1 00:00:32,750 --> 00:00:37,610 I want to say we have done something that no one has ever done. 2 00:00:39,090 --> 00:00:42,690 We have performed for over 10 million people in person. 3 00:00:43,170 --> 00:00:46,850 That's not like, oh, 10 million people watched a TV show, which is pretty 4 00:00:46,850 --> 00:00:47,870 amazing, too. 5 00:00:49,050 --> 00:00:53,330 We performed for 10 million -plus people. 6 00:00:54,730 --> 00:01:01,490 And I think about every single one of you as little kids. 7 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:08,360 I think about the moment that you decided that dancing was your calling 8 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:13,460 moment that you first saw a band and thought, man, I want to save up for an 9 00:01:13,460 --> 00:01:19,860 instrument. Every single one of us has picked professions that categorically 10 00:01:19,860 --> 00:01:24,620 people, for the majority of the time, they tell you you shouldn't do it. They 11 00:01:24,620 --> 00:01:29,840 tell you you should not try to do this. You have to love the thing so much that 12 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:30,860 you override. 13 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:37,180 85 to 95 % of the advice you are given along the way by oftentimes people that 14 00:01:37,180 --> 00:01:42,820 you respect, people you trust, people in the field, everyone in dance, everyone 15 00:01:42,820 --> 00:01:48,220 in music will tell everyone younger, if there's anything else you can do, do 16 00:01:48,220 --> 00:01:49,220 that. 17 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:57,000 And so I'll see you getting rejected, not getting the job, not getting the 18 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,220 not getting the solo. 19 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,540 I'll see all of those things that happened all along the way, the doors 20 00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:06,440 were shut, the doors that were open, the windows you pried open. 21 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,200 And then sometimes I'll see you when you're older and I'll think about what 22 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:17,780 you're going to tell your family or the people that you mentor because every 23 00:02:17,780 --> 00:02:23,440 single person in here has the spirit to mentor others and to tell them, yes, do 24 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,420 it, try it, go for it. 25 00:02:25,980 --> 00:02:29,680 If you have that same love for it. And I think about whether that's to your 26 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,880 grandchildren or to the little neighbor kid that just wants to talk to you about 27 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:34,880 what that was like. 28 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:44,440 Everyone likes to talk about phenomenon like the heirs tour, almost as if it was 29 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,560 pieces falling into place and some sort of accidental confluence of events that 30 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:50,560 just happened, right? 31 00:02:51,460 --> 00:02:54,380 When I'm thinking about the people that are in this circle, 32 00:02:55,420 --> 00:03:00,320 I don't think about it as pieces that fell into place. I think of each of you 33 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:06,340 like tectonic plates on the earth that took millions of 34 00:03:06,340 --> 00:03:13,300 micro decisions and forces of you pushing and pushing inch by 35 00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:14,800 inch closer together. 36 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,640 And the heiress tour wasn't when all the pieces fell into place. That was just 37 00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:22,080 when every single one of us had done so much work. 38 00:03:22,780 --> 00:03:25,260 to where this tour was just when we all clicked together. 39 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,260 It is our job to make this look accidental. 40 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:36,360 And it is our job to make this look effortless. But I just want every single 41 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,580 of you to know that I in no way, shape, or form look at this as the pieces just 42 00:03:40,580 --> 00:03:43,260 falling into place. You put the pieces where they are. 43 00:03:45,180 --> 00:03:48,720 This is the biggest challenge any of us have ever done. 44 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,600 Tonight, we complete that challenge. 45 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,320 I think I came up with the idea for the Aerith tour about two years before the 46 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:20,279 tour started. 47 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:25,220 There were two main factors that culminated in the Aerith tour. Both of 48 00:04:25,220 --> 00:04:26,240 were unpleasant. 