[ CROWD CHEERING ]
¶ TODAY WAS A FAIRY TALE, YOU WERE THE PRINCE ¶
¶ I USED TO BE A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS ¶
¶ YOU TOOK ME BY THE HAND, AND YOU PICKED ME UP AT 6:00 ¶
¶ TODAY WAS A FAIRY TALE

¶ TODAY WAS A FAIRY TALE
¶ TIME SLOWS DOWN
¶ WHENEVER YOU'RE AROUND ¶
THE "FEARLESS" TOUR IS INSPIRED BY LOTS OF DIFFERENT ELEMENTS
THAT I'VE FOUND FASCINATING IN LIFE.
I LOVE COSTUME CHANGES.
I LOVE SPARKLES. I LOVE GLITTER.
I LOVE THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE.
THOSE ARE ALL THINGS THAT I WANTED TO BRING TOGETHER
AND PUT ON THAT STAGE.
I HAD BEEN DREAMING ABOUT DOING MY FIRST HEADLINING TOUR,
I THINK, SINCE I WAS 4 YEARS OLD.
THE STAGE FOR THE "FEARLESS" TOUR
WAS SOMETHING THAT I SPENT A LOT OF TIME DESIGNING
WITH JONATHAN SMEETON, MY STAGE DESIGNER.
I WANTED THE STAGE TO BE PART OF THE PICTURE
AND PART OF THE VISUAL,
NOT JUST SOMETHING WE WERE STANDING ON.
MY STAGE WAS BUILT IN A WAREHOUSE IN NASHVILLE,
AND PULLING UP TO SEE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME
FELT KIND OF LIKE BEING DROPPED OFF ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.
SO EXCITED.
I WAS A NERVOUS WRECK.
NOBODY'S SEEN ANYTHING, RIGHT?
NO. JUST EMPLOYEES.
I HAD ALWAYS WANTED TO PUT TOGETHER A SHOW
THAT INCORPORATED THEATER AND STORYTELLING
AND THE SONGWRITING
AND WHAT I SAW IN MY HEAD WHEN I WAS WRITING THESE SONGS.
¶ DUM DA DA DA
I'M ACTUALLY NERVOUS.
I HAVE, LIKE, BUTTERFLIES IN MY STOMACH.
WE DID THE BEST WE COULD.
OKAY.
HEY, THAT'S FINE.
IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL.
YEAH, IT'S LIKE, "IT'S FINE. IT'S GOOD."
Taylor: I WALKED IN AND SAW IT.
WHAT?!
THAT'S HUGE!
THIS IS GIANT!
AND IT WAS GLORIOUS.
[ Laughing ] THAT'S WHAT WE NEED.
THAT IS SO ROCKIN'.
Andrea: WHEN TAYLOR FIRST LAID EYES
ON THAT STAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME,
IT WAS LIKE OPENING A PRESENT CHRISTMAS MORNING --
THE BIGGEST PRESENT SHE'S EVER HAD.
OH, MY GOD, THIS IS CRAZY.
DOES THE LIFT WORK?
Man: YEAH.
YOU DID?!
[ GASPS ] DO YOU GUYS WANT TO DO THE LIFT?
IT WAS THIS PRISTINE, SPARKLING WHITE STAGE
WITH STAIRCASES AND ALL THESE DIFFERENT SHAPES,
AND YOU COULD PROJECT DIFFERENT VISUALS ONTO THE STAGE.
THIS COMES OUT DURING "LOVE STORY,"
AND IT'S GONNA BE PROJECTED WHERE THESE LOOK LIKE CASTLES.
AND SO WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO TURN THIS WHOLE THING INTO A STORY.
YEAH. I LIKE IT.
ME TOO.
ALL RIGHT, THIS IS GOOD.
Man: HAPPY? YES.
I DON'T THINK THAT I EVER EXPECTED
I WOULD BE ON A BIG STAGE LIKE THIS WHEN I STARTED OUT.
THIS IS PRETTY GIANT.
I COULD FALL OFF OF THIS AND DIE...
[ Chuckling ] WHICH IS AWESOME.
CAN I PLEASE SEE YOU PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR?
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
¶ TIME SLOWS DOWN
¶ WHENEVER YOU'RE AROUND ¶
¶ I CAN FEEL MY HEART
¶ IT'S BEATING IN MY CHEST ¶
¶ DID YOU FEEL IT?
¶ I CAN'T PUT THIS DOWN ¶
¶ CAN YOU FEEL THIS MAGIC IN THE AIR? ¶
¶ IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE WAY YOU KISSED ME ¶
¶ FELL IN LOVE WHEN I SAW YOU STANDING THERE ¶
¶ IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE WAY
¶ CAN YOU FEEL THIS MAGIC IN THE AIR? ¶
¶ IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE WAY YOU KISSED ME ¶
¶ FELL IN LOVE WHEN I SAW YOU STANDING THERE ¶
¶ IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE WAY, TODAY WAS A FAIRY TALE ¶
¶ OH, OH
¶ YEAH
¶ HEY, YEAH
¶ TODAY WAS A FAIRY TALE
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
AND NOW, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE YOU BACK IN TIME.
[ PACHELBEL'S "CANON IN D" PLAYS ]
I WANTED THE DANCERS ON THIS TOUR BECAUSE --
NOT BECAUSE I REALLY WANTED TOO MUCH CHOREOGRAPHY
OR BECAUSE I WANTED THIS TO BE LIKE A DANCE SHOW.
I WANTED THIS TO BE A SHOW
WHERE I COULD TELL A STORY USING OTHER PEOPLE.
I'M REAL EXCITED. TODAY WE AUDITION THE DANCERS.
