FunTranscript
00:00When we reached the last night at Wembley Stadium in London,
00:10all of us felt such satisfaction.
00:14We've had so many special moments where just like,
00:18it just reminds me what a concert can do if you give it your all.
00:24Then again, no matter how good a tour is,
00:30it's a huge, massive undertaking.
00:33It's hard work.
00:35That's the challenge, that's the adventure,
00:38and that's what every person on this tour is doing.
00:46Every single night, no matter what's going on,
00:50we're gonna do everything in our power to blow your mind.
00:54.
01:04My goal for the Eros tour is that I didn't want the fans
01:20to leave thinking that they missed out on anything.
01:22One thing I've always tried to do is like,
01:25give something to the fans that they didn't expect.
01:28When we had done the first half of the tour,
01:31what the fans didn't know at the time was that I was writing a brand new album,
01:35the Torture Poets Department.
01:37And in the middle of me releasing the album,
01:40we had to be all hands on deck creating a brand new era to put into the show,
01:44to represent that album.
01:46This is so fun.
01:55Doing all of this completely secretly, all in like a tiny little break that we had between Asia and Europe.
02:01Are there sounds from Fortnite that are not the synth sound?
02:06Or do we go into like strings?
02:08Like this feels like a highly elevated chapter.
02:12We build this top secret rehearsal facility for us to lock in the set list.
02:19Go, who's afraid?
02:21Little bit of down bad.
02:24Probably a verse and a chorus or a pre-chorus and a chorus.
02:27That might be it.
02:28Like I would kind of do surgical tweakings to each song.
02:32Be like, okay, these songs, but cut out the bridge and the second verse of this.
02:39And then, so tell me everything is not about me.
02:43To make it so that we could fit this many songs in the show.
02:47Bam!
02:48And say they didn't do it to hurt me.
02:51Everyone in.
02:53And I want, and double as big for, I want a snarly.
02:57I'm going to have a mental breakdown during this song.
02:59Like it's going to be so fun.
03:02And then we put together all new choreography.
03:07Learning choreography, all just hearing it in our heads because they can't play the music on speakers because it's not out yet.
03:14The first line is, did you really beam me up?
03:17What I want is for a light to spotlight right on me like it's the alien ship.
03:23Right into this like crazy, like alien light.
03:28And then, down that way.
03:32Yeah.
03:34Yeah.
03:35There's an entirely new order of the chapters.
03:38So I'm relearning the entire show essentially.
03:40It feels crazy to like take all the pieces apart and then put them together in different order.
03:46Yeah.
03:47And I think I'd rather feel this way where I'm a little bit confused, a little bit like what, what, uh, than being like on autopilot.
03:55Yeah.
03:56Because I could do the show we were doing in Asia I could do with myself.
03:59Yeah.
04:00At first we're all like, we all fear change.
04:01But then we're like, yeah, we got this.
04:03Yeah, but we're here because we accepted challenges our whole lives.
04:06Oh my God, that was a risk.
04:08That could have gone so bad.
04:09There was the danger that we, it could have felt like we had sort of shoehorned something in.
04:14Or that, you know, people didn't like the new show as much as they liked the old show.
04:19I swear to God, if I heard people online being like, I missed the old show.
04:22I was going to be like, oh my God, you have no idea how hard this was to do.
04:25We're going to get to watch 45,000 people experience the fact that they're seeing something that's never been seen before.
04:34Going out to play our first show of the new set in Paris.
04:39The crowd has no idea that we've added a completely new section and rearranged things.
04:44And, and I am so, so excited.
04:48I love having a good secret.
04:50When we brought out this new show in Paris, it was so rewarding because all of that secrecy and all of that working during our only time off paid off so much.
05:03Because the fans were so excited.
05:05It was such a dynamic new addition to the show.
05:11Now, going into the last show in London, I have the opportunity to add to their experience, even on top of that.
05:20Taylor wants to make the last London show as powerful as possible.
05:25She's like, I want to blow this thing out, we're going to do this right.
05:28She wants to do Florida with Florence Welch, Florence and the Machine.
05:33Performing Florida with Florence is something I've wanted to do ever since the two of us wrote that song.
05:39And then it just so happened that she was going to be available in London.
