1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: This is the Fits In with Kate Richie podcast. Beautiful

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: update on Taylor Swift's end of an era.

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: I think one hundred.

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: And forty nine shows were played over eighteen months. Yeah, extraordinary,

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: twenty one countries's it's just been incredible. And actually I

6
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: think later in the show we're going to speak to

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: little Chloe who we sent off to Vancouver and her

8
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: and a mom were they were there last night. I

9
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: guess they'd be asleep by now. Incredible. But if you

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: were working for Taylor Swift, I mean, of all the bosses,

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: this is the boss you want because she handed out

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: some bonuses last night. Here we go to the crew. Yeah,

13
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift, this is the headline, has handed out one

14
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety seven million dollars in bonuses. So it's

15
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: about ten percent I think they're saying here, that's almost

16
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: ten percent of the tour's overall grows. It was put

17
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: back into the team. I mean, how incredible.

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 2: Okay, the last time Tyler Swift was here was twenty fifteen,

19
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: and Australia was the last. We were the last of

20
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: her world tour. And remember we got approached to say

21
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift wants to finish with a bang with her team.

22
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: Can you guys, if we will give you a Taylor

23
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: Swift red room, if you can organize something to look

24
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: after her team. And that's when we hied basically Hamilton

25
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: Island out.

26
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: Oh is that correct? They got Yes, they got to

27
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: go on the trip. I remember, I think I was

28
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: doing Drive at that time. So much, very big deal.

29
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: And actually I know this is a bit of a

30
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: behind the scenes but I think one of our team members, Ellie,

31
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: she was getting married that weekend, so she was one

32
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: of our producers. She planned the big wedding on Hamilton

33
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: Island and then of all the weekends, all of Nova

34
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: followed her to Hamilton Island. And I don't want to

35
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: say ruined it, but do you know what I mean,

36
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: you don't want all your workmates there, but like lots

37
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: of I mean, what if you if you managed to

38
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: see the show and you could get tickets. Jesse, you

39
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: were saying that Taylor's dad was on a flight he

40
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: sat next to a girl and she said something like

41
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: this is I mean, this is going to be remembered

42
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: like one of the great tours of all time. He

43
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: said that he thinks in looking back in years to come,

44
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: people will view the eras tool like they now view Woodstock,

45
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: like it was just the music event for a generation,

46
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: which I would agree with. Yeah, it's ter of all time.

47
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: Oh come on, come on, But like, okay, here are

48
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: a few stats. She had her largest crowd of all time,

49
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: ninety six thousand people. That was at the mcg here

50
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: in Australia. She did she played one hundred and forty

51
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: nine shows across twenty one months. So I guess, I mean,

52
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: maybe they do deserve the bonuses they've had to give up.

53
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: There were families and lives, well, I know, Alexus, No,

54
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I'm sure there were gifts and things

55
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: along the way, but I would imagine it's been put

56
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: into the account as a one off gift.

57
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: It would have been a signed CD, I'd say it hope.

58
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: So do you think so? I think it's working with

59
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: being able to put it on your resume is pretty awesome.

60
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey, how many times you were talking about going

61
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: to the Christmas concert last night? Fitzy earlier in the show,

62
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: how many times do you think Travis sat through the

63
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: showing shows and forty nine wasn't there last night? He

64
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: had a game.

65
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: No, I'll say twenty five.

66
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: You would hope he was at I don't know, every

67
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: second show. No, oh, I don't think so. He saw

68
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: the show fifteen times. He took to the stage on

69
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: one of those less than one of those nights, less

70
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: than ten percent. Do you remember this the eras to

71
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: her performance? Where was this hang on in Seattle? It

72
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: caused a two point three mag nitude earthquake, that's how

73
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: much everyone was dancing and causing it, causing a ruckus

74
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,839
Speaker 1: shifted the gloss. She had sixteen costume changes in one night.

75
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: She performed forty four songs every night she is. She's

76
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: an absolute machine. Even if you're not a fan of

77
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift. When I saw the show, I thought, this

78
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: woman is backing it up. She's so fit, she's so

79
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: on it. Everything is like perfection, one hundred percent effort.

80
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: No one ever would have missed out. You know, there

81
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: wasn't ever a show where, oh she was a bit tired,

82
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: or we saw footage of her nose running and you know,

83
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: her hair in her eyes.

84
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 2: She pushing.

85
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: Ash's actually got a story. You got an update for us. Ash.

86
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: One of my best friends is Canadian and her mum

87
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,679
Speaker 1: still lives in Canada, and she I think bought four

88
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: tickets to the show. She didn't want all of them.

89
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: She paid four hundred and fifty dollars each for them,

90
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: and she was selling the couple extras that she had.

91
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: She ended up selling them for seven thousand dollars. She

92
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: made an absolute bank.

93
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: She's a scalper and that's legal.

94
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: God. I mean, there's planning for you, isn't there. Of

95
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: course she didn't.

96
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: Want the four tickets.

97
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're going to make your hair.

98
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: Not at that price? O, Kate, where does she go? Now?

99
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: Her and Travis do they go to? Maybe Koda Beach

100
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: and Balley or reckon? They go to Florida?

101
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: Guys, they don't you think? Oh? And how about this?

102
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: She learned to say welcome to the Eras tour in

103
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: fifteen different languages. I mean she's not only remembering the steps,

104
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: the choreography and the words to the songs, she's learning

105
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: how to welcome the crowd in every country. Thank you, Taylor.

106
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: What are you doing the first day off? I know,

107
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: what do you do? She'd have stuff to do, wouldn't

108
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: you be clearing out a dressing room and stuff like that?

109
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: Thank God, thank you, Taylor Swift. She's I mean, like,

110
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: it's actually amazing, and I think bash, She's no. But

111
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is, and people who went to the

112
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: show will understand. I was lucky enough to go with

113
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: Jess one night and that was amazing. On the other night,

114
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: I actually went with my ten year old daughter, she

115
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: was nine at the time, And I will remember that forever,

116
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: the dancing and the singing, and I would like to

117
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: think that may will remember it too. It was just awesome,

118
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,119
Speaker 1: and I hope Chloe and Belinda had an awesome time

119
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,839
