00:00When we reached the last night at Wembley Stadium in London,

00:05all of us felt such satisfaction.

00:10We've had so many special moments where just, like,

00:13it just reminds me what a concert can do

00:17if you give it your all.

00:22Then again, no matter how good a tour is,

00:25it's a huge, massive undertaking.

00:28It's hard work.

00:30That's the challenge, that's the adventure,

00:33and that's what every person on this tour is doing.

00:41Every single night, no matter what's going on,

00:45we're gonna do everything in our power to blow your mind.

00:58We gotta do everything in our power to blow your mind!

01:11My goal for the ARES tour is that I didn't want the fans to leave

01:15thinking that they missed out on anything.

01:17One thing I've always tried to do is, like,

01:19tried to do is like give something to the fans that they didn't expect when we

01:24had done the first half of the tour what the fans didn't know at the time was

01:29that I was writing a brand new album the torture poets department and in the

01:33middle of me releasing the album we had to be all hands on deck creating a

01:37brand new era to put into the show to represent that album

01:49doing all of this completely secretly all in like a tiny little break that we

01:54had between Asia and Europe are there sounds from fortnight that are not the

01:59synth sound or do we go into like strings like this feels like a highly elevated

02:06chapter we build this top-secret rehearsal facility for us to lock in the set list

02:13go who's afraid a little bit of down bad probably a verse and a chorus or a

02:21pre-chorus and a chorus and that might be it like I would kind of do surgical

02:25tweakings to each song be like okay these songs but cut out the bridge and the

02:29second verse of this

02:34and then so tell me everything is not about me to make it so that we could fit

02:40this many songs in the show and say they didn't do it to hurt me everyone

02:46and and I want and and double as big for I want it's not like I'm gonna have a

02:52mental breakdown during this song like it's gonna be so fun and then we put

02:59together all new choreography learning choreography all just hearing it in our

03:05heads because they can't play the music on speakers because it's not out yet the

03:09first line is did you really beam me up what I want is for a light to spotlight

03:15right on me like it's the alien ship right into this like crazy like alien

03:22light and then yeah there's an entirely new order of the chapters so I'm

03:33relearning the entire show essentially it feels crazy to like take all the

03:38pieces apart and then put them together in different order yeah and I think I'd

03:42rather feel this way where I'm a little bit confused a little bit like what go

03:47what then being like it on autopilot yeah because I could do the show we were doing

03:53in Asia I could do with my yeah at first we're all like we all fear change but then we're here

03:59because we accepted challenges our whole lives oh my god that was a risk that could

04:03have gone so bad there was the danger that we it could have felt like we had sort of shoehorned

04:08something in or that you know people didn't like the new show as much as they like the old

04:13show I swear to god if I heard people online being like I missed the old show I was gonna be

04:17like oh my god you have no idea how hard this was to do we're gonna get to watch 45,000 people

04:24experience the fact that they're seeing something that's never been seen before

04:28I went out to play our first show of the new set in Paris the crowd has no idea that we've added a

04:36completely new section and rearranged things and and I am so so excited I love having a good secret

04:44when we brought out this new show in Paris it was so rewarding because all of that secrecy and

04:53all of that working during our only time off paid off so much because the fans were so excited it

05:00was such a dynamic new addition to the show now going into the last show in London I have the

05:09opportunity to add to their experience even on top of that Taylor wants to make the last London show

05:17as powerful as possible she's like I want to blow this thing out we're gonna do this right she wants

05:24to do Florida with Florence Welch Florence the Machine performing Florida with Florence is something

05:31I've wanted to do ever since the two of us wrote that song and then it just so happened that she was

05:35going to be available in London you're not nervous about the show you know you know how it runs and

05:41suddenly it's something like Florence coming to do Florida the choreography meets the music meets

05:48automation which is the stage movements and is starting from scratch again I know that when I say

05:55to them I want to perform Florida with Florence I really want to do it with full production I know that

06:00it's some kind of creative brainstorming sessions but I know it's doable because all the dancers the

06:06choreographers the production designers the crew the entire band every person we have is the best one

06:13doing it in the entire industry this is kind of funny we have to rehearse the song we kind of do what we

06:31usually do in the comfort of studio from the road but also trying to keep things from leaking before the

