 Okay guys, today's the day! I feel like that TikTok from Finding Nemo where it's like, it's morning everyone! Today's the day! The sun is shining, the tank is clean, the tank is clean. I feel like that because it is the era's tour vlog. I am so excited. I'm gonna do a few TikToks, like get ready with me, like TikTok thing, and then like the outfit TikTok trend. And I'm also gonna vlog, but like when I get into the stadium and stuff, I'm definitely gonna just vlog on my phone. I need to actually ask my mom where like a portable charger is because I'm gonna need that. Like I did for Lady Gaga, I just vlogged on my phone because as you guys know, like there's weird stadium rules about like the size of your bag, it can't be like this size, and then it has to be clear like I don't know. But first, like always, we're gonna get some Starbucks and I need to run to the store to get some more laundry detergent because we're all out. And yeah, so that's exciting. I just wanted to start the video off here and yeah, it's part of my day, so let's go! Okay, so I kind of wanted to tell you how I got these tickets because let me just tell you, I was on about to pay $800 for concert ticket. Basically, my friend calls me during class, okay? Like I don't even know what I'm doing, but I get a call like a missed FaceTime and you know how like the MacBook connects to the phone weirdly enough? It said missed FaceTime call because I immediately like declined it and I was like, well that's weird, maybe it was just like about dial or something. So like I immediately like declined it and then she she texted me and was like, I have big news like all caps and like my mind goes to she's pregnant. I don't even know why I mean it would I mean it wouldn't be a disaster because like she's married and stuff but like still I don't know why my mind went to that but it did and I'm like oh my god that's so exciting like I don't know I that's where my mind went okay clearly way off okay and she was like no I got Taylor Swift tickets and then I was like oh my god she was like oh I got him for like a really good price I don't like go searching for tickets I have only like purchased tickets for like this cheer live thing um it was a cheer live show through Ticketmaster like I'm not that big on concerts and I know I might get like hate for that but like I don't know it's just a lot of money and like I've just never been a concert girly I mean and it's kind of ironic that now like in the past couple years I've been to like two concerts because I went to the Lady Gaga concert but like I don't seek out like okay when it comes to like an exclusive like piece of merchandise like Lululemon or I don't know I guess materialistic things like I am that person just like seek out check and like go to second hand market to like see what the prices are like I am that type of girly I'm not the type of girl to like go to uh great lengths to get um like concert tickets if other people are that's great because I reap the benefits and I definitely did get lucky um hold on I need to place my Starbucks order she got the tickets I had this whole conversation with her in the bathroom she tells me the price and I was like okay this is definitely like not a good financial decision for me to be making right now because I don't have like a whole lot of income coming in it's not the best decision but like how many times in your life are you gonna get to see Taylor Swift how many times does she even like go on tour and this is the era's tour and you know like we're all about like saying oh my blah blah blah era you know it's just one of those things that it's like I just feel the need like I need to go to this you know like I don't know how else to explain it and I do like Taylor Swift I would not consider myself like a huge like Swiftie like I don't know all the songs and I know I might get hate for that to like hate me but I think she's a great person and I enjoy her music I can go to her concert you know what I'm saying like I genuinely like her as an artist and she is cool like I like her so I want to see her yeah I'm just gonna leave that there but um yeah not the best financial decision right now but it's one of those like the experience am I gonna ever get it again I don't know so I said yes and the concert tickets for myself um she got like insurance so it's a little bit more than this I forget how much like I still have to pay her back for like the insurance part the concert tickets were $330 now you know what I could get like a mini pushet thing from like Louis Vuitton like I was trying to like compare I'm like okay that's fair like I will yeah okay I just said yes I'll go like I'm in so I paid her half and then like I waited a week to see like if the Easter brought me Easter Bunny it brought me money and then after that I paid her the second half and then I still again like I owe her a little bit more but I will obviously get that to her so yeah that's kind of like the story on how I got to go to this concert which is like crazy and it's going to be super fun and I got to skip school today because if you don't want to like listen to this you can always skip over this part but um how I got to like skip schools because like the teachers weren't going to be there and I was like you know what miss her name and I was like do I have to come tomorrow because like you're not going to be here and I'm going to the Taylor Swift concert like can I just miss it and I'll just do whatever work like next week and she was like yeah that's totally fine but yeah that is a story on how I got the tickets and like how we we ended up here so I'm really excited I'm very grateful that I get to go no matter like where I'm sitting like on social media this this is like a huge production and like I think it's done really well so like I want to see it it's not in Miami like the Lady Gaga one was so really without traffic obviously the stadium's only an hour away from my house