That's my name they're saying
One two
Welcome to Taylor Swift's journey to fearless
You belong with me
This is a story of a little girl who dare to dream big
From her earliest performances
Twinkle twinkle little star
And we do mean early
To her first big break
That was my first huge crowd experience
Then I was addicted
And the challenges along the way
And I went through periods of time where I didn't have friends
That was tough as a mom
to hear the shunning
She didn't know it then
but even as a kid Taylor Swift was fearless
Hi I'm Taylor I'm 11
I want a record deal,give me a call,that will be awesome
We'll show you everything that went into make fearless happen
And share with you the inspiration behind some of our favorite songs
It was s song about breakup
that I had to really address
Come on to the road with Taylor for her first head leading tour
Spend the next three nights
backstage onstage and around the world
For Taylor Swift's journey to fearless
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
You're on the phone with your girlfriend,she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
'Cuz she doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm in the room it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do
But she wears short skirts
I wear T-shirts
She's cheer captain
And I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up
And find what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
Walkin' the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench,thinking to myself
Hey isn't this easy
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine
I know you better then that
Hey whatcha doing with a girl like that
She wears high heels
I wear sneakers.
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know
Baby
You belong with me
I remember you drivin'to my house
In the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're about to cry
And I know your favorite songs
And you tell me about your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with me
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you see
you belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time
How could you not know
Baby
you belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
you belong with me
Twinkle twinkle little star
I think my first memory of loving music happened so early
We would always go to beach in the summer
And I would run from blanket to blanket from family to family and just sing
Yeah Taylor
I got my first guitar when I was 8 or 9 years old
I wouldn't motivate myself to learn
because my fingers were too small
I always had the guitar around
and had it in the corner
And when I was about 12
There's this magical twist of fate
A guy who my parents hired to come fix my computer
I'm doing my homework
And he looks over and sees the guitar in the corner
and he was like do you play guitar
I said Oh no I tried but I no
He said do you want me to teach you a few chords
I was just yeah yes
That was that I was just relentless about playing all the time
Who knows what goes through his mind
I was songwriting for all of my free time after that,
Who's my saying
Who's that guy who plays the mandolin
I think the first full song that I ever wrote was called lucky you
And it was about the girl who dares to be different
At that time that was,,sort of,you know,describing herself
I got teased a lot,got made fun of a lot
and I went through periods of time when I didn't have friends
Because all the other girls were going sleepovers
or playing soccer
And Taylor wanted to sing on the stage
that was a little bit different
Oh,say does that star-spangled banner yet wave...
And I stood there in the middle of the giant basketball arena
with my little sparky American flag shirt
and my white pants and my red headband
I was very patriotic looking
I don't think I'd ever been that nervous in my life
Once again Taylor Swift
They would do a write in the local paper
causing a not so fond day for me next day at school
My worst time of the day was
when I wnet to go pick up Taylor at school
And I would know that things may hadn't been so great that day at school
So I know I was gonna hear whatever happened
And so that was tough as a mom to hear the ostracizing
that went through the literally this shunning that would take place at school
where she would sit down at a table with her lunch tray and
Everyone would move
As a parent...
there's...there's nothing more painful than hearing that your child is in pain
You'll take any bullet for them
but you realize that this is also something that they have to go through
So that's when I got in my mind
there was this magical place called Nashville where dreams came true
and Faith Hill was discovered
And I thought to myself Nashville well I've gotta go there
I begged my parents for I think a solid year
Please can we take a trip to Nashville
Just nonstop
I wanna go to Nashville
Relentlessly
It was all she talks about
so on spring break we went to Nashville to check it out
Everyone you meet in Nashville has the same dream
and a lot of them wanted to be what I wanted to be
which was an artist
And be on stage with a lot of people
Taylor would say that's mercury records
pull over
You know I would need to run my demo CD
I get off and run up to the door
hi im taylor I'm11
I want a record deal
If you give me a call and it's gonna be awesome
I knew I have to figure out someway that would be different
Someway to get better
And have more to offer
Music was something that
was so necessary for me to be happy
I would play for hours and hours
Until my fingers were bleeding
She never put it down
She wouldn't put it down
We'd have literally say to her
Put the guitar down come to dinner and go right back to play
But it became a matter of forcing her to put it down at that point
I just fell in love with it
Seeing someone I don't know
First let me tell you that you're tying me to
The side of a wall,side of a wall
Spin me around and baby all I see is you...