06:38surprise it's a stadium with no roof so there's like fans outside and say I have to turn the PA off

06:44and we have to do it quietly you know it is so much extra work to keep things a surprise let me tell

06:56you I I need a nap just thinking about it but it's so worth it when it when we can actually pull it off

07:02your programming sounds at soundcheck the dancers are finding a place to work on choreography for it

07:10where people can't find out what's happening you know before you know it I'm in a random ballroom in

07:16the middle of the hotel with Amanda at like 9 30 at night maybe then maybe you'd come off there

07:23Florence open up on the into the diagonals maybe yeah with choreography I asked one of my friends

07:33Emma Stone who's done a lot of work in dance in her films you know who have you worked with that you

07:38would recommend for this and she's like there's only one person that needs to be on your list and

07:41it's Mandy Moore I never would have thought that I would be in the same sentence as Taylor Swift ever

07:47in my life you know I've always been a big fan but I funny enough I come from really more film and

07:53television I don't really do artists performance now I understand why I was brought in because she

07:58really wanted to do something different and she likes the storytelling I mean her songs are mini

08:03movies so when I listen to them it's just lyrics and melody swirling with ideas in my head and then you

08:11just start making something yeah is there something about that like thought that yeah and then all of a

08:17sudden it comes out yeah do you want to do seven beautiful gorgeous man love like one two Amanda

08:30Balin the first time that I saw her do her thing she was choreographing the tour she was not a dancer

08:37her job was to show me what I'd be doing with the dancers I would just get so much inspiration from

08:47what she was doing as a performer I just kept saying like you're such a pop star Amanda this was my dream

08:57truly it was my dream to do live shows and tour like this more so than Broadway or anything I just

09:03I always was drawn to this I actually haven't looked at these I just keep throwing them in

09:09I started out by doing small things and then I booked a job as a swing for a Janet Jackson tour which

09:17was oh I'd always wanted to dance for her I went on to tour with Celine Dion what else have I done

09:24oh oh I danced for Lady Gaga for five plus years I toured for five years straight I worked on Glee which

09:31was a long-standing dancing TV show for a while that was a wonderful job I went on to do some films

09:36like La La Land I've performed at probably every major award show with different artists and I've

09:43been a part of many tours as much as you want it to last forever dance isn't a forever career the

09:54demand on your body is not sustainable we can get this strong when you do all those you know wild

10:00movements then this can stabilize your spine helping I have two labral tears in my hip flexors like

10:06things were just breaking down I kind of just decided it was a very tough decision but to gracefully start

10:13to peel myself away from being a professional dancer and to do things behind the scenes I

10:21remember asking Mandy I wonder if Amanda would ever dance with us and Mandy was like ah she's she's retired

10:30she hung up her dancing shoes a while ago at some point Mandy came to me and said hey the team wants

10:37to know if you want to do the show my first response to being asked to the tour was a chuckle and oh hell no

10:43I don't even know if I could do it being involved in the behind the scenes and then doing it on stage

10:48those are two different things I had doubts in my ability I was worried that I wasn't gonna be as good

10:55as I was when I was dancing but at the end of the day even though there was a lot of fear it was just too

11:02wonderful of an opportunity a second chant I get chills it was a second chance that most people don't get to

11:09have we're counting this song in fast state so it'll be a one two three four five six seven eight oh one

11:21two three four five seven eight she says um and a five two three four on five it's the word weed and

11:29you guys are gonna kind of do like a little bit of a deflate and my friends all smell like weed yeah

11:35weed or little babies and you'll roll up uh-huh and on the five of the fifth and my friends all smell

11:44like weed or little one two three four five six seven eight okay just so you have an idea and then

11:51you guys wet loose hey Dewey Amanda and I were in like an empty ballroom last night just like okay

12:03let's just get hope like idiots you just see Amanda and I as you can imagine it's the normal okay

12:08it's a hell of a drug it is always weird I think with choreography because it is true it's like

12:18literally a week ago this thing didn't exist and my friends all smell like weed okay so with the

12:23exact oh do you want to do this and just roughly but oh great I was like why do they all just do it

12:28and then like the dancers become the accessories to Taylor and to the stage and to the whole experience

12:36so it's a really important thing and I take it very seriously you know I always get nervous when I'm