this is actually like not even a far like concert far way to travel especially for me so I'm really happy about that as well but anyway I am going to get my Starbucks now so sorry for chatting your ears off but I just thought I would need to I just thought I needed to explain everything also for my memories but for your entertainment okay so I got the goods it looks pretty good it looks a little light but it should be fine it's good good way to start the day okay so this is a third of my outfit so I'm wearing this white shirt I'm probably gonna like tuck it into the skirt and then I have these white shoes I mentioned on my TikTok that I really need like white boots number one for Cowboys number two would be perfect for this occasion but I just bought hokas they're like expensive shoes for like being on your feet all day and they'll be good for clinicals and stuff so I will not be getting any boots or anything like that anytime soon I'm wearing my friend's skirt which will be cool and then obviously I just did the usual makeup because I don't have anything special because I don't have any of that so it's fine I just cleared out my phone like from all like pictures and videos so I don't like run out of storage and I can get like good vlog footage as well on my phone again because I'm not taking this camera but yeah I'm planning on taking this big bag I have my belt bag in here but I just kind of want like everything here I mean I have everything in this bag I even have like a phone charger and like extra cash and all that so I just decided I can leave like leave that in my friend's trunk or whatever so yeah she's gonna be here in about 20 minutes and yeah I'm so excited finally it'll be really fun I think tonight's gonna be a really really fun night all right so this is my outfit I will sparkle a little bit and then I'm

and five six seven eight she matters she knows she attend she matters she knows you turn thank you now it's been confirmed Tampa Florida you're already making me feel amazing glorious stadium it's making me feel so so powerful the privilege to say this to you tonight Tampa Florida welcome to the Ares tour people crowd of about 70,000 people who have all ended up and I do I did wonder you know is there anyone here tonight who's gone to a considerable amount of effort to be with us this evening absolutely everyone is there anyone here who put a lot of thought into being here tonight your outfit memorizing lyrics etc so um you just confirmed to me that we're going to have like a really fantastic time together this evening say to every single person here on behalf of every single person who is on the stage who has worked up worked on this tour who helped us design it our beautiful opening acts Gracie Abrams and Viva DuVille on behalf of all of us thank you for spending tonight with us here at the Ares tour so tonight we're going to be going on a grand adventure one era at a time things that started out being written about my life or something that I felt at one point some of these songs may be about fictional characters that I created in my head but the most important thing to me in my biggest dream is that when you sing them tonight they'll be about you and your life by the way I'll be your host this evening my name is Taylor and um and it's like when I would play them at first especially one song in particular I I would feel a lot of pain when singing it and then I would sing it with you and you would sing it back so passionately and it was such an incredibly transformative experience to see that you related to what I was singing that I wasn't alone in that that all of a sudden performing it didn't hurt me anymore it felt like it was about us do you know what I mean what happened you've done that for me ever since I've you've done that with every song I have really you have redefined it and made it ours and I'd love to sing that song that I that I was just talking about it I'm gonna I'm gonna create some characters wouldn't that be cool if you just you know you create some characters you see what happens they fall in and out of love and uh so I think some of my favorite ones were you know this that this teenage boy named James cute gossipy girl at their school named Inez different two every night which is fun and also terrifying for me but mostly fun and you know I think that I would just like to start by saying that I in the last couple of years discovered sort of like the collaborator version of a soulmate I met a guy named Aaron Destner incredibly brilliant we have made so much music in the last couple of years it's it's actually really ridiculous how much music we've made together started with folklore that went on to evermore he's been so helpful with the re-records that I've been doing um and uh we are so lucky tonight Tampa Florida because because Aaron Destner is here things to say um we we wanted to perform for you a song that we did together that's cool um you know this song this song really took on a new meaning when you guys made enough jokes about how you trying to get tickets for this tour the great war when I started the tour I was like I'm good in the acoustic section I'm never repeating a song I'm never doing songs one once um but now I'm like oh there are so many songs I want to do more than once and like so I I'm making a little caveat to the rule which is that if it's if it's on midnight I can do it however many times I want the most accurate picture of like you know my life to date you know it's the most recent album I feel really connected to it I'm really proud of it um so so I was thinking you know I if I want to do songs for midnight's more than once on this tour I will and I'm feeling very midnightcy tonight so I've been you know so so I thought you know in this section in the acoustic set I usually do songs from different albums but I just sounds like so in a midnight's mood right now that I thought I would do one that I've never played before