We decide to live in Nashville when taylor
actually get an offer to the development deal
At that point we knew we were just proud parents
And that maybe we should put her in the area
where she could make the most of it
When I was 13
I went to a meeting with RCA
They gave me a development deal
Which is basically like we believe in you kind of
We're gonna watch you
It's not like you're making an album now
Taylor and I would go in there sometimes once a week
With new songs that she had written
They would look at us and say well
It's got a little closer
They weren't saying
Yes that's a great song
Let's put it on a record
At the end of the year
They had a chance to either sign me
Or watch me for another year without commitment
They looked at us and say you know what
We're not ready to offer a record deal
I did something that you don't usually do in Nashville
When you have an in with the record vival I walked away
Because I had a feeling that I was not going to be able to record my own music
that I've written
There's panic strike like
This is a major record label
You don't get that everyday
Are you sure you want to walk away from this
Then she said absolutely
I had this showcase at the bluebird caf¨¦
Ironically that's the place
They got Faith Hill discovered
And I played my guitar sang a bunch of songs that I've written
There was one guy in the audience named Scott Borchetta
He came up to me after the show
And said I want you be my record label
And I want you to write all your own music
And I was so excited
And I get a call from him later that week,and he goes,
Hey,so,good news is I want you on my record label.
Bad news is I don't actually have a record label yet
He explained to me that
He doesn't have a building
He doesn't have a name for it
He just has this dream that he wants to do it
So he says will you please just wait for me
And for some reason
I was willing to wait for that
Because she believed in the person who was gonna be her record label
And he really believed in her
I knew that if I could be a part of building something from the ground up
And being the first artist on the brand new record label
That would be okay with me,as long as I could do something
really adventurous and bold and new
So I signed my record deal with Scott Borchetta
And I was making an album full of songs that I've written by myself
This little red thing
This red guy is the best windscreen you got
So "pop" they don't hear that
It's awesome
There was no enclosurnation that this is gonna work out
But we really believed in it
Putting out my first single
was just such a cool experience
I just don't know it was gonna happen
I remember putting the psychical CD singles into envelopes
to mail out to radio with my mom
I got to go on radio tour
And you hear tour you think tour bus
No rental car
Tourist me
In the backseat
- Hi,baby - How's it going
How are you
I'm doing wonderful. I brought you cookies.
Sure did look at that
Going from radio station to radio station to radio station
And everytime I go to a new radio station
I would play in the conference room for a couple of DJs
And I would like beg them to put on the air
And it worked
My album sold 39000 in the first week
And then overtime it start to sell like this
Then something really crazy start to happen
I was opening up for every single country headliner imaginable
I was opening up for Brad Paisley George Straight
Kenny Chesney
Tim Mcgraw
People I had always wanted to open shows for
I was a nervous rack
I rehearsed nonstop over and over again
I loved it
Those were some of my favourite times
For this song I would love it
If you have your cell phones and glow sticks
Or anything sparkly that you might have
Hold them up for me
And I would love if you would sing along this song
Because this was the first song you ever heard from me
You said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said that's a lie
Just a boy in a Chevy truck
That had a tendency of getting stuck
On backroads at night
And I was right there beside him
All summer long
And then the time we woke up to Find that summer'd gone
But when you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
September saw a month of tears
And thanking God that you weren't here
To see me like that
But in a box beneath my bed
Is a letter that you never read
From three summers back
It's hard not to find it all a little bitter sweet
And looking back on all of that It's nice to believe
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think,that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
It was such a cool energy working through that crowd
People were crying
And I love excitable people
So it was one of my favorite things
I hugged a lot of people
over the courses of that song
I showed love to the little kids I know they're for their first concert
It was really important for me to go out there
and actually say hi to people and thank them for coming
and be right there next to them
because I'm always wanna go the extra miles for them
because I can't believe
the extra thousand miles they're gone for me
That's one of my favorite things every single mile
And I'm back for the first time since then
I'm standing on your street
And there's a letter left on your doorstep
And the first thing that you'll read
Is when you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
Turn your stand radio on
I hope it takes you back to that place
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
Oh,think of me
Whoo-o-o-o-o
You said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said that's a lie
I absolutely I just loved school
And I;m so glad that I've got to go highschool
All the kids were so nice
I wasn't weird for the first time
They didn't really think much of it
That I wanted to be a singer
On the first of ninth grade
Walking into highschool
First class I went to I sat next to this girl she had red hair
And we became friends immediately
Just because I think we were both most cynical people in English class
We just kind of understood each other
We were happy about the same things
We have the same goals
We really hit it off
She became the person that I would play all my songs for
After I've written them
I truly truly appreciate those moments
Someone wish to play something new for me
That'a my favorite time to witness her
Doing what she loves
That's when she was just raw
I would go over to her house
We would sit in her room and I just play it for her
She was like a huge cheerleader
I will compliment her on end and she was like so shocked
She'll just look at me and be like,
Really thank you. Thank you somuch.