49 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:32,760 We think that these bad things are happening to me or to us. If you flip it 50 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,580 around correctly and you react in a certain way, those things can be 51 00:04:37,580 --> 00:04:38,580 for you. 52 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:46,940 The first one being my entire... The catalog of my first six albums was sold 53 00:04:46,940 --> 00:04:53,740 from under me to somebody else, and I decided to sort of defiantly re -record 54 00:04:53,740 --> 00:04:54,800 all of my music. 55 00:04:56,180 --> 00:05:00,300 You know, when you revisit something, you go back into that world. All this 56 00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:04,840 is so indicative of the time I was in in my life. I feel like I'm reading my old 57 00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:09,980 diary, thinking about all the different girls I was until I was this one. 58 00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:13,500 So that planted a little seed inherently in my mind. 59 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,640 The idea of celebrating your past. 60 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,760 I think the second factor being the pandemic. 61 00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:25,300 We built a home studio in my house. I clung to songwriting as a sort of life 62 00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:28,820 raft. Stop it. Stop. Stop. I'm recording vocals. 63 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,440 Folklore came out three or four months into the pandemic. 64 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,700 We put out Evermore four months later. 65 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:40,560 I hadn't toured in five years, and the fans had created such demand for it. 66 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,480 been loving Taylor since I was... 67 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:50,580 tour again and i just thought to myself what if i did a tour that celebrated all 68 00:05:50,580 --> 00:05:56,720 of these different moments in my life and career where you have chapters 69 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:03,600 up by albums and everything changes when the chapter changes she had said to us 70 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,280 this is going to be over three hours and we were just like oh my god how do we 71 00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:14,000 do this not just planning but executing a tour of this size is 72 00:06:14,750 --> 00:06:15,750 mind -boggling. 73 00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:21,730 The process of putting together this tour happened in many different phases, 74 00:06:21,730 --> 00:06:26,190 over the world, happening simultaneously all at once. You had me doing my 75 00:06:26,190 --> 00:06:30,030 physical training six months before we even go into rehearsals. At this time, 76 00:06:30,070 --> 00:06:33,210 the choreographer goes in with the dancers. We've got the staging and the 77 00:06:33,210 --> 00:06:37,330 production design happening simultaneously, all to coincide with the 78 00:06:37,330 --> 00:06:38,330 date. 79 00:06:38,510 --> 00:06:40,230 The first day of rehearsal, 80 00:06:41,230 --> 00:06:43,890 She got out of her car and had tears in her eyes already. 81 00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:47,270 I'm weirdly emotional right now. It's so nice to meet you. I'm Taylor. Hey. 82 00:06:47,510 --> 00:06:49,810 I'm Kevin. So nice to meet you. I'm Taylor. 83 00:06:50,070 --> 00:06:52,730 Hey. I'm Sam. Nice to meet you. I mean, I've been doing this for almost 20 84 00:06:52,730 --> 00:06:57,550 years. A bunch of different artists. I have never seen that. I have never seen 85 00:06:57,550 --> 00:07:02,410 the boss come into rehearsal crying with tears of happiness and passion. 86 00:07:03,130 --> 00:07:04,190 about their job. 87 00:07:04,470 --> 00:07:07,870 We haven't done what we love on a stage in five years. 88 00:07:08,390 --> 00:07:12,890 Let's go do this. The fans have been so amazing and are so excited for the tour. 89 00:07:13,010 --> 00:07:15,250 I wanted to over -serve the fans. 90 00:07:15,470 --> 00:07:16,570 That was my main goal. 91 00:07:16,890 --> 00:07:20,830 I wanted to over -serve them in terms of the amount of songs they were going to 92 00:07:20,830 --> 00:07:25,330 hear, the length of the show, what kinds of production they were going to see, 93 00:07:25,450 --> 00:07:30,850 different styles of dance, different worlds of dance, wardrobe, how far I was 94 00:07:30,850 --> 00:07:31,850 going to push myself. 95 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,000 Oh, my God. 96 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,640 Okay. Do it, my friend. Here we go. When you come up with a goal like that, you 97 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,060 just have to make a choice and decide there's no going back on that choice. 