05:42You're not nervous about the show, you know, you know how it runs and suddenly something like Florence coming to do Florida.
05:49The choreography meets the music meets automation, which is the stage movement and is starting from scratch again.
05:58I know that when I say to them, I want to perform Florida with Florence and I really want to do it with full production.
06:04I know that it's some kind of creative brainstorming sessions, but I know it's doable because all the dancers, the choreographers, the production designers, the crew, the entire band, every person we have is the best one doing it in the entire industry.
06:20This is kind of funny.
06:30We have to rehearse the song.
06:32We kind of do what we usually do in the comfort of a studio from the road, but also trying to keep things from leaking before the surprise.
06:43It's a stadium with no roof, so there's like fans outside and say, I have to turn the PA off and we have to do it quietly, you know?
06:55It is so much extra work to keep things a surprise.
07:00Let me tell you, I need a nap just thinking about it, but it's so worth it when we can actually pull it off.
07:09You're programming sounds.
07:10At Soundcheck, the dancers are finding a place to work on choreography for it where people can't find out what's happening.
07:17You know, before you know it, I'm in a random ballroom in the middle of a hotel with Amanda at like 9.30 at night.
07:24And my friends all smell like weed a little bit.
07:27Maybe then, maybe you'd come off there.
07:30Flores open up on the, into the diagonals, maybe?
07:33Yeah.
07:34With choreography, I asked one of my friends, Emma Stone, who's done a lot of work in dance in her films, you know, who have you worked with that you would recommend for this?
07:44And she's like, there's only one person that needs to be on your list, and it's Mandy Moore.
07:47I never would have thought that I would be in the same sentence as Taylor Swift ever in my life.
07:53You know, I've always been a big fan, but I, funny enough, I come from really more film and television.
07:58I don't really do artist performance.
08:01Now I understand why I was brought in, because she really wanted to do something different.
08:04And she likes the storytelling.
08:07I mean, her songs are mini movies.
08:09So, when I listen to them, it's just lyrics and melody swirling with ideas in my head.
08:15And then you just start making something.
08:18Yeah.
08:19Is there something about that, like, bop, that mean?
08:21Yeah.
08:22And then all of a sudden, it comes out.
08:24Smell like weed a little baby.
08:27Yeah.
08:28Do you want to do?
08:30Seven.
08:31Beautiful.
08:32Gorgeous, Amanda.
08:33Love.
08:34One, two, three.
08:35Amanda Balin, the first time that I saw her do her thing, she was choreographing the tour.
08:41She was not a dancer.
08:43Her job was to show me what I'd be doing with the dancers.
08:46In the middle of the night, in my dreams.
08:50I would just get so much inspiration from what she was doing as a performer.
08:55I just kept saying, like, you're such a pop star, Amanda.
08:57In the middle of the night, in my dreams.
09:01This was my dream.
09:02Truly.
09:03It was my dream to do live shows and tour like this.
09:06More so than Broadway or anything.
09:08I just, I always was drawn to this.
09:11I actually haven't looked at these.
09:13I just keep throwing them in.
09:16I started out by doing small things.
09:19And then I booked a job as a swing for a Janet Jackson tour, which was, oh, I'd always wanted to dance for her.
09:25I went on to tour with Celine Dion.
09:27Uh, what else have I done?
09:29Oh, oh, I danced for Lady Gaga for five plus years.
09:33I toured for five years straight.
09:35I worked on Glee, which was a long standing dancing TV show for a while.
09:39That was a wonderful job.
09:40I went on to do some films like La La Land.
09:43I've performed at probably every major award show with different artists.
09:47And I've been a part of many tours.
09:50Aw.
09:54As much as you want it to last forever, dance isn't a forever career.
09:59The demand on your body is not sustainable.
10:02We can get this strong when you do all those, you know, wild movements.
10:06Then this can stabilize your spine, helping.
10:09I have two labral tears in my hip flexors.
10:11Like things were just breaking down.
10:13I kind of just decided it was a very tough decision, but to gracefully start to peel myself away from being a professional dancer and to do things behind the scenes.
10:25I remember asking Mandy, I wonder if Amanda would ever dance with us?