She is just so grateful
I wanted to write a song about both of us went through
Abigail and I were15
We were freshman in highschool
And you know you're just navigating in this huge world
Being 15 16 those are some of the hardest year as a girl
I mean that's when you are developing
And trying to figure out who you are. You are...
the tiniest little mino in this huge ocean that is highschool
And you learn lessons
and you learn lot of them in a hard way
You take a deep breath
And you walk through the doors
It's the morning of your very first day
You say hi to your friends you ain't seen in a while
Try and stay out of everybodys' way
It's your freshman year and you're gonna be here
For the next four years in this town
Hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say
You know I haven't seen you around
Before
Cause when you're fifteen
Somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen
Feeling like there're nothing to figure out
Well count to ten,take it in
This is life before who you're gonna be fifteen
You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail
And soon enough you're best friends
Laughing at the other girls who thinks they're so cool
We will be out of here as soon as we can
I remembered when I played Abigail the song for the first time
Which was just the guitar vocal
She was just blown away
I couldn't believe it
And it was very touching
And it still is so to say
...Flying
Your mama's waiting up
And you're thinking that he's the one
And you dance around your room when the night ends
When the night ends
Cause when you're fifteen
That's very personal story of hers
that gets told in that song
It's really raw and real
Everybody asked me
Does that make you uncomfortable
Not in the least
Because looking around in the audience
And seeing people relating to the song
That's how I asked for
Makes your head spin round
But in your life
You'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team
I didn't know it at fifteen
When all you wanted is to be wanted
Wish you could go back
And tell yourself what you know now
Back then I swore
I was gonna marry him someday
But I realize some bigger dreams of mine
And Abigail gave everything she had to a boy
Who changed his mind and we both cried
I'm honored that she would wanna talk about me
And something I've experienced
Write about it and put it into a song
Share with millions of people
It was one of my favorite things about that song is that
She was so proud
That maybe her story can help other girls
To make the right decisions
...To look before you fall
You know like the song says
Just look before you fall
I've found that time can heal most anything
And you just might find who you're supposed to be
I didn't know who I was supposed to be
At fifteen
Your very first day
You take a deep breath girl
Take a deep breath
As you walk through the doors
A lot of songs in my first record
Have little hints of highschool inspiration
I have this song You belong with me
Which is about you know
feeling inferior to the cool girls of the school
Because she's a cheerleader
and she's awesome and you're just like...