98 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:45,320 Good 99 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:51,920 morning, 100 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,120 America. It's Taylor. 101 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,400 I wanted to tell you something that I've been so excited about for a really long 102 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,560 time. I've been planning for ages, and I finally get to tell you I'm going back 103 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:02,560 on tour. 104 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:03,640 Oh, my God. 105 00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:08,540 We're doing something very stressful today. Today is Aira's pre -fail day. 106 00:08:08,820 --> 00:08:09,820 One minute left. 107 00:08:11,540 --> 00:08:12,540 192. 108 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,960 Oh, my God. 109 00:08:16,180 --> 00:08:17,360 We got row five. 110 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,160 Oh, my God. 111 00:08:31,850 --> 00:08:35,890 I think I thought fans would be excited about the idea of the Eretor. 112 00:08:36,350 --> 00:08:43,350 This was a completely different thing than 113 00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:44,329 I've ever experienced. 114 00:08:44,330 --> 00:08:50,050 Fans of Taylor Swift crashed the Ticketmaster website today. The demand 115 00:08:50,050 --> 00:08:55,130 Taylor at that point, I don't think anybody in the industry, expert or 116 00:08:55,130 --> 00:08:56,450 otherwise, would comprehend. 117 00:08:57,230 --> 00:08:58,790 There was enough demand. 118 00:08:59,740 --> 00:09:06,000 to do 255 stadiums. I'm actually not in Glendale. I'm in Swift City. 119 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:11,500 Officials actually changed the name from Glendale to Swift City in honor of the 120 00:09:11,500 --> 00:09:17,220 megastar kicking off her tour. So we go from a detail -oriented, methodical, 121 00:09:17,300 --> 00:09:21,900 exhaustive process, and all of a sudden, in the last week leading up to the 122 00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:24,960 first show, everybody is firing on all cylinders. 123 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,800 And then we had opening night. 124 00:09:32,300 --> 00:09:34,400 Just thinking about for years, you know? 125 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,360 Welcome to the Heiress Tour. 126 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,300 Truly, everyone will tell you that none of us knew what the Heiress Tour was 127 00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:46,900 becoming. Kansas City, welcome to the Heiress Tour. 128 00:09:48,740 --> 00:09:52,180 She's a once -in -a -generation type of artist. I would almost compare it to the 129 00:09:52,180 --> 00:09:55,120 Beatles. When people start comparing this to, like, the Beatles and MJ, you 130 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,920 don't expect that what you're getting into is going to be that. 131 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,160 Yeah. 132 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:02,840 Seattle, Washington. 133 00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:05,180 Welcome to the Aaron tour. 134 00:10:06,020 --> 00:10:08,900 Yeah, for sure. The crowd is kind of always at banana level. 135 00:10:09,260 --> 00:10:12,540 And this is a whole other gear, you know, or two. 136 00:10:12,780 --> 00:10:16,960 All the Swifties started jumping around during the song. They caused the 137 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,280 equivalent of a 2 .3 magnitude earthquake. 138 00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:21,700 Los Angeles, California. 139 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,000 Taylor Swift, she's more than just a pop icon. 140 00:10:26,340 --> 00:10:28,020 She's a business powerhouse. 141 00:10:28,750 --> 00:10:33,170 Swift's U .S. tour could generate $4 .6 billion in consumer spending. 142 00:10:33,390 --> 00:10:38,590 That's more than the GDPs of Granada, Belize, and Tonga combined, something 143 00:10:38,590 --> 00:10:43,310 experts have dubbed Swiftnomics. The Taylor Swift takeover seen across the 144 00:10:43,310 --> 00:10:47,870 country, leading to the emergence of Taylor -vating. Even fans without 145 00:10:47,870 --> 00:10:49,130 are traveling to tour stops. 146 00:10:49,370 --> 00:10:53,230 I've never seen this before in my life. It's like one of the most beautiful 147 00:10:53,230 --> 00:10:56,970 things I've ever seen. It's like Woodstock, but without the drugs. 148 00:10:58,090 --> 00:11:03,190 The thing that's so special, it is that community where they get into that 149 00:11:03,190 --> 00:11:08,450 stadium and celebrate not just what's happening on that stage, but what's 150 00:11:08,450 --> 00:11:13,650 happening with them and how they honor each other and love each other. It just 151 00:11:13,650 --> 00:11:15,690 became this movement. 