WE DECIDED THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE THE AUDITION AN OPEN CALL
FOR ANYONE SO THAT ANYBODY COULD AUDITION.
¶ WE WERE BOTH YOUNG WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU ¶
¶ I CLOSE MY EYES, AND THE FLASHBACK STARTS ¶
¶ I'M STANDING THERE ¶
GET YOUR ATTENTION JUST FOR A MINUTE.
IF WE CAN GET EVERYBODY TO LINE UP OVER HERE.
LET'S PUT THE GUYS OVER HERE.
THERE WERE THREE DAYS OF AUDITIONS FOR THE DANCERS.
FIRST THING WE'RE DOING IS THE CHOREOGRAPHY
FROM "LOVE STORY," THE MUSIC VIDEO.
THAT'LL BE THE FIRST THING WE DO.
RIGHT NOW, WE'RE ABOUT TO GO CHECK OUT THE DANCERS.
THEY'RE ALL AT CALLBACKS, AND WE HAVE TO PICK SIX --
THREE GUYS AND THREE GIRLS.
AND I'M REAL EXCITED.
LIKE, REALLY THINK ABOUT THAT.
THERE'S NO COUNTRY ARTIST -- THIS IS HUGE.
THIS IS REALLY BIG THAT SHE'S BRINGING DANCERS ON TOUR.
TAYLOR'S PUSHING THE ENVELOPE HERE,
LIKE BIG-TIME PUSHING THE ENVELOPE,
AND I THINK THAT'S AMAZING.
[ LAUGHS ]
YOU'RE GOING TO CHECK ACROSS FROM EACH OTHER,
TOUCHING EACH OTHER'S WRISTS. YEAH?
WALK, WALK, TRIPLE STEP.
WALK, WALK, TRIPLE STEP THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE DANCE.
SUPEREASY. THAT'S THE TIMING.
QUICK, QUICK, SLOW.
HEY!
HI! HI! HI!
I'M TAYLOR. NICE TO MEET YOU.
Royston: COME ON.
SO, WHY DON'T WE GO AHEAD AND JUST GET STARTED?
SO, WE'LL GET EVERYBODY BACK THERE.
READY? AND...
¶ ROMEO, TAKE ME SOMEWHERE WE CAN BE ALONE ¶
¶ I'LL BE WAITING, ALL THAT'S LEFT TO DO IS RUN ¶
¶ YOU'LL BE THE PRINCE, AND I'LL BE THE PRINCESS ¶
¶ IT'S A LOVE STORY, BABY, JUST SAY YES ¶
Royston: 123 AND 27.
COOL. EVERYBODY ELSE, STEP TO THAT SIDE.
AUDITIONING THE DANCERS --
WE ALL JUST KIND OF HAD A VIBE
ABOUT A FEW OF THEM RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
OH, MY GOD.
Taylor: WE ARE ABOUT TO BRING THE DANCERS IN,
AND THEY DON'T KNOW THAT THEY'VE GOT THE JOB.
THEY JUST THINK THEY'RE GONNA GET ANOTHER CALLBACK.
SO WE'RE GONNA JUST KIND OF
WELCOME THEM ON TO THE TOUR FOR THE SUMMER. I'M EXCITED.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY WELCOME TO THE TOUR.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING.
Woman: OH, MY GOSH!
[ APPLAUSE ] REALLY?
THEY MADE US THINK IT WAS ONE MORE STEP.
IT'S OVER.
IT WAS -- LIKE, I'M SP-- I'M -- I'M -- YEAH.
I AM SO EXCITED.
OH, WAIT. HANG ON ONE SECOND, MA.
SOMEONE WANTS TO TALK TO YOU.
I'LL PUT HER ON SPEAKER PHONE.
HEY.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY HI. I'M TAYLOR.
I'M TAKING YOUR SON ON TOUR THIS SUMMER.
I AM OFFICIALLY ON TOUR WITH TAYLOR SWIFT.
[ LAUGHS ]
I WILL SEE YOU GUYS ON THE ROAD.
[ LAUGHS ]
Taylor: WITH THE DANCERS READY,
IT WAS TIME FOR THE "FEARLESS" TOUR REHEARSALS TO BEGIN.
[ DRUM BEATING ]
[ FIDDLE PLAYS ]
REHEARSING FOR THE "FEARLESS" TOUR TOOK ABOUT A MONTH.
[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]
REHEARSAL'S REALLY IMPORTANT
BECAUSE YOU'RE WORKING ON BLOCKING, WARDROBE, AUDIO.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE TOUR BOOT CAMP.
WHEN I WENT LIKE THAT, LIKE, WHITE CONFETTI FROM THE CEILING.
LIKE, THE TREATMENT TO THE SONG
IS LIKE I'M MARRYING THE WRONG GUY.
YOU GUYS WANT TO DO THIS?
DURING REHEARSAL,
YOU REALLY GET A CHANCE TO IRON OUT ALL THE KINKS,
LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE SMOKE MACHINE.
SORT OF A VOLCANIC ERUPTION UP HERE.
AND I MESSED UP THE PIANO IN A...
GORGEOUS, HEINOUS WAY.
[ CHUCKLES ]
SO...
THERE'S NOTHING BETTER THAN WATCHING HARD WORK PAY OFF.
¶ ...YOU
GRANT, THAT WAS SO PERFECT!
YOU DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT YOUR GUITAR, LIKE, ONCE!
THAT WAS PERFECT!
IT WAS TIME FOR THE "FEARLESS" TOUR TO HIT THE ROAD.
PUTTING TOGETHER A TOUR,
YOU'RE PROVIDING JOBS FOR ABOUT 150 PEOPLE.