"Hey," you know I mean for me like
I think that I learned so much that just sitting there
And feeling everything
In highschool
And emm Teardrops on my guitar
Was is a complete confession that you're in love with someone
Once upon a time
There was this guy
And I was like talking about this guy in school
Let's just write the name into the song
And this guy
Used to sit next to me in class
I started naming people in my songs
when I started to you know have big crushes on people
Feels like you need to walk up to him right now
Tell him how you feel
Who you are
Okay confession
I had the biggest crush on this guy
And well he didn't even know I existed
But everyday just like clockwork
This guy would come into class
And everyday just like clockwork
This guy would sit down next to me
And sometimes he would even talk to me
About his girlfriend
So I never told this guy
That I liked him
But I did write a song about him
So I think he knows now
Drew looks at me
With Drew
Everybody know who that was about
He won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without
I couldn't believe it
This was the first time I had ever seen her go
this personal with the song
I laugh cause it's just so funny
I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love he's finally got it right
I wonder if he knews he's all I think about at night
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do
Drew walks by me
Can he tell that I can't breathe
And there he goes so perfectly
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She better hold him tight
Give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes
And know she's lucky cause
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do
With drew
He actually showed up in my driveway like in a year and half later
I don'tknow
Sometimes it gets awkward
Yeah that was really awkward
I think she was shocked
We were like wow
Who'd thought that was gonna happen
So I drive home alone
As I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down
And maybe get some sleep tonight
'Cuz he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do
He's the time taken up but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into
Drew looks at me I fake a smile so he won't see
We had CMA rehearsals earlier today
And now I'm getting on a plane to get to new york
For one night
And all for tomorrow
When you are releasing a new album
You just go nuts
Cause your schedule you just go crazy
Craziest week of my life
When it was time for the Fearless album be released
We both looked at each other
And realized that she was just living her dream
Taylor Swift

We literally woke up at 4:45
And then got hair and makeup
For goodmorning America
And went to goodmorning America

Taylor Swift

Now I finally
I am not doing anything anymore
I'm on a plane
This day is over
And it has been the longest day ever
When the fearless album came out
It sold 596000 in the first week
And I was really happy about that
Considering the first record
I was like freaking out about selling 39000 the first week
Selling 596000 in the first week was
Quite an improvement
One two
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
The other on my heart
I look around turn the radio down
He says baby is something wrong
I say nothing I was just thinking how we don't have a song
And he says
Our song is the slamming screen door
Sneakin' out late apping on your window
When you're on the phone and you talk real slow
Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date "man I didn't kiss her,but I should have"
And when I got home ... before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
I was walking up the front porch steps after everything the day
Had gone all wrong or been trampled on
And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway,well on my way to my lovin' bed
I almost didn't notice all the roses
And the note that said...
Cause our song is the slamming screen door
Sneaking out late,tapping on his window
When we're on the phone and he talks real slow
Cause it's late and his mama don't know
Our song is the way he laughs
The first date "man I didn't kiss him,and I could have"
And when I got home ... before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
I've heard every album listened to the radio
Waited for something to come along
That was as good as our song
Cause our song is the slamming screen door
Sneaking out late,tapping on his window
When we're on the phone and he talks real slow
Cause it's late and his mama don't know
Our song is the way he laughs
The first date "man I didn't kiss him,and I could have"
And when I got home ... before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
Play it again
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
And I... wrote down our song
Welcome to Taylor Swift's Journey to Fearless
But can you feel this magic in the air
It must have been the way you kissed me
I could never have imagined how those 13 songs have changed my life
today was a fairytale
Taylor's drive in determination pays off
is Fearless becomes the top selling album 2 years traight
Wow. Who saw that was gonna happen.
Well,people asked me like when did you know,
you know,that she had made it.
2009 was a pretty good start.
Kenny Chesney,Brad Paisley,
George Strait
and Taylor Swift...
And I said Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
It was a good year.
I'll be the princess
It's a love story,baby,just say yes
And then,one Grammy for album of the year,when I was 20.
Watch as Taylor Swift transforms her Fearless album
into her first headlining tour.
This comes out during Love Story and it's gonna be projective work.
This looks like castle.
Welcome to the Fearless Tour 2010.
She was the youngest person ever to win a Grammy for album of the year.
Building the dream as Taylor takes on her journey to fearless.
I can't help myself
Today was a fairytale you were the prince
I used to be a damsel in distress
You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale I wore a dress
You wore a dark grey t-shirt
You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess
Today was a fairytale
Time slows down whenever you're around
The fearless tour was inspired by lots of different elements
that I 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 want to bring together and put on that stage.
I have been dreaming during my first headlining tour.
I think since I was 4 years old,
the stage to the fearless tour is something
that I spent a lot of time designing with Johnson Smith,my stage designer.
I want 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 for the first time felt
kinda like being dropped off on the first day of school.
So excited.
I was...in nervous rack.
- Nobody's seen anything,- right
No. Just employees.
I have always wanted to put together a showed
that incorporated theater and story telling,
and the song writing,
what I saw in my head when I was writing these songs.