152 00:11:29,730 --> 00:11:33,230 I thought that this would be a tour I was very proud of. 153 00:11:33,450 --> 00:11:34,890 Like, more than a tour. 154 00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:39,110 It's like a force to be reckoned with in global culture. 155 00:11:39,510 --> 00:11:44,250 So never in my life did I think we would have a terrorist plot. 156 00:11:49,370 --> 00:11:53,510 We are continuing to follow breaking news. Three upcoming Taylor Swift 157 00:11:53,510 --> 00:11:55,490 in Vienna, Austria have been canceled. 158 00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,420 After Austrian authorities arrested two suspects, who they say had plans to 159 00:12:00,420 --> 00:12:03,160 carry out a terrorist attack at the concert site. 160 00:12:03,420 --> 00:12:08,400 According to officials, they found chemical explosives, detonators, and 161 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,040 propaganda at the main suspect's home. 162 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,560 Now the big question is, what's going to happen to the rest of her European 163 00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:18,540 tour? Well, at this point, all of her shows are going ahead as scheduled, 164 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,800 including her concert right here in London. 165 00:12:27,690 --> 00:12:34,630 We were in London at my hotel, and basically it's just kind of a 166 00:12:34,630 --> 00:12:38,570 weird feeling going into these last five shows in Europe because it sort of 167 00:12:38,570 --> 00:12:43,350 feels like we've done like 128 shows so far, but this is the first one where I 168 00:12:43,350 --> 00:12:48,930 feel like, I don't know, like I'm skating on thin ice or something. We've 169 00:12:48,930 --> 00:12:55,850 series of very violent, scary things happen to the tour. 170 00:12:58,540 --> 00:13:02,620 We dodged, like, a massacre situation. 171 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,560 And so I've just been kind of all over the place. Like, there was this horrible 172 00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:15,140 attack in Liverpool at a Taylor Swift -themed dance party. 173 00:13:15,900 --> 00:13:18,140 And it was little kids that... 174 00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:35,930 The latest on a knife attack. There's left at least three children dead, 175 00:13:35,990 --> 00:13:39,110 multiple people injured at a Taylor Swift -themed dance class in England. 176 00:13:39,370 --> 00:13:43,570 The youngsters, aged 6 to 11, were dancing to Taylor Swift songs when an 177 00:13:43,570 --> 00:13:46,570 attacker, armed with a knife, launched a frenzied assault. 178 00:13:47,810 --> 00:13:52,750 I'm gonna, um, like, meet some of these families tonight and... 179 00:13:52,750 --> 00:13:57,750 put on a pop concert, you know? 180 00:14:02,839 --> 00:14:05,640 It's going to be fine because when I meet them, I'm not going to do this. I 181 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:06,640 swear to God. 182 00:14:07,380 --> 00:14:09,580 I'm not going to do this. I'm going to be smiling. 183 00:14:10,340 --> 00:14:16,020 So any of this gets out of the way before you ever go on stage. You lock it 184 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,160 Three and a half hours. 185 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:22,200 They don't have to worry about you. It's like you're like a pilot flying the 186 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,280 plane. And if you were like, oh, there's turbulence up ahead. I don't know if 187 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,460 we're actually going to land in Dallas. 188 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,080 I'm going to try hard, but I don't know if I can actually, like, figure out how 189 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,620 to land through this turbulence. Like, everyone on the plane is going to freak 190 00:14:35,620 --> 00:14:40,660 out. You just have to have a calm, cool, collected tone of, like, we will be 191 00:14:40,660 --> 00:14:45,860 landing in Dallas at 6 .05 p .m., got a little turbulence up ahead, but it's 192 00:14:45,860 --> 00:14:50,120 nothing we haven't seen before. Just keep your seatbelts fastened, and 193 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,120 to the Aeros Tour. 194 00:15:12,590 --> 00:15:16,950 There's something special about this tour, this iteration, this combination 195 00:15:16,950 --> 00:15:18,230 people, this show. 196 00:15:18,610 --> 00:15:23,670 And I think about, like, how much love everybody here is pouring into what they 197 00:15:23,670 --> 00:15:27,630 do. The people who build the stage and hang the PA and the people who wash the 198 00:15:27,630 --> 00:15:30,510 clothes and play the instruments and do all the dancing. And the only thing 199 00:15:30,510 --> 00:15:34,190 we're trying to do is to make the world go away for a little while and make 200 00:15:34,190 --> 00:15:37,270 people feel seen and let them scream lyrics that they love at the top of 201 00:15:37,270 --> 00:15:38,270 lungs. 