YOU'VE GOT THOSE PEOPLE TOURING WITH YOU,
SETTING UP CATERING, DRIVING TRUCKS,
DRIVING BUSES, THE BAND, THE DANCERS, THE CREW,
EVERYBODY WHO BUILDS THAT STAGE, PUTS IT TOGETHER,
THE CARPENTERS, WARDROBE.
YOU HAVE PEOPLE IN THE PRODUCTION OFFICE,
PEOPLE WHO WORK WITH THE PROMOTIONS COMPANY.
IT'S A BIG CONTRAPTION.
[ CHEERING ]
AND FINALLY, THE MOMENT WE WERE ALL WAITING FOR --
STEPPING ONSTAGE IN FRONT OF ALL OF YOU,
MY AMAZING FANS.
BEFORE THE OPENING NIGHT IN EVANSVILLE, INDIANA,
WE WERE JUST ALL SO NERVOUS -- THE BAND.
I KEPT RUNNING THROUGH EVERY SINGLE CUE,
EVERY SINGLE LIGHTING CUE,
EVERY SINGLE DRUM HIT IN MY HEAD,
JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT I COULD REMEMBER EVERYTHING.
IT'S A TWO-HOUR PRODUCTION,
SO MAKING SURE THAT YOU REMEMBER EVERYTHING IS KEY.
[ INTRO TO "LOVE STORY" PLAYS ]
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
¶ WE WERE BOTH YOUNG WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU ¶
¶ I CLOSE MY EYES, AND THE FLASHBACK STARTS ¶
¶ I'M STANDING THERE ¶
¶ ON THE BALCONY IN SUMMER AIR
¶ I SEE THE LIGHTS, SEE THE PARTY ¶
¶ THE BALL GOWNS
¶ SEE YOU MAKE YOUR WAY THROUGH THE CROWD AND SAY HELLO ¶
¶ LITTLE DID I KNOW
¶ THAT YOU WERE ROMEO, YOU WERE THROWING PEBBLES ¶
¶ AND MY DADDY SAID, "STAY AWAY FROM JULIET" ¶
¶ AND I WAS CRYING ON THE STAIRCASE ¶
¶ BEGGING YOU, PLEASE DON'T GO ¶
¶ AND I SAID...
¶ ROMEO, TAKE ME SOMEWHERE WE CAN BE ALONE ¶
¶ I'LL BE WAITING, ALL THAT'S LEFT TO DO IS RUN ¶
¶ YOU'LL BE THE PRINCE, AND I'LL BE THE PRINCESS ¶
¶ IT'S A LOVE STORY, BABY, JUST SAY YES ¶
¶ SO I SNEAK OUT TO THE GARDEN TO SEE YOU ¶
¶ WE KEEP QUIET 'CAUSE WE'RE DEAD IF HE KNEW ¶
¶ SO CLOSE YOUR EYES
¶ ESCAPE THIS TOWN FOR A LITTLE WHILE ¶
¶ HO-OH
¶ 'CAUSE YOU WERE ROMEO, I WAS A SCARLET LETTER ¶
¶ AND MY DADDY SAID, "STAY AWAY FROM JULIET" ¶
¶ BUT YOU WERE EVERYTHING TO ME ¶
¶ I WAS BEGGING YOU, PLEASE DON'T GO ¶
¶ AND I SAID...
¶ ROMEO, TAKE ME SOMEWHERE WE CAN BE ALONE ¶
¶ I'LL BE WAITING, ALL THAT'S LEFT TO DO IS RUN ¶
¶ YOU'LL BE THE PRINCE, AND I'LL BE THE PRINCESS ¶
¶ IT'S A LOVE STORY, BABY, JUST SAY YES ¶
¶ ROMEO, SAVE ME
¶ THEY'RE TRYING TO TELL ME HOW TO FEEL ¶
¶ THIS LOVE IS DIFFICULT, BUT IT'S REAL ¶
¶ DON'T BE AFRAID, WE'LL MAKE IT OUT OF THIS MESS ¶
¶ IT'S A LOVE STORY, BABY, JUST SAY YES ¶
[ GUITAR SOLO ]
¶ OH, OH, OH
¶ BUT I GOT TIRED OF WAITING
¶ WONDERING IF YOU WERE EVER COMING AROUND ¶
¶ MY FAITH IN YOU WAS FADING
¶ WHEN I MET YOU ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN ¶
¶ AND I SAID...
¶ ROMEO, SAVE ME, I'VE BEEN FEELING SO ALONE ¶
¶ I KEEP WAITING FOR YOU, BUT YOU NEVER COME ¶
¶ IS THIS IN MY HEAD? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK ¶
¶ HE KNELT TO THE GROUND AND PULLED OUT A RING ¶
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
¶ MARRY ME, JULIET, YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO BE ALONE ¶
¶ I LOVE YOU, AND THAT'S ALL I REALLY KNOW ¶
¶ I TALKED TO YOUR DAD, GO PICK OUT A WHITE DRESS ¶
¶ IT'S A LOVE STORY, BABY, JUST SAY... ¶
¶ YES
¶ OH, OH, OH
¶ 'CAUSE WE WERE BOTH YOUNG WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU ¶
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
Taylor: EVERY NIGHT, WE DO A CROSS-ARENA TREK.
[ CHEERING ]
AND I WISH THAT I HAD SOME SORT OF COUNTER ON MY FEET
THAT COULD TELL ME HOW MANY MILES WE HAVE WALKED,
ALL FOR THE PURPOSE OF SURPRISING THE AUDIENCE
AND ME POPPING UP IN THE BACK OF THE ARENA.
[ SCREAMING ]
THERE ARE, LIKE, A LOT OF SUPERFANS
WHO KNOW THAT WE DO IT,
AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE GONNA END UP,
BUT THEY'LL, LIKE, BE SCOURING THE ENTIRE CONCOURSE FOR US.
