00:00 Welcome to the Heiress Tour!
00:03 Let's introduce the thing. Here are the facts of the evening, right?
00:14 It's a Saturday night.
00:17 It's, uh, just a stone's throw from a very, uh, popular metropolitan area.
00:29 There's 74,000 people here currently.
00:33 Which leads me to come to the conclusion that there are about a trillion things you could have decided to do with your Saturday evening.
00:45 And instead, you decided to go to, correct me if I'm wrong, scream if I'm right, a lot of effort to be here with us.
00:53 Is that correct?
00:56 We had a ticketmaster gate of 20, 22, 15 hours apart.
00:59 And I had to run errands and I had to take my computer with me and use my phone as a hotspot.
01:04 And I had to pull over once I finally got in.
01:07 Yeah, we used a lot of people's log-in and you had to flip the credit cards. It was crazy.
01:12 I waited four and a half hours on the presale. I actually had a broken toe and she was on her birthright trip in Israel and we were DMing over iMessage trying to figure out tickets.
01:23 I didn't get tickets the first time around when Ticketmaster put them on sale.
01:26 And I got an email from Ticketmaster like a month later that was like, "Hey, we realized you were one of Taylor's fans. It had a verified code and you didn't get tickets.
01:34 Taylor asked us to make more opportunities to get tickets for her fans."
01:38 So I basically authorized them to charge my credit card and if they count seats for me, then I would get the seats.
01:45 So like a couple of days later, I found out that I got tickets to the show.
01:51 We got floor seats. It was a real Cinderella story to go from nothing to the floor.
01:55 We're in the cup side and we're fourth row so like so close.
01:59 We actually won the Capital One contest. And so like what, two months ago or something, I just got an email saying, "You won."
02:06 And we're like, "We don't know if this is real or not." But we got tickets and yeah, we're excited.
02:11 We didn't get the official notification until yesterday at like 1 o'clock. So we knew they were coming but we were also like, "There's a chance it was a fluke or something."
02:20 We actually got them day of the sale. I got in like two minutes after.
02:25 So like everyone else was struggling. I got two minutes right in and I just bought the first tickets we found.
02:30 So we're up in the nosebleeds but it doesn't matter.
02:34 I actually got them the day of for everybody and I was only in line for 12 minutes so I was really quick.
02:39 She's a fan fan.
02:41 I got very lucky with my tickets.
02:43 So Molly had the presale code but Molly had class during it so I sat on to answer.
02:48 It only took us 30 minutes honestly to get through.
02:50 So I think it took maybe 35 minutes for us to finally hit complete.
02:54 So we had a pretty smooth experience honestly.
02:57 And we got it on Ticketmaster during the presale. We got them an access code.
03:03 We have our Ticketmaster app.
03:05 It's on our arm. It's our 13.
03:07 It's our plug, yeah.
03:09 I took a half day off of work to get them.
03:11 We're sitting in like the last row, practically behind the stage.
03:16 We're spiritually with her. At all times.
03:18 So we're happy. We're very happy. We're very content.
03:21 I told everybody at work I'm going here. Everyone that I ever met in my life goes in here.
03:25 We blocked everything on social media so he doesn't know anything about the concert.
03:29 I'm taking this so seriously.
03:31 You've done that for two months? Yeah.
03:33 Taylor, check out our invisible strings.
03:35 We didn't have time to make the bracelets so we made some invisible strings.
03:39 We love you! We love you!
03:43 By the way, my name's Taylor. I'll be your host for the evening.
03:46 [cheers]