10:33And Mandy was like, ah, she's, she's retired.
10:35She hung up her dancing shoes a while ago.
10:38At some point, Mandy came to me and said, hey, the team wants to know if you want to do the show.
10:44My first response to being asked to do the tour was a chuckle and a, oh, hell no.
10:48I don't even know if I could do it.
10:50Being involved in the behind the scenes and then doing it on stage, those are two different things.
10:55I had doubts in my ability.
10:58I was worried that I wasn't going to be as good as I was when I was dancing.
11:02But at the end of the day, even though there was a lot of fear, it was just too wonderful of an opportunity.
11:09A second chance, I get chills.
11:12It was a second chance that most people don't get to have.
11:15We're counting this song in fast state.
11:22So it'll be a one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
11:26Oh, one, two, three, four, five, seven, eight.
11:29She says, um, and a five, two, three, four.
11:32On five, it's the word weed.
11:34And you guys are going to kind of do like a little bit of a deflate.
11:37And my friends all smell like weed.
11:39Yeah.
11:40Yeah.
11:41Weed or little babies.
11:44One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
11:47Okay.
11:48Just so you have an idea.
11:49And then guys went loose.
11:50Yes.
11:51Hey, Dewey.
11:52Amanda and I were in like an empty ballroom last night.
11:55Just like, okay.
11:56Like idiots.
11:57You're just seeing Amanda and I.
11:58As you can imagine, it's the normal.
12:00Okay.
12:01It's called Floor.
12:02Floor.
12:03Floor.
12:04Floor.
12:05Floor.
12:06Floor.
12:07Floor.
12:08Floor.
12:09Floor.
12:10Floor.
12:11Floor.
12:12Floor.
12:13Oh no.
12:14Okay.
12:15Floor.
12:16Floor da want gang, gang, gang, gang.
12:17It's a hell of a drug.
12:20It is always weird, I think, with choreography.
12:22Because it is true.
12:23It's like literally a week ago this thing didn't exist.
12:25And my friends all smell like weed.
12:27Okay, so what the...
12:28Oh, did you already do this?
12:29Just roughly, but...
12:30Oh, frickin' great.
12:31I was like, why do they all just do this?
12:35And then, like, the dancers become the accessories
12:38to Taylor and to the stage and to the whole experience.
12:41So it's a really important thing,
12:43and I take it very seriously.
12:46You know, I always get nervous
12:47when I'm showing Taylor something for the first time
12:50because I, ultimately, I just want to do well.
12:52You know, like, I want to make her happy
12:54because I just, you know, so much respect for her.
12:57I love her.
12:58I mean, I was really terrified
12:59the first time I had to show her something.
13:03We can figure this out together.
13:07But luckily, you know, since the very early stages of this,
13:10her and I have a really nice communication.
13:12We'll teach something in here together.
13:15We'll bring this out.
13:16Actually, I'm gonna need to travel
13:17back to the stage during this part.
13:19Okay, great.
13:20Taylor can give me thoughts or colors or ideas,
13:22and I think I'm able to understand what she wants visually.
13:25I want to kind of channel, like,
13:27rites of spring Florence machine, like, like, like, like,
13:31it's taking our body.
13:32Yeah, like, like, fully, like, like, reaching.
13:35Right, love it.
13:36You know, like, love it.
13:37Like, kind of like, um,
13:38like, girl in an insane asylum slash wood nymph.
13:42Love it.
13:43Yeah.
13:43I love it.
13:44So, I mean, yes, wasn't nervous.
13:46I'm always nervous.
13:46I'm always sweating.
13:47I'm like, oh, God, did I make the right thing?
13:49Is this bad choices?
13:51Hello.
13:52How are you?
13:53Really good.
13:53How are you doing?
13:54I'm good.
13:54All right, I'm excited.
13:55Do you want to watch one?
13:56I would love to.
13:57And kind of see, I'll do a Florence's track.
13:58Should I get my ears?
13:59We're just doing the speaker right here.
14:00Yeah.
14:01Love it.
14:01Yeah.
14:02Okay, guys, ready to move?
14:03Yes.
14:04Okay, go for 43.06.
14:06One, two, three.
14:08Standby, 4306.
14:10Going forward.