TAYLOR! TAYLOR!
WE MAKE THE WALK EVERY NIGHT
THROUGH THE BACK TUNNELS AND PASSAGEWAYS OF THE ARENA,
UP ELEVATORS, UP STAIRCASES, INTO SUITES.
WE HIDE IN SNACK BARS.
AND IT'S REALLY FUNNY, 'CAUSE, LIKE, A LOT OF TIMES,
THERE WILL BE, LIKE, A GROUP OF PEOPLE WAITING FOR US.
Young woman: TAYLOR!
OH, MY GOD.
WE KIND OF BRING THE SHOW RIGHT THERE TO THEM,
LIKE 6 INCHES FROM THEM.
SO IT'S REALLY A FUN MOMENT.
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
WHEN WE POP OUT, IT'S REALLY, REALLY COOL.
THE REACTION IS JUST UTTER SURPRISE.
AND THERE'S A MOMENT WHERE, LIKE, I'LL WALK OUT,
AND ONE PERSON WILL NOTICE IT, SCREAMS,
AND SCREAMS IGNITE EVERYWHERE.
AND IT'S REALLY COOL.
¶ OH-OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH ¶
¶ OH-OH, OH, OH, OH, OH-OH
¶ OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH,
¶ OH-OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH ¶
[ CROWD SCREAMING ]
OH, OH ¶
¶ OH-OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH ¶
¶ OH-OH, OH, OH, YEAH
¶ HEY, STEPHEN, I KNOW LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVIN' ¶
¶ BUT I KNOW I SAW A LIGHT IN YOU ¶
¶ AS WE WALKED, WE WERE TALKING ¶
¶ I DIDN'T SAY HALF THE THINGS I WANTED TO ¶
¶ OF ALL THE GIRLS TOSSING ROCKS AT YOUR WINDOW ¶
¶ I'LL BE THE ONE WAITING THERE EVEN WHEN IT'S COLD ¶
¶ HEY, STEPHEN, BOY, YOU MIGHT HAVE ME BELIEVIN' ¶
¶ I DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ALONE ¶
¶ 'CAUSE I CAN'T HELP IT IF YOU LOOK LIKE AN ANGEL ¶
¶ CAN'T HELP IT IF I WANNA KISS YOU IN THE RAIN SO ¶
¶ COME FEEL THIS MAGIC I'VE BEEN FEELING SINCE I MET YOU ¶
¶ CAN'T HELP IT IF THERE'S NO ONE ELSE ¶
¶ OOH, I CAN'T HELP MYSELF ¶
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
PLEASE GIVE IT UP FOR AL WILSON ON THE DRUMS
AND AMOS HELLER ON THE BASS!
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
AND THEN I HAND OFF MY GUITAR TO DEVIN,
AND I WALK DOWN THE AISLES.
AND I JUST REALLY LIKE TO HUG PEOPLE.
Andrea: I THINK GOING OUT INTO THE CROWD FOR TAYLOR
IS WHAT SHE NEEDS TO DO
DURING A SHOW TO FEEL THAT CONNECTION WITH HER AUDIENCE.
[ Chuckling ] IT'S HARD FOR HER TO JUST STAY ONSTAGE.
Taylor: IT'S JUST REALLY FUN,
BECAUSE, LIKE, THERE ARE ALL THESE LITTLE KIDS,
AND THERE'S ALL THESE CUTE GUYS,
AND THERE ARE ALL THESE GIRLS THAT ARE JUST LIKE ME.
AND I DON'T KNOW.
I LOVE THOSE PEOPLE SO MUCH,
AND GETTING TO GO OUT THERE AND TELL THEM THAT,
LIKE, LOOK THEM IN THE EYE AND TELL THEM THAT --
OR I'LL GIVE THEM MY BRACELETS AND STUFF.
IT'S JUST REALLY FUN. IT'S MY FAVORITE PART OF THE NIGHT.
Andrea: I THINK THAT SHE LOOKS AT THEM
AND SEES THESE LOOKS ON THEIR FACES,
AND SHE HAS TO GET CLOSER.
THERE ARE A LOT OF GUYS THAT LOOK LIKE FOOTBALL PLAYERS
WHO WOULD NOT NECESSARILY HAVE BOUGHT "FEARLESS,"
BUT THEY KNOW ALL THE WORDS,
AND IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY LISTENING TO THEM,
LIKE, SING LIKE, "SHE WEARS SHORT SKIRTS, I WEAR T-SHIRTS."
LIKE, I LOVE THAT.
THERE WAS A "B" STAGE AT THE END OF THE ARENA,
SO, PART OF THE SHOW,
THE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE
ARE WHAT YOU USED TO THINK WERE THE WORST SEATS IN THE HOUSE.
HA! SWITCHEROO!
SEE WHAT WE DID THERE?
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
¶ OOH, OH-OH, OH
¶ THEY'RE DIMMING THE STREET LIGHTS ¶
¶ YOU'RE PERFECT FOR ME, WHY AREN'T YOU HERE TONIGHT? ¶
¶ I'M WAITING ALONE NOW ¶
¶ SO COME ON AND COME OUT AND PULL ME NEAR ¶
¶ AND SHINE, SHINE, SHINE
¶ HEY, STEPHEN, I COULD GIVE YOU 50 REASONS ¶
¶ WHY I SHOULD BE THE ONE YOU CHOOSE ¶
¶ ALL THOSE OTHER GIRLS, WELL, THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL ¶
¶ BUT WOULD THEY WRITE A SONG FOR YOU? ¶
HA HA!
