00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 1: We know that you've had a huge year. Everybody has

7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: been loving the secret of Us. What can you tell

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: us about how your twenty twenty four was and where

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: you're going in twenty twenty five.

10
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: I think everything this year has been out of my

11
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: wildest dreams, and I think I'm constantly just trying to

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: wrap my head around the fact that I'm like lucky

13
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 2: enough to be in every room that I've been in

14
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 2: and that I get to speak to you both tonight,

15
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: and being at jingle Ball feels like, yeah, it's a

16
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: total childhood dream. I feel like going to school every

17
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: day on the radio like you hear jingle Ball every

18
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 2: Christmas season. So this is all trippy, and next year,

19
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: you know, hopefully more of some version of the same,

20
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: just writing as much music as possible, touring a lot.

21
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: Now are you watching all the tiktoks that everybody's doing

22
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: of your song?

23
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: I have gotten a bunch of those on my own.

24
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: I mean, that is so flattering when they do things

25
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: that are very kind. I think it's cool to see

26
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: how people adopt songs into their lives. And I think,

27
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: you know, I know what it feels like to find

28
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 2: music that I can like apply directly to my life.

29
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: So even one person out there finding my song relatable

30
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: means a lot to me. Of course I could understand that.

31
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: So you've been running pretty much NonStop through twenty twenty four.

32
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: Are their plans to wind down for a minute? No,

33
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: I'll see you're taking a well, I mean.

34
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: Christmas break will be a thing, you know what I mean,

35
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: we get some family time and yeah, so I'll definitely

36
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: take a few naps. Okay, then we're back.

37
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: So when we talk about family time, do you have

38
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: holiday traditions that you're looking forward to.

39
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 2: I was just talking about this with someone. I think,

40
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: like baking for me is my big one, and I

41
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: think being on lots of Christmas cookies, you know, I

42
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: think I being on tour and not having a kitchen

43
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: as readily available as I feel deprived of the like

44
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: creative outlet that isn't cooking. Yeah, I don't know if

45
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: for me that's that's my story of being on tour,

46
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: something called the Era's Tour is part of that. I mean,

47
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: what was that like a masterclass? Honestly, I felt like

48
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: I was at college for how to do the job.

49
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 2: And I think being in Taylor's orbit and being in

50
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 2: the orbit of her crew and band and team and family,

51
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: it's like I learned something every five seconds, I felt like,

52
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: And just what an honor and a privilege for all

53
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: of us who have witnessed this piece of history. It's

54
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 2: unbelievable as nice and as generous as I think she

55
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 2: is times a thousand. Wow, Yeah, that's incredible. Love, It's true.

56
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: So you're talking about all these things that you've learned

57
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: while you were touring. What is a lesson that sticks

58
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: out to you the most?

59
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean from doing stadium shows. I think what

60
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 2: I learned from Taylor specifically is that there is a

61
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: way somehow she does it. She's a superhuman, but to

62
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: make stadiums still feel intimate, and there can be ninety

63
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: thousand people in a room, but you still watching feel

64
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: like you and her are the only two people there,

65
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: and to somehow manage to pull that off while also

66
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: feeling like you're on another planet. With this community of

67
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 2: people that are all feeling everything so deeply and down

68
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 2: to be vulnerable and express it, it's unlike anything. So

69
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: I think, I you know, have been lucky enough to

70
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: walk away with lifetimes of inspiration and yeah, just lots

71
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 2: of goals now out there. Did you walk away with bracelets?

72
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 2: You must have brains and endless supply. If you need any,

73
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: just call me, I will all right.