14:12We could beat the charges too.
14:13They said I was a cheese.
14:16I guess it must be true.
14:21And my friends all smell like weed or little babies.
14:27Ooh, I love that.
14:28Go.
14:29And the city reeks the driver.
14:30Keeping you out, it's down.
14:31My self-raised.
14:34Go.
14:36Your home's really only a town you're just a guest in
14:40So you work your life away just to pay for a time shed down on Destin
14:46Florida
14:47Florida
14:51Florida
14:52Florida
14:54Oh my god
14:55Then whatever's here Taylor
15:01And then feel like you guys can play here
15:12And then yeah
15:15We made this like wave
15:17Wow
15:18Could it be kind of cool huh
15:19I hate that it's happening without us there
15:22You could do it earlier if you want
15:25Just didn't know if it was
15:27Whoa
15:27So epic back there
15:29And no one's going to look at it
15:31No
15:31Because they're going to be looking at you
15:32And I almost wish that me and Florence could be on that
15:37I mean that would be fucking amazing
15:39And she's up for it yeah
15:40I'm worried if me and Florence are here
15:43There's people aren't going to look at it
15:45And that bothers me
15:46And also I think Florence is like going to be really
15:49She's totally down for like
15:51Being in the mix and doing cool stuff
15:53And I did my best
15:55Like in there
15:55Yes
15:56Yes
15:58Oh it would be awesome if it goes down
16:05Good too
16:06Then it rises
16:08Then it all rises at the same fucking time
16:14And it's awesome
16:15And everyone sees it
16:17Good okay
16:18Let's run one more time
16:20And now that I've had this chat with Taylor
16:22Then I can fix all
16:23We have all the elements
16:24I just now need to rework them okay
16:25Good job guys
16:27Thank you so much
16:27A lot of the time when you are casting for a tour
16:31You know choreographers will sometimes have it in their head
16:36That they want a specific body type
16:40They want a specific look
16:41They want only women
16:42They want only men
16:43People can get very opinionated about
16:46Things looking very uniform
16:49That's not what I wanted to do with the Ares tour
16:51I feel like when you look up on stage as a fan
16:55If you see people that represent you
16:57Your friends
16:58The people you see in the world
17:00That's I think much more emotional
17:03And more connective
17:04And powerful
17:05I really wanted everyone to look up on that stage
17:08And think
17:08I see myself in that person
17:11Spaces like the space that Taylor is curating
17:17On a night to night basis
17:19I wish we had more of that right
17:22Even outside of entertaining
17:25It's so important to be seen
17:28To be heard
17:29To be understood
17:30My background as a dancer
17:36I had a lot of teachers and professors
17:39Who were not so kind
17:40Mostly around my size
17:43And if I wanted to be a professional dancer
17:45I would need to lose weight
17:46I remember doing an audition
17:49And the director of the company said to me
17:51Okay so what are we going to do about your body
17:53In life
17:55Some people are going to try to tear you down
17:58They want you to do something else
18:00Other than the thing that you are in love with
18:02And then there are kind people who ground you
18:06And in my experience
18:08That's my mom and my brother
18:09It's important to know
18:11I came from a family
18:13With an excess of love
18:16Right
18:17My mother sacrificed a lot
18:19For my brother and I
18:20To just have experiences
18:23And so my brother
18:26He fell in love with sports
18:28I fell in love with dance
18:29And we were sort of navigating our training
18:32At the same time
18:34Middle school, high school, college
18:36And it has been the joy of my life
18:42To watch him thrive in something that he loves so, so much
18:45Now he plays in the NFL
18:48And I watched my brother go to the Super Bowl three times
18:52I graduated college
18:54And thought I was going to be teaching dance
18:56For the rest of my life
18:57And I remember getting an email that said
19:01There's a closed audition
19:03We cannot disclose who the artist is
19:05But it's being choreographed by Mandy Moore
19:06I didn't have like a dollar to my name at the time
19:10And I called my brother
19:13I was like, listen
19:14I don't know what this is
19:17But something is telling me