¶ I CAN'T HELP IT IF YOU LOOK LIKE AN ANGEL ¶
¶ CAN'T HELP IT IF I WANNA KISS YOU IN THE RAIN SO ¶
¶ COME FEEL THIS MAGIC I'VE BEEN FEELING SINCE I MET YOU ¶
¶ CAN'T HELP IT IF THERE'S NO ONE ELSE ¶
¶ OOH, I CAN'T HELP MYSELF ¶
¶ IF YOU LOOK LIKE AN ANGEL
¶ CAN'T HELP IT IF I WANNA KISS YOU IN THE RAIN SO ¶
¶ COME FEEL THIS MAGIC I'VE BEEN FEELING SINCE I MET YOU ¶
¶ CAN'T HELP IT IF THERE'S NO ONE ELSE ¶
¶ OOH, I CAN'T HELP MYSELF ¶
¶ OH, OH
¶ OH-OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH ¶
¶ OH-OH, OH, OH, OH
¶ CAN'T HELP MYSELF ¶
¶ I CAN'T HELP MYSELF ¶
¶ OH, OH, OH
¶ OH-OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH ¶
¶ OH-OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH
¶ OH-OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH ¶
¶ OH-OH, OH, OH, OH. OH, OH
¶ OH, OH
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
WHEN I WAS MAKING MY WAY TO THE BACK OF THE ARENA,
I WANTED THERE TO BE SOMETHING FOR THE CROWD TO WATCH
SO THAT THEY WOULDN'T BE JUST, LIKE, SITTING THERE IN SILENCE.
I WANTED THERE TO BE SOME SORT OF FUNNY LITTLE VIDEO.
Man: TONIGHT, WE EXAMINE A CRIME
UNLIKE ANY I'VE SEEN IN MY ENTIRE CAREER.
AND SO WE CREATED THIS VIDEO CALLED "CRIMES OF PASSION,"
THAT'S A CRIME SHOW -- A SPOOF CRIME SHOW --
ABOUT ALL OF THE GUYS I'VE WRITTEN SONGS ABOUT,
COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW THEIR LIVES HAVE BEEN CHANGED
BY ME WRITING SONGS ABOUT THEM.
YOU KNOW, I WALK DOWN THE STREET,
AND I HEAR PEOPLE SAY...
¶ "DREW WALKS BY ME"
I TRY TO START UP A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE...
¶ "DREW TALKS TO ME"
I DON'T [SIGHS] DO YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
SOME OF THE PEOPLE WERE ACTUALLY
THE ACTUAL GUYS WHO INSPIRED THE SONGS.
WELL, YEAH, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE FORGET THAT --
THAT I WAS ACTUALLY THE VERY FIRST VICTIM
OF A TAYLOR SWIFT SONG.
NOW, EVERYWHERE I GO,
IT'S LIKE EVERYBODY KNOWS MY NAME.
IT'S SORT OF LIKE I'VE BEEN PLUCKED FROM OBSCURITY.
AND I WAS REALLY PROUD OF THAT PIECE.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TAYLOR.
THANK YOU!
IT'S...A TOASTER.
YEAH.
LOOK, THERE'S SOMETHING I'VE NEVER ASKED YOU BEFORE.
WHAT'S THAT?
HOW DO YOU SPELL "NEAL"?
IS IT WITH AN "A" OR WITH AN "I"?
IT'S N-E-A-L.
GREAT.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S REALLY COOL?
WHAT?
HOW MANY WORDS RHYME WITH NEAL.
[ TING! ]
[ OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS ]
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
EVERY NIGHT, THE CROWD GIVES ME SO MUCH,
AND I WANTED TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING BACK.
THIS TOUR WAS PUT TOGETHER
BECAUSE OF WHAT THE FANS HAVE DONE FOR ME
IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
I LOVE YOU, TAYLOR! YOU'RE THE BEST!
AND SO I WANTED A LOT OF THE FUN THINGS THAT WE DID
AND NEW CONCEPTS THAT WE CAME UP WITH TO BENEFIT THOSE FANS.
AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT THIS TOUR
IS THAT WE HAD A REWARD FOR THE CRAZIEST FANS...
[ ALL CHEERING ]
...IF THEY WERE JUST INSANE AND CRAZY
AND HAD, LIKE, COSTUMES ON AND SIGNS
AND IF THEY WERE JUST HAVING A GREAT TIME
AND DANCING AND, LIKE, FREAKING OUT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SHOW.
IT'S A POSSIBILITY
THAT THEY COULD GET RANDOMLY PICKED FOR THE T-PARTY.
THE T-PARTY IS THE GORGEOUS MOROCCAN TENT,
MAGICAL, ENCHANTED-LOOKING LIVING ROOM
THAT WE HAVE BACKSTAGE.
I'M JUST SO IN LOVE WITH YOU, HOUSTON.
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
Andrea: DURING THE SHOW,
WE WOULD HAVE A TEAM OF PEOPLE THAT WOULD GO OUT THERE
AND LOOK FOR THE MOST OVER-THE-TOP TAYLOR FANS
AND THEN TELL THEM THAT THEY'RE COMING TO THE T-PARTY
AFTER THE SHOW TO MEET TAYLOR.
AND THAT IS USUALLY WHEN YOU HEAR SHRIEKS IN THE AUDIENCE.
YES! YES!
IF YOU EVER HEAR THAT HIGH-PITCHED SCREAM
WHEN YOU'RE AT A "FEARLESS" CONCERT,
MOST LIKELY, SOMEBODY HAS JUST GOTTEN T-PARTY PASSES.
OH, MY GOD! THANK YOU!
WE ARE IN THE TAYLOR SWIFT T-PARTY.
Together: TAYLOR PIZZA!
