00:25horrible. I hate it. And I'm gonna tell you I started like

00:29playing with it. And it pulls the layer. Once I pick one part

00:35requirement? Is Taylor safe? You're gonna open for me? You

01:09like bigger than anything I've ever seen. It was like 300 feet

01:13of just stage is huge. So it's just like unbelievable. It was

01:17so much bigger than anything I've ever, ever done. And I

01:22loved it. I took in every moment. What does that do for

01:25your career for your fandom? Do you see your streams going up

01:31like crazy after you play? Do you see your numbers on social

01:34going up? Um, you know, this one, like, yes, it is an

01:37incredible look for me. And I mean, I'm very grateful for

01:41that. But also, like, it's a very cool opportunity for me to

01:44see how her tour works and how her show goes and what she does

01:50in her artistry and her shows. And just kind of cool for me to

01:55experience another artists like world and kind of learn from

01:59that. So it helped me in a lot of ways. Do you want a career

02:03like that? I know that's how I know you want the success. But

02:07with that success comes a lot. Yeah, but I do want a career

02:11like that where she drives her ship. I mean, she does not get

02:15bossed around Taylor Swift does the Boston and I respect that

02:19greatly where like, if there's something she wants and she

02:21likes, then she just goes for it. And she always, you know, it

02:25does well, and it works very hard for us. So I would love to

02:30follow that that aspect of things where I want to work hard

02:33and I want to be the captain of my ship.

02:35Ship that has 89,497 Did you say?

02:39Yeah, yep. Yep.

02:41Does Taylor text you're gonna? I know I'm like laughing, but

02:46that's like, it's insane.

02:49Yeah, heard your reach out to my manager and was like, Hey, Taylor

02:52wants you to open and I was like,

02:56it just like it was insane. I don't even like I can't put it

03:00into words, man. It's just wild.

03:03Do you have a favorite?

03:05That's a good question. Loki. I used to I saw four sisters. I

03:10used to listen a lot with my sisters. And so a very

03:12nostalgic one for me is Romeo and Juliet. Come on, give us a

03:16little Romeo save me. So that's all I'm doing.

03:20It's yours this now.

03:23Stop, she asked you to open for you're not gonna embarrass

03:26yourself.

03:26Well, but she was also really good live. I mean, like that.

03:29I've never seen her live. And her she sung for three hours

03:34over three hours. She sung the whole thing and she sounded

03:36amazing. Crazy.

03:38And now you're on the twister soundtrack.

04:02Yeah, my girlfriend. Yeah.

04:05So how did you get involved with the soundtrack?

04:07Um, so I mean, it's a very like country esque soundtrack. And

04:13for a couple weeks, you know, I like to experiment with like a

04:17little bit of rock and a little bit of indie and a little bit of

04:19pop and a little bit of this and a little of that.

04:21Sound like Taylor Swift.

04:22Yeah, I had I had a couple weeks where I, you know, got really

04:25into like trying country and folk stuff. And yeah, in that

04:30week, I wrote this song called Death Wish Love. And I really

04:33loved it. I love the feel of it. And I liked the song and the

04:38show reached out and they're like, hey, we're just kind of

04:40looking for folk country songs. And I was and it ended up