19:21That I have to be in this room
19:24He was like, okay
19:26We will make it happen
19:27And he bought me a flight
19:29When he came into the audition
19:37I was just like, he's magnetic
19:39I mean, he's a great dancer
19:41His smile is like the thousand watt smile
19:44You know, he's really well trained
19:46He just embodies what I felt
19:48Was like the spirit of what these people need to be
19:51Cam is someone who absolutely lights up
19:55Not only the stage
19:56But just our entire vibe as a tour
19:59He's just so himself
20:01I don't want dancers that blend in
20:04I don't care about them pulling focus
20:06I want them to pull focus
20:07I want you to feel like
20:09You saw an entire crew
20:11Of individual stars on the stage
20:14Now, knowing that spaces like this
20:20Do exist for me
20:22That allow me to be the fullest
20:25Version of me
20:28With all I have to offer
20:29In this body
20:30As it exists right now
20:32This feels like my Super Bowl
20:37Bonus day is so important
21:07Because setting a precedent
21:09With the Ares tour
21:10Is really important to me
21:11Because people who work on the road
21:13If the tour grosses more
21:14They get more of a bonus
21:16And these people just work so hard
21:18And they are the best at what they do
21:20So every single person on the crew
21:24I've handwritten them a note
21:25It took me a couple weeks
21:26But it's fun to write the notes
21:29It's like fun to
21:30To think about everybody's lives
21:33That they're going to go back to
21:34And the time off they're going to have
21:35And the kids they haven't seen
21:37Because they've been away for months
21:38And it just
21:39Making that worthwhile for them
21:41Is like really
21:43It just
21:44It feels like Christmas morning
21:45When you finally get to
21:46Say thank you
21:47Bonus day
21:51So each one is in its own bag
21:55And I was thinking
21:56We can lay them out
21:57Oh let me see
21:59The wax seal
22:01You wax sealed
22:03Every one of these things
22:04Yeah
22:04And the fire department
22:07Almost had to come
22:08I want to show you this Taylor
22:10Six of the audio guys
22:12Got this tattoo
22:13It says cruel summer
22:14152 shows
22:16Oh my god
22:18That's crazy
22:20I don't know if you remember
22:21But on reputation
22:22Why is it a grim reaper
22:23I have no idea
22:24They have to keep it like scary
22:26They can't like have like
22:28A tattoo of like a butterfly
22:30And a kitty cat
22:30I think what that means
22:32Is 152 dates
22:33Almost killed them
22:35But they made it
22:36Oh my god
22:37That is exactly what it is
22:38That's what it means
22:39The reality of it
22:40Jesus
22:40Yeah
22:40I'll go behind
22:41Get rid of the bags
22:43A bit forensic
22:44Everybody has the same message
23:02On their card
23:03So I was hoping
23:03You could open it
23:04But before you look at yours
23:06I just wanted to say guys
23:07This leg of this tour
23:09Has been harder
23:11Than anything
23:12I've ever done
23:13In a live setting
23:14And you guys have
23:15Taken this on
23:16With such excitement
23:17And such curiosity
23:18And such
23:19The endurance you've shown
23:21But the spirit you've shown
23:23How much you've given
23:24To these crowds
23:25That gives to me
23:26Every single night
23:27The tour has done really well
23:29Thanks to all of our hard work
23:31So if you will kindly read
23:32This message
23:35Taylor Swift
23:37Okay
23:40Oh
23:41Daris Cam
23:44We've traveled the world
23:45Like we set out to do
23:47We've dazzled the crowds
23:49But we've missed family too
23:50My full gratitude
23:51Doesn't come from a bank
23:53But here's
23:54All this just to say things
24:01Love Taylor
24:02Father was the one that presented
24:18The checks to our drivers
24:20And he presented handwritten letters
24:23From Taylor
24:23It's incredible
24:24I know tour truck drivers
24:26And I've asked
24:27Do artists usually give out
24:28These big bonuses
24:29Unheard of
24:30He's emotional
24:36Oh my god
24:37Do you need a hug?
24:38Are you okay?
24:38I'm not falling
24:39I'm going to pass out
24:40I love you guys so much
24:54Everybody's got their things
25:10They're good at
25:11It's taken me a really long time
25:14To be even fine at choreography
25:16Mandy knows how to approach
25:20Teaching me choreography
25:22From a lyrical perspective
25:23What were you doing?