202 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:43,680 It's so beautiful to find something so positive that can be an escape for 203 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:44,680 like this can. 204 00:15:44,700 --> 00:15:48,340 And it's amazing that what we've been a part of can do that for people. 205 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,640 So what happened in Vienna and the idea of someone being able to rewrite the 206 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:59,260 entire headline of this whole experience with one awful act, I feel so grateful 207 00:15:59,260 --> 00:16:03,220 that it got stopped. But I also felt just so horrible for the fans. 208 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:26,360 I know that it sounds so stupid to be so upset about this, but like that 209 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,760 environment of like the era where we're like, everyone's so kind and like just 210 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,540 having fun and like girlhood. 211 00:16:33,100 --> 00:16:35,880 Like, that was so much of what I wanted to experience. 212 00:16:36,180 --> 00:16:41,420 Something this moving, this powerful, this rich in feeling and experience 213 00:16:41,420 --> 00:16:46,440 represents more than just people coming to see an artist perform songs. 214 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,180 And so we have a large responsibility to do this show and still show up for fans 215 00:16:51,180 --> 00:16:52,660 in the way that we can and know how. 216 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,040 Without getting too far into this, I do feel like the world right now is really 217 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,160 torn. 218 00:16:59,100 --> 00:17:03,200 But I think being a part of this tour, we're shining enough light that it 219 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,480 actually feels like, well, man, this is absolutely affecting a lot of lives. And 220 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,359 I think for all of us that are in it, that's a pretty good perspective. After 221 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:16,540 Vienna, all right, let's get out and do these shows because this is why we're 222 00:17:16,540 --> 00:17:17,540 doing it. 223 00:17:57,580 --> 00:17:59,900 Bringing out special guests is something that I really enjoy. 224 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:05,120 Like, when I get to be on stage with someone like Ed Sheeran, we can create a 225 00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:10,140 unique, special moment, and it really just gives something to the fans that 226 00:18:10,140 --> 00:18:11,140 didn't expect. 227 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:16,600 I don't know if he thinks he's doing the harmony the whole time, and I'm doing 228 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,380 the melody. It's very cool that he would come and do this, because I think it's 229 00:18:21,380 --> 00:18:24,160 just going to, like, really delight people, and I think in a moment when, 230 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,660 a lot of the fans need, like, a pick -me -up, because... 231 00:18:27,150 --> 00:18:28,150 I know I do. 232 00:18:29,530 --> 00:18:30,530 Baby! 233 00:18:31,230 --> 00:18:32,630 How you doing? 234 00:18:33,610 --> 00:18:37,890 So I get to, I'm going to the stadium and I'll do a little, I know, we'll do a 235 00:18:37,890 --> 00:18:38,890 little dressing room rehearsal. 236 00:18:43,650 --> 00:18:49,390 I love you. 237 00:18:49,630 --> 00:18:55,050 I don't know, how do you, how do you remember 36 ,000 plays that are all... 238 00:18:55,260 --> 00:19:00,560 tactical missions and then just go do it the same it's basically the same job i 239 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,780 got songs to remember you got plays to remember you've got teammates i got 240 00:19:04,780 --> 00:19:08,840 teammates you've got coach reed i've got my mom 241 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:15,740 i want you to be 242 00:19:15,740 --> 00:19:22,200 here i want to be there why do you have to be in the nfl 243 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,260 so i'm gonna be scouring 244 00:19:27,370 --> 00:19:28,450 I'm so excited. 245 00:19:29,930 --> 00:19:30,930 I'm so excited. 246 00:19:31,790 --> 00:19:33,090 But have a great practice. 247 00:19:34,170 --> 00:19:36,750 I love you so much.