12:43showing Taylor something for the first time because I ultimately I just want to do well you

12:48know like I want to make her happy because I just you know so much respect for her I love her I mean I

12:54was really terrified the first time I had to show her something we can figure this out together

12:59but luckily you know since the very early stages of this her and I have a really nice communication

13:07Taylor can give me thoughts or colors or ideas and I think I'm able to understand what she wants

13:20visually I want to kind of channel like a rites of spring Florence machine like like like it's taking

13:26our body yeah like like fully like like reaching you know like like kind of like um like girl in an

13:34insane asylum slash wood nymph love it yeah so I mean yes wasn't nervous I'm always nervous I'm always

13:42sweating I'm like oh god did I make the right thing is this bad choices hello how are you really good

13:48how are you doing all right do you want to watch one I would think kind of see I'll do uh Florence's

13:53track uh we're just doing the speaker right here yeah yeah okay guys ready to move yes okay go for

13:59one two three oh I love that go and the city

14:24oh my god

14:50and then feel like you guys can play here

15:07and then yeah you made this like wave wow could it be kind of cool huh cool I hate that it's happening

15:16without us there you could do it earlier if you want just didn't know if it was whoa so epic back

15:24there and no one's gonna look at it no no because they're gonna be looking at you and I almost wish

15:29that me and Florence could be on that I mean that would be fucking amazing and she's up for it yeah

15:36I'm worried if me and Florence are here there's people aren't gonna look at it and I and that

15:41bothers me and also I think Florence is like gonna be really shut she's totally down for for like being in the mix and doing cool stuff

15:48and I did my best like in there to rest all of the bodies and I've never played in my body and in my mind

15:55they sink into the smoke oh it'd be awesome if it goes down

16:00is that a bad thing to say in the song then it rises and did you know and totally right

16:06then it all rises at the same fucking time and it's awesome and everyone sees it

16:12good okay let's run one more time and now that I've had this chat with Taylor then I can fix all

16:18we have all the elements I just now need to rework them okay good job guys great job

16:22a lot of the time when you are casting for a tour you know choreographers will sometimes have it in

16:30their head that they want a specific body type they want a specific look they want only women they

16:37want only men it's it they people can get very opinionated about things looking very uniform that's

16:45not what I wanted to do with the Ares tour I feel like when you look up on stage as a fan if you see

16:51people that represent you your friends the people you see in the world that's I think much more

16:57emotional and more connective and powerful I really wanted everyone to look up on that stage and think

17:03I see myself in that person

17:06spaces like the space that Taylor is curating on a day on a night-to-night basis I wish we had more of

17:16that right even outside of entertaining it's so important to be seen to be heard to be understood

17:25my background as a dancer I had a lot of teachers and professors who were not so kind mostly around

17:37my size and and if I wanted to be a professional dancer I would need to lose weight I remember doing

17:43an audition and the director of the company said to me okay so what are we gonna do about your body

17:48in life some people are going to try to tear you down they want you to do something else other than

17:55the thing that you are in love with and then there are kind people who ground you and in my experience

18:03that's my mom and my brother it's important to know I came from a family with an excess of love right

18:12my mother sacrificed a lot for my brother and I to just have experiences and so my brother he fell

18:22in love with sports I fell in love with dance and we were sort of navigating our training at the same

18:29time middle school high school college and it has been the joy of my life to watch him thrive in something

18:39that he loves so so much now he plays in the NFL and I watched my brother go to the Super Bowl three

18:46times I graduated college and thought I was gonna be teaching dance for the rest of my life and I

18:53remember getting a email that said there's a closed audition we cannot disclose who the artist is but

19:00it's being choreographed by Mandy Moore I didn't have like a dollar to my name at the time and I called my

19:08brother I was like listen I don't know what this is but something is telling me that I have to be

19:18in this room he was like okay we will make it happen and he bought me a flight

19:24when he came into the audition I was just like he's magnetic I mean he's a great dancer his smile is like

19:37a thousand watt smile you know he's really well trained he just embodies what I felt was like the

19:45spirit of what these people need to be Cam is someone who absolutely lights up not only the stage but just

19:52our entire vibe as a tour he's just so himself I don't want dancers that blend in I don't care about

20:00them pulling focus I want them to pull focus I want you to feel like you saw an entire crew of