Taylor: I WANTED THEM TO HAVE A PLACE TO SIT DOWN, EAT,
FEEL COMFORTABLE, HAVE SOMETHING TO DRINK,
PLAY PING-PONG, WATCH TV,
DO WHATEVER THEY WANTED TO DO,
BECAUSE THEY'VE MADE A LOT OF THIS POSSIBLE FOR ME.
SO THAT'S WHY YOU'LL SEE LOTS AND LOTS OF FANS
WITH SIGNS THAT SAY,
"BRING ME TO THE T-PARTY" AND "T-PARTY, PLEASE."
THAT'S WHAT GOES DOWN AFTER THE SHOW EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.
IT'S REALLY FUN BECAUSE NOBODY WHO GOES TO THE T-PARTY
IS EXPECTING THAT THEY'RE GONNA GET PICKED.
ALL RIGHT, YOU GUYS READY TO SEE TAYLOR?
[ ALL CHANTING "TAYLOR!" ]
[ CHEERING ]
OH, MY GOSH!
I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'S, LIKE, RIGHT THERE.
YEAH, "I LIVE HERE AND THERE."
YOU'RE JUST LIKE, "NO, I LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN."
OH, MY GOD. I'M WITH TAYLOR!
OH, MY GOSH.
[ LAUGHS ]
ARE Y'ALL BOYFRIEND-GIRLFRIEND? YEAH.
THAT'S AWESOME.
IT WAS MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT TO COME SEE YOU,
SO I'VE BEEN WAITING FOUR MONTHS.
OH, MY GOSH.
HELLO. HEY, YOU GUYS!
NICE TO MEET YOU.
AMAZING. IT WAS THE BEST CONCERT EVER.
Taylor: THE T-PARTY IS A WAY FOR ME
TO GET TO MEET PEOPLE AFTER THE SHOW
WHO I FELL IN LOVE WITH DURING THE CONCERT
WHO I JUST FELT SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE ON MY SIDE.
THE T-PARTY ROOM GIVES ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THAT TO THEM,
AND TO GIVE THEM A HUG,
AND IT REALLY FEELS COOL
THAT WE'VE DONE THAT EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.
I WAS NEVER GOOD AT SPORTS
OR ANYTHING THAT HAD A TEAM ELEMENT TO IT...
UNTIL THIS.
MY BAND HAS BEEN WITH ME FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS NOW,
WHICH IS JUST SOMETHING I'M VERY PROUD OF,
BECAUSE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY,
YOU HAVE PEOPLE JUST SWITCHING OUT PLAYERS EVERY TWO SECONDS.
BUT WE HAVE A FAMILY.
THE BAND -- THEY'RE MY BEST FRIENDS.
LET'S SEE.
AL WILSON IS AN ABSOLUTE LOVING AND MARVELOUS INDIVIDUAL.
PAUL SIDOTI IS THE JUKEBOX.
THAT GUY KNOWS EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT MUSIC.
GRANT MICKELSON IS THE SUPERMODEL.
HE PULLS OFF LOOKS AND CLOTHES
THAT NO ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD THAT I KNOW CAN.
MIKE MEADOWS IS THE PILLAR THAT KEEPS US ALL STEADY.
LIZ HUETT IS THE GOOFY LITTLE SISTER
WITH THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL.
CAITLIN EVANSON IS AN ABSOLUTE ROCK STAR,
A RELENTLESS STREAM OF ENERGY ONSTAGE.
AND THEN THERE'S ME.
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
[ CHEERING STOPS ]
[ CHEERING ]
[ CHEERING STOPS ]
[ CHEERING STARTS, STOPS ]
I'M PRETTY COOL.
Taylor: THIS IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE
WHO I'M GONNA KNOW FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
AND I WANT TO KNOW THEIR KIDS,
AND I WANT TO GO TO THEIR WEDDINGS.
AND TO SEE THEM LIVE THEIR LIVES
THROUGH THE PAST THREE OR FOUR YEARS
THAT I'VE KNOWN THEM
HAS JUST BEEN UNBELIEVABLE.
I JUST -- I COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT THEM.
THEY'RE MY FAVORITE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
I'VE JUST ALWAYS WANTED TO MAKE EVERYBODY FEEL
LIKE THEY WERE A PART OF A FAMILY.
SHE GOES OUT OF HER WAY TO MAKE YOU FEEL A PART OF HER LIFE.
Taylor: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAUL.
THANK YOU. LOVE IT.
THE ONE THING THAT EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT PAUL IS
THAT HE'S OBSESSED WITH KISS.
ABSOLUTELY.
SOMEONE WANTS TO TALK TO YOU.
UM, I THINK HIS NAME IS GENE.
HELLO?
HEY! HOW YOU DOIN'?
OH, MY GOD!
WE'RE A PRETTY COHESIVE UNIT,
AND IT'S INSPIRING TO BE AROUND AND TO BE ONSTAGE WITH.
THERE'S NO NERVES, YOU KNOW?
IT'S A FAMILY, YOU KNOW.
IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO BE,
AND I'M MORE NERVOUS WALKING AROUND DURING THE DAY
THAN I AM RIGHT BEFORE I GO ONSTAGE WITH THEM.
I HAD NO IDEA THAT I WAS GONNA BECOME
PART OF SUCH A WONDERFUL, LOVING FAMILY.
Mickelson: IT CREATES THIS BAND OF A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE,
BUT WE'RE ALL UNIQUE IN A SPECIAL WAY.
AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW -- WE'RE ALL BEST FRIENDS.
IT'S A FAMILY.
AND THAT'S WHAT THE MAGIC IS THAT YOU FEEL
WHEN WE'RE ALL UP ONSTAGE EVERY NIGHT.