I got this conversation. 250 00:20:22,420 --> 00:20:29,020 I started playing for Taylor 251 00:20:29,020 --> 00:20:30,640 in 2007. 252 00:20:31,180 --> 00:20:32,180 Amos? Yeah. 253 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,480 Hey, Tay. Are you wearing my headband again? I'm wearing our headband. 254 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:42,270 I think if I look... back at it now the thing that remains really constant is 255 00:20:42,270 --> 00:20:47,330 there's not a challenge that she isn't going to meet head -on and kind of 256 00:20:47,330 --> 00:20:54,110 to conquer and having that kind of energy in the in the lead spot has 257 00:20:54,110 --> 00:20:58,470 can say me personally to do a lot of the same thing this diamond here is where 258 00:20:58,470 --> 00:21:02,470 i'm coming up for the first night for the first thing when we were in 259 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,180 for the Erez tour, and we didn't quite know yet what it was going to be, what 260 00:21:06,180 --> 00:21:07,039 was going to be called. 261 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,680 I remember a meeting, I think we were all sitting on the floor, where she kind 262 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:11,680 of cast the vision. 263 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:18,420 So it's going to start with a chorus of... It's really hard, really hard Miss 264 00:21:18,420 --> 00:21:20,160 Americana chorus, like hard. 265 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,100 It's you and me, that's my whole world. They whimper in the hall when she's a 266 00:21:25,100 --> 00:21:26,220 bad, bad girl. 267 00:21:26,420 --> 00:21:29,160 And she's like, here's my vision, it's what we're going to do. 268 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,890 Just going to hit them with... 22, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, I 269 00:21:32,890 --> 00:21:35,890 Knew You Were Trouble, and then the 10 full minutes of All Too Well. Yeah. 270 00:21:36,250 --> 00:21:37,890 We're doing something from every album. 271 00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:40,710 We want to get straight into Willow. We'll do Enchanted. 272 00:21:41,690 --> 00:21:48,450 And we got a list of about 40 songs. 273 00:21:53,150 --> 00:21:55,290 Internally, certainly, I scoff. That's almost three hours. 274 00:21:55,750 --> 00:21:57,130 This is insanity. 275 00:21:57,790 --> 00:21:59,070 What are we going to cut? 276 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:00,880 And I think we added three songs. 277 00:22:06,660 --> 00:22:12,840 It seems obvious now because it did work. 278 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:18,020 But at the time, it's a big risk to decide we're going to do a three -hour 279 00:22:18,020 --> 00:22:20,600 show, we're going to do it in stadiums, and we're going to do it all over the 280 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:21,980 world. And so... 281 00:22:22,460 --> 00:22:26,300 A lot of tenured professionals are doing their very best to quantify what it is 282 00:22:26,300 --> 00:22:28,920 about what she's doing that's connecting to everybody. 283 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,960 It's just a show. It's just music. But there's something more profound than 284 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:33,960 going on here. 285 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,060 Oh, my God. 286 00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:00,520 Security is being stepped up for Taylor Swift's upcoming London concert. 287 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,080 And this is why it's such a big deal. This is her first performance since that 288 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,300 thwarted terror plot to attack a show in Vienna. 289 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:11,660 Swifties are already moving in. All of them going to be carefully screened as 290 00:23:11,660 --> 00:23:15,480 they enter this stadium. Police telling us they want to make sure that they know 291 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,140 what everyone is doing inside that stadium. 292 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,360 And what are the fans there saying? Are they concerned? 293 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,840 Some of the Zwifties said that they were acutely aware of what happened in 294 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,120 Austria, but they're excited. 295 00:23:30,420 --> 00:23:33,960 We've been here for like four or five hours. We've spoken to people from 296 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,660 Scotland and England and Israel. 297 00:23:37,380 --> 00:23:41,220 I feel like what's happening right now with everyone waiting for hours and 298 00:23:41,220 --> 00:23:45,700 extending bracelets and just like everyone making friends, a 10 -hour wait 299 00:23:45,700 --> 00:23:49,000 in five minutes, honestly. I'm actually quite a new Zwifty. 300 00:23:49,570 --> 00:23:54,550 My flatmate hates me now because I just play Taylor Swift all the time. She 301 00:23:54,550 --> 00:23:59,090 said, if you play Karma one more time, you're going to get evicted. 302 00:23:59,410 --> 00:24:01,110 I want to cry for life's joy. 303 00:24:01,330 --> 00:24:02,670 His joy is what I want. 304 00:24:03,930 --> 00:24:07,190 It's been such a long time coming.