25:25These little step touch things
25:26Yeah, they're just steps
25:27Yeah, so you're just starting
25:28With your
25:29Did you think?
25:31No
25:31Oh yeah
25:31Home's really
25:32Home
25:33Town you'll get arrested
25:35I don't do eight counts
25:36I learn based on
25:38What syllable of the lyric
25:40I'm attaching a movement to
25:41And I can't really learn
25:43Any other way I've tried
25:44Texas
25:45Florida
25:45Yeah, I didn't know
25:46It should be
25:46Yeah, I didn't know
25:47If it should be like
25:48Sing it
25:50Then throw to them
25:51Or sing Florida
25:52There you go
25:53That's what I thought
25:54Yeah, yeah
25:54Oh
25:54Sorry
25:55To get out there
25:57And learn the choreography
25:58In 30 minutes
25:59And remember to hit this spot
26:01Hit this mark
26:02This dancer's going to come over
26:04And stand next to me
26:06For this moment
26:06In front of 90,000 people
26:08Like my brain would explode
26:11It's an absolute challenge
26:16Not to mention
26:17The whole time she's doing this
26:19She's singing
26:19And doing all these things
26:21At the same time
26:22So it's a lot like juggling
26:24For three and a half hours
26:25Learning the choreography
26:27It's not just doing a step
26:29For the sake of doing a step
26:30It's all very visual
26:32And it makes sense to me
26:34Narratively
26:36It also is interesting
26:38To be in a position
26:39Where like
26:39You know
26:40This is a team of experts
26:41And there's something about that
26:43That keeps me
26:44On my game
26:45And focused
26:46And locked in
26:47It's one of the elements
26:48Of like
26:48Where that kind of pressure
26:50Is a privilege
26:51Because
26:51They're not messing up
26:54So it better not be me
26:56Okay so
26:59I feel good
27:00Is it okay if I
27:02Yeah because we're gonna
27:02Put Porns in tomorrow
27:03So we'll have you
27:04With her there
27:04Okay perfect
27:05Perfect
27:05We're happy
27:06I love it
27:07I love it
27:07I love it
27:08I think it's gonna be
27:09So special
27:10Beautiful job guys
27:11Beautiful job
27:12Thanks for the song
27:13Yeah
27:14You know
27:14Yeah
27:15It's my only job
27:16I'm excited
27:22About seeing the show again
27:23Yeah
27:24The driver asked me
27:25Oh is this your first time
27:26To the show
27:27I was like
27:28Uh no
27:29No
27:29Yeah
27:30I don't
27:31You know my knee
27:32Is doing better
27:33And I don't really
27:35Want to be
27:35In the wheelchair
27:36I need it a little bit
27:38But
27:39To get you there
27:39Yeah
27:40But I wanna dance
27:41Tell them
27:42I'm gonna tell them
27:43Because I feel like
27:44A hypocrite
27:44If I'm sitting in the
27:45Wheelchair section
27:46And I start popping off
27:47You know
27:47I think they'll come
27:48And take the wheelchair
27:49You're gonna start what
27:50Popping off
27:51And is that the move
27:52Something like that
27:54It was
27:55Sometimes it's a shimmy
27:56Uh huh
27:57Sometimes it's a roll
27:58And when does that
27:59When do
27:59It is
28:00I have so many
28:01And a lot of times
28:02It's you guys
28:03It's choreography too
28:04Like
28:04It's this way
28:07So it's like that
28:09That I do that
28:10So shake it off
28:10Yeah
28:11Shake it off
28:12Shake it
28:13Uh huh
28:13I do that move too
28:15Oh
28:16Are you ready for it
28:18Doom, doom, doom, doom
28:20That
28:21That's my song
28:23I love that one
28:25This experience has been
28:26Really amazing
28:27For me
28:29That's okay
28:31I've watched you make so many sacrifices
28:45So many for us to be able to do what we're doing
28:55And to follow those dreams with every part of us
29:03Yeah
29:03And
29:03I am grateful that you're here to see it
29:11Yeah
29:12Because Colin and I
29:15Being able to do what we love to do in such grand spaces
29:20It's a product of how you love us
29:25And do
29:27So I'm grateful that you're able to see the fruits of your labor in this way
29:39And I will never not have you in these spaces with me and celebrating with me
29:47Because just as hard as I've worked
29:51I'm very clear and very conscious of how hard you've worked for us to be able to do so
29:58Which is why I try my hardest to take so much care of you
30:02I know, I know, I know
30:04I love you so
30:05I love you
30:05This is going to be a good show
30:09I know

30:11I'm going to dance
30:12I know
30:12Oh, yay
30:18You're here
30:22You made it
30:23Hi
30:26I'm Mandy
30:27This is Lauren
30:28Oh my gosh
30:29What an honor
30:30Hi
30:30Hi

30:32And it was so amazing
30:35And this is Flo
30:35This is so nice to meet you
30:38This is going to be amazing
30:39So big
30:40This is crazy, right?