Evanson: SHE LOVES HER FANS. SHE LOVES HER BEST FRIENDS.
WE'RE A FAMILY,
AND I THINK SHE KIND OF SUMS UP LOVE IN HER LIFE BY THIS.
THEY ALL KNOW THAT I LOVE DOING THIS,
AND I DO THIS IN A LOT OF PICTURES, AND I DO THIS ONSTAGE.
FOR THIS NEXT SHOW, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM...
WE PICK SOMEONE TO GIVE A SPEECH BEFORE WE GO ONSTAGE,
AND THEN AFTERWARD, WE PUT OUR HANDS IN AND WE SAY,
"NOW LET'S GO OUT THERE AND BE...FEARLESS!"
LET'S GO OUT THERE AND BE...
All: FEARLESS!
SHARING THIS EXPERIENCE WITH THEM...
UNFORGETTABLE.

¶ DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE ME FEEL SMALL ¶
¶ SO YOU CAN FEEL WHOLE INSIDE? ¶
¶ WHY DO YOU HAVE TO PUT DOWN MY DREAMS ¶
¶ SO YOU'RE THE ONLY THING ON MY MIND? ¶
[ FIDDLE AND BANJO PLAY ]
¶ I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR ATTITUDE ¶
¶ I'M FEELING LIKE I DON'T KNOW YOU ¶
¶ YOU TELL ME THAT YOU WANT ME, THEN CUT ME DOWN ¶
¶ I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR REASONS ¶
¶ I'VE GOT NO ONE TO BELIEVE IN ¶
¶ YOU ASK ME FOR MY LOVE, THEN YOU PUSH ME AROUND ¶
¶ HERE'S TO YOU AND YOUR TEMPER ¶
¶ YES, I REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID LAST NIGHT ¶
¶ AND I KNOW THAT YOU SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO ME ¶
¶ TELL ME WHY
¶ WHY
¶ TELL ME WHY
¶ OH
¶ I TAKE A STEP BACK
¶ I LET YOU GO
¶ I TOLD YOU I'M NOT BULLETPROOF ¶
¶ NOW YOU KNOW
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
Andrea: YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL TODAY, MISS TAYLOR.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.
¶ I'M 5 YEARS OLD, IT'S GETTING COLD OUT ¶
¶ GOT MY BIG COAT ON
¶ I HEAR YOUR LAUGH AND LOOK UP SMILING AT YOU ¶
¶ I RUN AND RUN
ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE THINGS ABOUT MY JOURNEY TO "FEARLESS"
IS THAT I GOT TO SHARE THIS WONDERFUL, CRAZY EXPERIENCE
WITH MY FAMILY.
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
ON THE "FEARLESS" TOUR BACKSTAGE,
THEY REFER TO ME AS MAMA SWIFT.
I DON'T MEAN TO BE --
REALLY, I'M NOT TRYING TO BE A PRUDE HERE,
BUT IF I'M THE MOM
OF A 10-YEAR-OLD GIRL IN THE AUDIENCE,
THERE WERE JUST A COUPLE OF MOVES THERE
THAT I WOULD BE LIKE...
YOU'RE NOT LOOKING AT THAT.
Taylor: MY MOM HAS COME OUT ON THE ROAD WITH US,
AND SHE'S ALWAYS AROUND.
OH, MY GOD!
OH, I WAS SO PROUD OF YOU, HONEY.
Andrea: I FEEL VERY LUCKY TO BE OUT ON THE "FEARLESS" TOUR,
BECAUSE I HAVE A 20-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER,
AND A LOT OF 20-YEAR-OLDS
DON'T NECESSARILY WANT TO HANG WITH THEIR MOMS ALL THE TIME.
ALTHOUGH I'M PRETTY LUCKY BECAUSE MINE APPARENTLY DOES.
SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, I MEAN,
THERE'S NOT MUCH TO DO, SO YOU'LL JUST --
NOPE.
YOU'LL JUST GET A GOLF CART AND, LIKE...
[ LAUGHS ]
Taylor: WE LEARNED EARLY ON IN THE WHOLE TOURING EXPERIENCE,
WHEN I WAS 15 AND STARTED DOING RADIO TOUR --
WE LEARNED HOW TO DEAL WITH EACH OTHER ON THE ROAD.
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
MY MOM IS ALL IN CHARGE OF
JUST BASICALLY GREETING PEOPLE AND MAKING PEOPLE FEEL WELCOME.
WELCOME TO THE "FEARLESS" TOUR. THANK YOU.
SHE WOULD FIND A GROUP OF LIKE 25 TO 30 PEOPLE
AND TAKE THEM ON A BACKSTAGE TOUR
AND GIVE THEM SORT OF THE MAMA SWIFT VERSION
OF THE WAY THE TOUR WORKS.
ALL RIGHT, WELL, YOU WERE PROMISED A BACKSTAGE TOUR.
THIS IS ABOUT AS BACKSTAGE AS IT GETS,
BECAUSE THIS IS TAYLOR'S STAGE, AND YOU ARE IN BACK OF IT.
¶ I KNOW YOU'RE NOT SCARED OF ANYTHING AT ALL ¶
THE FIRST THING WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT
ARE THESE BIG, BIG, MASSIVE TRUCKS.
MAMA SWIFT'S BACKSTAGE TOUR...
THAT COVERS OUR TRUCKS.
SHOULD WE MAYBE GO SEE BUSES NOW?
[ LAUGHS ]
YOU KNOW, I DON'T EVEN BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS HAPPENED,
BUT I DO LOVE IT.
AND WE HAVE 72 COSTUME CHANGES HAPPEN.
SO IT REALLY BECAME A THEATRICAL PRODUCTION.