20:07individual stars on the stage now knowing that spaces like this do exist for me that allow me to be the

20:20fullest version of me with with all I have to offer in this body as it exists right now this feels like my Super Bowl

20:32I didn't leave my hotel room yeah woke up with a cat on my head

20:44oh it's a good app we'll get you a temporary one okay yeah morning hi

20:51bonus day is so important because setting a precedent with the heiress tour is really important to me

21:06because people who work on the road if the tour grosses more they get more of a bonus and these

21:12people just work so hard and they are the best at what they do so every single person on the crew

21:19I've handwritten them a note it took me a couple weeks but it's fun to write the notes it's like fun

21:25to to think about everybody's lives that they're gonna go back to and the time off they're gonna

21:30have and the you know the kids they haven't seen because they've been away from months and it just

21:34making that worthwhile for them is like really it just it feels like Christmas morning when you finally

21:41get to say thank you bonus day so each one is in its own baggie and I was thinking we can lay them

21:52out oh let me see the wax seal you wax sealed every one of these things yeah and I got in the fire

22:02department almost had to come I want to show you this Taylor six of the audio guys got this tattoo

22:08says cruel summer 152 shows oh my god and then I don't know crazy I don't know if you remember but

22:16on reputation why is it a grim reaper I have no idea they have to keep it like scary they can't like have

22:23like a tattoo of like a butterfly and a kitty cat I think what that means is 152 dates almost killed

22:29them but they made it oh my god that is exactly what it is that's what it means the reality of it

22:35yeah Jesus yeah I'll go behind today get rid of the bags a bit forensic

22:39everybody has the same message on their card so I was hoping you could open it but before before

23:00you look at yours I just wanted to say guys this this leg of this tour has been harder than anything

23:07I've ever done in a live setting and you guys have taken this on with such excitement and such

23:13curiosity and such the endurance you've shown um but the spirit you've shown how much you've given

23:19to these crowds that gives to me every single night the tour has done really well thanks to all of

23:25our hard work so if you will kindly read this message Taylor Swift okay oh there's Cam we've traveled the

23:40world like we set out to do we've dazzled the crowds but we've missed family too my full gratitude doesn't

23:47come from a bank but here's all this just to say things you loved him

23:57my father was the one that presented the checks to our drivers

24:15and he presented handwritten letters from Taylor it's incredible I know tour truck drivers

24:21and I've asked the artists usually give out these big bonuses unheard of

24:25what's wrong Max he's emotional oh my god do you need a hug are you okay I'm gonna pass out

24:35and the first walks uh you know it felt nice if you were gonna slow first and then you round the corner

25:02the heat everybody's got their things they're good at uh it's taken me a really long time to be even

25:10fine at choreography Mandy knows how to approach teaching me choreography from a lyrical perspective

25:18what were you doing this these little steps yeah they're just steps um yeah so just starting with

25:23your uh did you think oh yeah almost really oh good town you'll get arrested I don't do eight counts I

25:32learn based on what syllable of the lyric I'm attaching a movement to and I can't really learn

25:38any other way I've tried Texas Florida should be yeah I didn't know if it should be like sing it then

25:45you throw to them or sing Florida there you go that's what I thought yeah yeah oh sorry to get

25:52out there and learn the choreography in 30 minutes and remember to hit this spot hit this mark this

25:58dancer's gonna come over and stand next to me for this moment front of 90,000 people like my brain would

26:05explode it's an absolute challenge not to mention the whole time she's doing this she's singing and

26:15doing all these things at the same time so it's a lot like juggling for three and a half hours learning

26:21the choreography it's not just doing a step for the sake of doing a step it's all very visual and it

26:28makes sense to me narratively it also is interesting to be in a position where like you know this is a

26:35team of experts and there's something about that that keeps me on my game and focused and locked in

26:42it's one of the elements of like where that kind of pressure is a privilege because they're not

26:49messing up so it better not be me okay so I feel good okay is it okay if I yeah because we're gonna

26:58put quarantine tomorrow so we'll have you okay perfect perfect happy if you I love it I love it I love it I

27:03think it's gonna be so special beautiful job guys beautiful job thanks for the song

27:08my only job I'm excited about seeing the show again you know the driver asked me oh is this your

