TAYLOR (NARRATING): Real life is a funny thing, you know.
I think most of us fear reaching the end of our life
and looking back, regretting the moments we didn't speak out.
When we didn't say I love you.
When we should have say I'm sorry.
So there is a time for silence
and there is a time for waiting your turn.
But if you know how you feel
and you so clearly know what you need to say, you know it.
I don't think you should wait.
I think you should speak now.

Oh hello Chicago, Illinois.
My name is Taylor.
And welcome to the Speak Now World Tour.
You know I was sitting in my dressing room a little earlier today.
And uh
I heard you guys screaming through the concrete walls of this arena.
And I thought to myself ...
I thought to myself: nothing says this is going to be an amazing crowd
like being able to hear them screaming through concrete walls.
Man I just ...
I get so fascinated standing here from this view point.
It's an excellent view of everybody here tonight.
And I can see everyone.
I can see the best friends who came all laid up over there.
I can see you all the way up of the top with the 'SWIFT' light-up sign.
I can...
And I get ...
I get so fascinated by the individual stories in this room.
You know I mean I just think about the fact that
you guys who made the 'Long Live' sign back there.
That must have taken hours.
And everyone here who waited in line and piled into the same room to be here tonight.
It's just so fascinating to me.
And I am so thankful because the main story of it all
the main story line here is that 13,500 of you
decide to spend your Friday night with me.
And I was hoping you would be alright with you if I would tell you some of my stories.
Are you ready?

You guys are really really loud.
Wow!!!
I love it. I love hanging out with you guys
because you're loud and you're daning and you know all the words
and you're also very very nice which I appreciate.
You guys are.
You know the nice thing you guys being nice really means a lot to me
because in my lifetime I've run into people who
aren't quite as nice.
They're in fact more mean.
♪ [MEAN] ♪
You, with your words like knives
and swords and weapons that you use against me
You, have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feelin' like a nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Callin' me out when I'm wounded
You, pickin' on the weaker man
You can take me down with just one single blow
But you don't know what you don't know
Someday I'll be livin' in a big ole city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
You, with your switching sides
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
You, have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down
Tryna block you out 'cause I never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
I bet you got pushed around
Somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now
Cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know what you don't know
Someday I'll be livin' in a big ole city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in a bar
Talkin' over a football game
With that same big loud opinion but
Nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and rumbling on about how I can't sing
All you are is mean
And a liar
And pathetic
And alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
But someday I'll be livin' in a big ole city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
Someday I'll be livin' in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

for example like for me a cello sounds sad
and uh a ukulele I'm playing right now that sounds really happy, don't you think
I got this in Hawaii a few years ago and uh...
I've always wanted to play for you in a concert
But it felt like...
it felt like if I was gonna play it for you I'd have to play it on a very happy song, don't you think
You know like a song about falling in love or having a best first day of your entire life

When I started writing songs when I was about 12
And uh, you know back then, it kind of started out something
that was like more of a hobby I really liked doing it
And then it became something that was like a daily after-school
activity and then it became all that I ever wanted to do
all I ever thought about dreamed about
It became absolutely everything to me
And I, thank you from the bottom of my heart
for making something that means that much to me, a career path
I... uh I tend to write a lot of songs about love and
relationships that tends to be the main topic covered
And I think it's because we need music the most
when we're feeling things really intensely
And I think the most intense times in your life are
when you're either falling in love or losing it
Don't you think
And I think...
I think I fall into the category of the hopeless romantics and I think you do too
because you're here
I see the things The tricky thing about us
The tricky thing about the hopeless romantics is that
When we fall in love with someone
When we say hello
and it's magical
We never imagined that hello could someday turn into a goodbye
And when we have first kiss with someone and it's magical
We never, ever imagine that someday that could turn into a last kiss

This last album "Speak Now" was inspired by a
lot of things that happened to me in my life
But one thing that inspired the song was um, we went
on our very first headlining tour a few years ago
And I used to stand there before
I would go on stage and listen to the crowd
making the most amazing magical loud screaming sounds
That is exactly the sound I'm talking about
And I hear and I first of all I ... I would sit there and think
I can't believe I get to hear that sound one time in my life
And uh... and I would get a melody stuck in my head
And I could never get this melody out of my head until
I finally wrote it into a song And uh, I called that song "Long Live"
Thank you so much for screaming for us

flashlight. I don't know who carries around a flashlight
But if you do, could you put it up in the air for me?
Oh that's pretty
You know the thing
the thing about life is that every time you learn a new lesson
There is just another one right around the corner
You know, you never know everything
I think you know for me I just kind of giving up and I'm like
I know nothing compared to what I'm going to know some day