ALSO, OTHER JOBS THAT SHE HAS OUT HERE ARE VERY IMPORTANT.
SHE DRAWS THE "13" ON MY HAND EVERY NIGHT.
13's MY LUCKY NUMBER, SO...
MY MOM HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY LOGICAL, VERY PRACTICAL,
AND I THINK THAT'S WHY I'VE ALWAYS BEEN THAT WAY.
I WISH YOU COULD HAVE SEEN THE EXPRESSIONS
ON PEOPLE'S FACES WHEN THEY SAW THE WATER COME DOWN.
OH, I DID. THEY WERE LIKE, "WHAT?!"
[ LAUGHS ]
LIKE, "OH, NO, SHE DIDN'T!"
OH, IS THAT WHAT THEY WERE SAYING?
IT WAS LIKE THAT. [ LAUGHS ]
I WAS LIKE 4 INCHES FROM YOUR HEAD.
Taylor: MY DAD'S THE ONE WHO'S LIKE,
"I HAD THIS CRAZY IDEA!"
OR, YOU KNOW, HE'S THE DAYDREAMER.
HE'S THE ONE WHO'S ALWAYS, LIKE, WALKING AROUND THE SHOWS
WITH A BAG OF TAYLOR SWIFT GUITAR PICKS IN HIS POCKET
AND HANDS THEM OUT TO FANS.
WOULD YOU LIKE A PICK?
[ MAN LAUGHS ]
THIS IS WHAT I DO. I GIVE AWAY PICKS TO PEOPLE.
MY PARENTS -- I JUST LUCKED OUT.
I'M GONNA GO SNEAK UP ON MY DAD IN THE STORE.
YOU KNOW, TO HAVE TWO PEOPLE WHO REALLY BELIEVED IN ME...
OH, SORRY.
[ LAUGHTER ]
YOU GUYS ARE WEIRD.
IT'S JUST I'M SO LUCKY TO HAVE PARENTS
THAT ACTUALLY TOOK THAT TRIP WITH ME,
TOOK THAT INCREDIBLE, IMPOSSIBLE JOURNEY.
THIS IS A BACKSTAGE PASS FROM 2007.
THERE'S A LOT OF MEMORIES ON THERE.
IT'S REALLY PRETTY COOL.
MY MOM AND I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN BEST FRIENDS,
AND THAT'S REALLY HELPED,
BECAUSE WE REALLY DON'T FIGHT
LIKE YOU WOULD IMAGINE A TEENAGE GIRL
GOING ON THE ROAD WITH HER MOM ALL THE TIME.
WE HAVE LITTLE DISAGREEMENTS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,
BUT MOST OF THE TIME, WE GET ALONG REALLY, REALLY WELL.
¶ I KNOW I'M LAUGHING ON THE CAR RIDE HOME WITH YOU ¶
¶ DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT'S GONNA TAKE TO FEEL OKAY ¶
¶ BUT I KNOW I HAD THE BEST DAY WITH YOU ¶
¶ TODAY WHOO!
TAYLOR AND HER MOM HAVE AN INCREDIBLE BOND,
AND I THINK IT IS AWESOME
THAT TAYLOR HAS SOMEONE AROUND HER AT ALL TIMES
THAT SHE CAN CONFIDE IN AND GET ADVICE FROM
OR JUST TALK TO AND HANG OUT AND BE HERSELF WITH,
AND SHE NEVER HAS TO QUESTION THAT.
MY MOM'S SITTING RIGHT THERE.
SHE SITS AT THE SOUNDBOARD EVERY NIGHT AND WATCHES THE SHOW.
IT'S REALLY COOL TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE FROM YOUR FAMILY
IS ALWAYS GONNA BE THERE WATCHING
TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING'S OKAY.
Andrea: I SEE THIS MASSIVE AUDIENCE
THAT IS SO CONNECTED WITH HER,
AND I SEE THAT RELATIONSHIP GOING ON,
YOU KNOW, BEFORE MY VERY EYES,
AND I JUST -- I FALL IN LOVE WITH THAT AUDIENCE
BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY'RE GIVING HER.
¶ AND I
¶ HAD
¶ THE BEST DAYS WITH YOU...
Taylor: I PLAYED THE SONG "THE BEST DAY" ON MOTHER'S DAY
AS A SURPRISE FOR MY MOM.
THAT'S A SONG THAT I WROTE ABOUT HER.
SHE WAS SITTING THERE AT THE SOUNDBOARD,
AND I SURPRISED HER WITH IT.
AND SHE CRIED, CRIED, AND CRIED.
AND IT WAS REALLY FUN TO SING THAT SONG TO HER.
Andrea: I DO ALLOW MYSELF LITTLE, LITTLE MICROSECONDS
OF STEPPING BACK AND LOOKING AT IT FROM THE OUTSIDE IN,
AND THAT IS WHEN I LOSE IT COMPLETELY.
¶ YOU SET UP A PAINT SET IN THE KITCHEN ¶
¶ AND YOU'RE TALKING TO ME ¶
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I LOOK AT THIS YOUNG WOMAN
AND EVERYTHING SHE'S ACCOMPLISHED
AND WHERE SHE IS,
AND YET I STILL SEE THAT LITTLE GIRL IN THE CAR SEAT
WITH THOSE BIG BLUE EYES IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR.
I SAY, "THAT'S MY BABY."
AND I'M REAL PROUD.
¶ ...YOUR EYES
¶ FOR STAYING BACK AND WATCHING ME SHINE ¶ [ BABBLING ]
¶ AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU KNEW ¶
¶ SO I'M TAKING THIS CHANCE TO SAY ¶
¶ THAT I HAD THE BEST DAY
¶ WITH YOU
¶ TODAY