30:41This is so big
30:42No, it is
30:42It is
30:43And it's also
30:44It's like a lot of ground to cover here
30:46So we're going to show you
30:47And then like
30:48The choreography is like
30:49We do something
30:50And it affects them
30:52Like where we're just like
30:53Florida
30:53And they're like
30:54I have performed on big stages
30:57But this is not
30:58Like
30:59I thought I'd just show up
31:01And I run around
31:02Like because that's what I do at my own shows
31:04I just show up
31:04And I run
31:05Like I just run around
31:06You're going to come up on that back lift
31:08But you'll see it
31:09And I have never done a lift
31:11You haven't?
31:12Oh, they're so fun
31:13You're going to have so much fun
31:15And we'll have to
31:16When I got there
31:17And I was like
31:17Okay, now this is your choreo
31:18I was like
31:18Oh, no, no, no
31:19Wait, wait
31:19You want me confused
31:20I don't do this
31:21I'm going to fuck this up
31:24Jenny
31:25One
31:26Two
31:27Three
31:28You split
31:29Good
31:41You're good
31:42I'm feeling just fine
31:43All my girls got their links
31:46And their crimes
31:47And my chance
31:48For my husband
31:48This
31:49No
31:50No one asks any questions
31:52Great
31:53Okay
31:54Great
31:54So now
31:55This is Karen
31:56And Nat
31:58And Tamia's behind you
31:59And Raph here
32:00So you guys are nice and safe
32:01This is going to start rising up on
32:03So I did my best
32:04Okay
32:04Oh, great
32:05And she's going to lay down
32:06Or she's going to kind of come in too
32:07If you're okay with this
32:08And she's just going to lay her head here
32:10And it would be great
32:11If you wanted to connect to her head
32:13On like
32:13Something
32:13I did my best to lay to rest
32:15All of the bodies
32:16That have ever been on my body
32:17So it kind of makes sense
32:18So I did my best
32:19To lay to rest
32:20All of the bodies
32:22That have been on my body
32:24And in my mind
32:25They sink into the swamp
32:27Raise your arm
32:27Up
32:28Beautiful
32:29No, sorry
32:29Is that a bad thing to say in the song
32:32Sorry about that
32:33Yeah
32:33So sink into the swamp
32:34You're still down
32:35Yes
32:35Yes
32:36Sink into the swamp
32:39Song up
32:40I've got it
32:42Okay, good
32:43Now
32:43Good
32:44So you pack your life away
32:46Just a weight up
32:47Shitstorm back in Texas
32:49Floor it up
32:50Beautiful
32:52Back center
32:54Do it again
32:55Floor it up
32:57Can I use you
33:00What a treat
33:00We're similar in that
33:03The persona is huge
33:04But the person is soft
33:05And so I think that's why we get along
33:08Externally the thing is really big
33:11But like when we're together
33:13We're just like silly and goofy
33:15Seeing the show
33:18The most beautiful thing
33:20Was the crowd
33:21I like
33:22It was just like
33:23The love and the vibe
33:25Yeah
33:25I was just like
33:26There's all the pockets of
33:28Like girls in their dresses
33:30Like dancing
33:31I was like
33:31This is so much joy
33:33And like
33:33Amazing
33:34And like
33:35Like femininity
33:36That's not
33:37There's no shame around it
33:38No
33:38It was so beautiful
33:40Yeah
33:40Natalie and Odie
33:41Are standing right here
33:42So you just head to the back
33:43Two girls
33:44And then you're gonna have
33:46Your footprints
33:46Right there
33:48And you just gotta go in the middle
33:49And I think turn back front
33:50Yeah
33:51And then we'll take you down
33:52And then Dewey will be there
33:54To get you at the end

34:24What?
