
freaking out.

I felt like a real big idiot because the
first time you sent me the first

version, which was so genius, it didn't
process the takeout coffee line. Takeout

coffee espresso. Really fits with
espresso until I literally was in the

the way here, and I was like, you're so
smart.

But, yeah, that was a big blonde moment
for me. It took me a day. But what are

the chances it has the same rhythm and
the same key?

And so I'm going to get past a phone.
Stop.

And have it on speakerphone and put it
up to the mic and it'll, like, ring.

And you'll be under the stage with a
phone and be like, hello.

I'll say hey some way. Yeah. Some way
that I do. And I'll be like, dude, I'm

performing right now. Aren't you playing
a show right now? Yeah.

Aren't you in the middle of a show?

I'm, like, watching your live stream.
This is so weird.

Just be like.

Aren't you playing a show right now or
something in New Orleans?

I'll be like, yeah, about that. I
actually just did like a chorus of

and the crowd sang it so loud that I
just had to tell you about it. Oh,

so cool. Oh, my gosh.

What are you doing?

Why aren't you here with us? What are
you doing right now?

Obviously, I'm on like a roller coaster.

I'm somewhere where everyone is
screaming so loud.

Oh.

I'm somewhere where people are screaming
really loud, too

Here's the thing Sabrina is there any
chance you

could get off?

The roller coaster you're on and like
put on some clothes and just like come

down to the stadium real quick

Ballpark

how long would that take you?

Okay,

see you soon. Love you. Bye.

Sabrina is just like a shooting star.

She's so smart. She knows exactly how.

to entertain people in the way that they
want in the moment that she's in she's

like battling herself for number one on
the charts all summer and when you see

that happen you're just like go fly
higher and then it's even cooler when

like someone like this will circle back
and like bless us with their magic

Don't bring me to tears when I'm toxic
My makeup's on ice

Heartbreak is one thing, my ego's
another But I bet you don't

embarrass me, motherfucker Please,

please, please Now he's thinking about

me every night, oh It's so sweet, I just
know That you can't sleep, baby, I know

That's a me espresso And is it over

now?

That's a me espresso Espresso with two,
three hundred takeout coffees later

That's a me espresso

I have to say that this job is pretty
scary.

I mean that because of how big it is.

So many eyes on you.

Venues we go to have almost 100 ,000
people there every night.

I can't believe this is happening. I'm
gagging. If I think too much about what

this tour is, and how big of an impact
it has, I am riddled with anxiety and

fear.

All

I

want to do is represent

Taylor well.

We are extensions of her right now in
this job.

I just want to continue the message of
what she's trying to say.

And I want to give that integrity to it.

He was a killer the time that I saw him.
Look at how many girls he has left and

left. Haunted, but if he's a boss then I
can be a fan. Come, hold it in for him.

Some, some, some boys are trying too
hard. He's gonna try it all though.

than my ex, but he acts like such a man.
So, I've seen nothing but stuff. I

treat them for a fuck. That stuff ain't
that tough.

I cannot see how this is all got.

Touch me and you'll never be alone. I'm
smiling, breathing down low. No one has

to know.

In the middle of the night.

You should say.

When I was given the opportunity by
Taylor herself,

I was so honored. I was so honored that
she would be down, that she even trusted

me to step in so last minute like that.

But I'm even more honored that I get to
share the stage with someone who sees

me.

And not only sees me, she celebrates me.

She looks at me on the left.

Are you ready for it? And she has like
the biggest smile on her face.

The signing sparkled in her eye.

It's not really that often where a male
dancer can do a female swinging part and

even be allowed to flourish as much as
he wants in that part.

I want to be that example for anyone,
any person, male, female, non -binary.

I want them to feel seen just like how I
felt seen by Taylor.

I can't believe that the cities would be
completely transformed into really

revolving around and catering to the
fans that were coming in for the shows.

It blows my mind.

There's definitely this safety net or
bubble that we're sort of encapsulated

and inside of it is just this joyous
phenomenon that we get to share.

People are having this special
experience where...

They're singing and dancing, listening
to songs that some people grew up with,

some people are just starting to love,
and it really lets them have this moment

in time that they'll never forget.

This tour just cultivates, I think, just
good energy.

It doesn't matter who you are, what age
you are.

I feel like there's just a different
type of floor.

Her kindness and joy she has brought to
the workspace is unheard of, and it rubs

off on all of us.

Gracie texted me. She's like, I knew you
were tall, but, like, check this out.

I'm, like, on the...

side of the hotel like a million feet
tall used to have this joke and that's

part of why i wrote anti -hero was like
i'm like a five foot ten woman followed

around by a 500 foot tall like monster
shadow and it's like monster just like

knocks over buildings and and like
wreaks all this havoc and

the me being that side tall and i'm on a
hotel i'm like yeah that's That's kind

of how it feels sometimes.

We are playing indie three nights, and
that'll be the last time

we do the Earth War show in America.

And it is like five days before the
presidential election.

The one thing I can provide from people
is an escape, like nothing could ever or

should ever bother any of us, and
nothing will for three and a half hours.

I'm glad that I will have given just 100
%

girlhood and hope and belief and sweat
and effort because

that's the job.

Am I good to say to Trav that I can
offer him if he wants to sit with my

Yeah, I think that's a great idea.

As many as they want. Okay, I'll tell
him the whole group or whoever he's

to.

What are the, um, songs for today?

Well, I was thinking I could do the
prophecy into this love,

and I could do Maroon into Cowboy Like
Me.

That sounds amazing.

Relationships on tour has always been
something I've really struggled with

because it always felt like the tour was
taking away from the relationship.

Somehow I was not able to do both and
feel like I was... nurturing both at the

same time, even though I would try and
try and try and try.

Somehow there's been this dynamic shift
with Travis because it's shocking how

many similarities we have towards our
jobs and how we view them and how we

each other.

We both have jobs where we go out in NFL
stadiums and we entertain people for

three and a half hours.

His was considerably more violence than
mine.

But he's not in heels.

But it's our passion. We've been chasing
this since we were little kids.

So I don't think I ever thought I'd meet
a guy who had that same trajectory.

Travis has three guys on him.

Well, yeah, because he's special. And
I've realized that with this person in

life that just was the right fit for me,
you can have the two passions coexist,

and they actually fuel each other.

Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my
God.

Well,

that was fast.

Oh my God.

Come on.

Ultimately, we love cheering each other
on.

It's so funny to be on stage and to see
thousands of Kansas City

Chiefs 87 jerseys.

If you would have shown me, like, this
is what your crowd's going to look like

in a year before I knew he was going to
come into my life, I'd just be like, why

are there so many, like, football
jerseys out there?

It's a discernible difference in the way
the crowd looks. I swear to God, every,

like, 12th person has his jersey on.

The fans absolutely love Travis, and I
think it's because they can tell that he

loves them too, and he just kind of
loves all people.

Travis is just very comfortable with,
conceptually speaking, a big life,

he has one.

It's not one that he has reluctantly.
He's very comfortable with it.

I think ultimately it's the way he
treats me. It's very clear.

And I think that's one of the reasons
why the fans are so in love with him.

Because you should be, you know?

He's very lovable.

First of all, if you ever would have

Unbelievable.