27:21first time to the show I was like uh no yeah I don't you know my knee is doing better and I don't

27:29really want to be in the wheelchair I need it a little bit but to get you there yeah but I want

27:36to dance tell them I'm gonna tell them because I feel like a hypocrite if I'm sitting in the

27:40wheelchair section and I start popping off you know I think they'll come and take you gonna start what

27:45poppin off and is that the move something like that sometimes it's a shimmy sometimes it's a roll

27:53and when does that when do it is I have so many and a lot of times it's you guys it's choreography too

27:59like I don't know the name it's this way it's like that that I do that yeah shake it off shake it

28:08I do that move too oh are you ready for it doom doom doom that that's my song I love that one this

28:20experience has been really amazing for me it's okay

28:26I've watched you make so many sacrifices

28:40it's okay

28:43so many for us to be able to do what we're doing and to follow those dreams with every part of us

28:58yeah and I am grateful that you're here to see it yeah because Colin and I being able to do what

30:41so we're gonna show you and then like the choreography is like we do something and they

30:46and it affects them like where we're just like Florida but and they're like I have performed on

30:52big stages but this is not like I thought I just show up and I run around like because that's what

32:43storm back in Texas Florida beautiful one hell of a draw back center do it again Florida

32:51we're similar in that the persona is huge but the person is soft and so I think that's why we get

33:02along externally the thing is really big but like when we're together we're just like silly and goofy

33:10seeing the show the most beautiful thing was the crowd I like it was just like the love and the vibe

35:33and I used to say

35:35never say never

35:38He calls me up and he's like, I still love you and I'm like, I'm just, I mean, this is exhausting, you know, like, we are never getting back together.

35:48Nah, bruv.

35:48Ah, getting back together, we can be through you, we can be through you, we can be through you, we can be through you, we can be through you.

36:08They said I was a chick, I guess it must be true.

36:15And my friends all smell like weed or little babies.

36:22And the city weeks of driving by so safe.

36:28Little did you know your home's really only a town you're just a guest in.

36:35So you look your back, no way just to pay for a time, shut down and dance in.

36:41Florida, it's one hell of a picture of Florida.

36:48Florida, it's one hell of a picture of Florida.

36:51It's one hell of a picture of Florida.

36:53It's one hell of a picture of Florida.

36:54It's one hell of a picture of Florida.

36:55London, Wembley Stadium.

36:58My friend Florence showed up to surprise you.

37:01So how does that make you feel?

37:07Working with my name when it came.

37:10I got drunk and I gave it to wash me away.

37:14Barricaded in the bathroom with a bottle of water.

37:17Well, me and my ghost, we had a hell of a time.

37:20Yes, I'm haunted, but I'm feeling just fine.

37:22All my ghost got that lace in their cries, but she and my husband disappeared.

37:29Well, no one asks any questions here.

37:33So I did my best, too late to rest.

37:36All of the bodies that have ever been on my body and my mind, they sink into the storm.

37:43Is that a bad thing to say in a storm?

37:49Well, did you know your home's really old?

37:52It's time you'll get arrested.

37:55So you pack your life away just to wait after a shitstorm back in Texas.

38:01Florida, it's one hell of a picture of Florida.

38:08The feeling of coming up for the first time in that lift, it was kind of landing on Mars

38:19because I'd never seen the stage lit up before, the sound of the crowd.

38:24That was really extraordinary.

38:26You know, it's like you see this cultural moment from the outside and I suddenly was inside of it.

38:31It was wild, but it was really fun and completely terrifying.

38:36Also, Taylor's my friend and I know her as this very cozy person and I came out of it.

38:43I was like, oh my God, it's fucking Taylor Swift.

38:45I was like, oh my God.

39:08You know, I used to kind of be leaving the shows

39:37and seeing people walk home and think,

39:40I really hope they got what they've been waiting for.

39:44I hope they got what they've been saving up their money for.

39:52There's a feeling I have of such pride and satisfaction

39:57because when I leave the Ares tour, I never wonder that.

40:05There's just like this magic in the air.

40:07All these particles of shimmer and glitter and confetti

40:13and girlhood and friendship bracelet beads

40:16and, you know, magic in the Ares.

40:20Ares.

40:22Ares.

40:23Ares.

40:24Ares.