34:49I'm waiting for you

34:52In my head
34:53I don't know
34:54What you think
34:55Email to the prom
34:57And pulled out a ring
34:59Said marry me
35:01Juliet
35:01You never have to be alone
35:04I love you
35:05And that's all I really know
35:08I talk to you
35:09That gold fit
35:10Out of white dress
35:12It's a love story
35:14Baby just
35:15And wait
35:17Never ever ever ever
35:20Getting back together
35:23Yeah
35:24Yeah
35:25Yeah
35:27Oh
35:28I used to think
35:35That we were forever ever
35:38And I used to say
35:40Never say never
35:43So he calls me up and he's like
35:46I still love you
35:47And I'm like
35:48I'm just
35:48I mean this is exhausting
35:50You know
35:50Like we are never getting back together
35:52Nah bruv
35:53No
35:55Getting back together
36:00To give her me
36:01Oh
36:02Oh
36:03Oh
36:04We can be the heat
36:09But we can make the charges too
36:12They said I was a chick
36:15I guess it must be true
36:18And my friends all smell like weed or little babies
36:25And the city reeks of driving myself safe
36:31Little did you know your home's really only a town you're just a guest in
36:39So you look your back
36:41No way
36:42Just a break
36:43Or a timeshare down in Destin
36:45Florida
36:47It's one elevator
36:50Florida
36:54And the city
36:56And the city
36:57Oh
37:00London
37:01Wempley Stadium
37:03My friend Florence showed up to surprise you
37:05How does that make you feel?
37:11Working with my name when it came
37:14I got drunk and I gave it to wash me away
37:18We're hated in the bathroom when the bottle won
37:21Well me and my ghost we had a hell of a time
37:24Yes I'm haunted but I'm feeling just fine
37:28All my ghosts got their lace and their cries
37:31But she in the halls have been disappeared
37:34When no one asks any questions here
37:37So I did my best to lay to rest
37:40All of the bodies that have ever been on my body and my mind
37:45They sink into the small
37:48It's not a bad thing to say in this song
37:53Better did you know your home's really only a town you'll get arrested
37:59So you'll pack your life away just to wait after shitstorm back in Texas
38:05Florida
38:07It's one hell of a drug
38:11Florida
38:15Can I use you
38:18The feeling of coming up for the first time in that lift
38:22It was kind of landing on Mars
38:24Because I'd never seen the stage lit up before
38:26The sound of the crowd
38:28That was really extraordinary
38:30You know it's like
38:32You see this cultural moment from the outside
38:34And I suddenly was like inside of it
38:36It was wild but it was
38:38It was really fun and completely terrifying
38:41Also
38:42Taylor's my friend
38:43And I know her as this like very cosy person
38:46And I came out of that lift
38:48I was like oh my god
38:49It's fucking Taylor Swift
38:51For what we are
39:05Wembley Stadium
39:06Make the most amount of noise possible
39:08For national treasure
39:09The extraordinary
39:11Flores in the Machine
39:21You know, I used to kind of be leaving the shows and seeing people walk home and think,
39:44I really hope they got what they've been waiting for.
39:48I hope they got what they've been saving up their money for.
39:57There's a feeling I have of such pride and satisfaction because when I leave the Ares tour,
40:04I never wonder that.
40:10There's just like this magic in the air.
40:13All these particles of shimmer and glitter and confetti and girlhood and friendship bracelet beads and,
40:21you know, magic in the Ares.
40:33There's just like this magic in the air.
40:41I'm not sure if you're going to die.
40:43I'm not sure if you're going to die.
40:45I'm not sure if you're going to die.
40:47I'm not sure if you're going to die.
40:49I'm not sure if you're going to die.
40:59I'm not sure if you're going to die.
41:01I'm not sure if you're going to die.
41:03I'm not sure if you're going to die.
41:14I'm not sure if you're going to die.