Actually you are nervous,is it
I haven't been bothered less to myself.
We've already did the best we could.
Ok. Let's see take a view of it. Let's find.
It's like what...It's fine. It's good.
I walked inside.
What that 's huge. This is giant.
And it was glorious.
That's what we need.
That is so rockin'
When Taylor first laid eyes on that stage for the first time,
it was like opening a present at Christmas morning.
A big present she's ever had.
Oh my god. This is great.
- this will do lift work - Yeah
You did Do you guys also do a lift
It's so Christine sparkling white stage,
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 with this look like castle.
And so we've been able to turn this whole thing into a story.
- Yeah,I like it. - Me,too.
All right. It's good.
- Happy - Yeah.
I don't think I've ever expected I would be on a big stage.
like this when I started it out.
This is ...pretty giant.
I could fall off from this and die,which is awesome.
like we see,put your hands in the air.
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
But 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
But 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 fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
Oh...Oh...
Yeah
Hey,yeah
Today was a fairytale
and now,I would like to take you back in time.
I wanted the dancers on the 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.
Hey guys
I'm really excited.Today we audition the dancers.
We decided we want 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
Please bring everybody line up over here.
Let's put the guys over here.
There were 3 days of audition for the dancer.
First thing we were doing is the choreography from the love story,
the music video,that would be the first thing we do.
Right now we gotta go and check out the dancers.
They are the callbacks. They've already picked 6,3 guys and 3 girls.
I'm really excited.
Like really think about that.
This is no country art. This is huge. This is really big.
That she's bringing a dancer on tour.
Taylor's pushing the envelope here.
Like big time pushing the envelope. I think that's amazing.
You're going to check a cross from each other.
Touching each other's wrists.
Walk walk triple step. Walk walk triple step.
They're these whole things.
Go. Super easy. That's the timing.
Quick quick slow. Quick quick slow. Quick quick slow.
Hey.
I'm Taylor. Nice to meet you.
Come on. It's for you.
So when are we going to get started.So we get everybody back there.
Ready Act
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting,all there'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
I want 23 and 27
Cool. Everybody else step outside.
Auditioning the dancers,we all just have a kind of vibe,
about a few of them,right of the back.
We're about to bring the dancers and they
didn't know that they've got the job.
And they just think they are gonna get callback.
So we're gonna just kinda walk them on this tour for the summer..
I'm excited.
I just want to say welcome to the tour. Thank you so much for the coming.
Oh my gosh. Really
One more step it's over
I...I'm...Yeah
I'm soooo excited.
Hang on. Wait a second ma. So I want her to talk to you. Here you go.
Hey.
I just want to say hi. I'm Taylor. I'm taking your son on tour this summer.
I'm officially on tour with Taylor Swift.
Were the dancers ready,it was time for the fearless rehearsals to begin.
Rehearsing for the fearless tour took about a month.
Rehearsals are really important
because you're working on blocking,wardrobe audio.
It's kinda like a tour boot camp.
When I went like that,like white coming felling from the ceiling,
like,the treatment to the song is like a marrying wrong guy.
You guys wanna do this
During the rehearsal,you really get a chance to iron up all kinks.
Like for example,this small machine,sort of like an volcanic eruption up here.
And I messed up the piano in a gorgeous heinous way.
So...
There's nothing better than watching hard works pay off.
Ryan,that was so perfect. You need to look at your guitar at once.
- All right. - 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 got those people touring with you,
setting up catering,driving trucks,driving buses.
The band,the dancers,the cruise.
Everybody who builds up the stage.
Puts up the carpenters wardrobe The people on the production office.
People who were with the promotion company.
It's a big conjunction
And finally the moment we were all waiting for.
Stepping on stage in front of all of you.
My amazing fans.
Before the opening night,in 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 I could remember every thing.
It's a 2-hour production.
So making sure that you remember everything is key.
we were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air
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 there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be this 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 they knew
So close your eyes,escape this town for a little while
'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 there'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 try to tell me how it feels
This might be stupid boy,but its so real
Don't be afraid now we'll get out of this mess
It's a love story
Baby,just say yes
I got tired of waiting wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is better
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said
Romeo save me ive 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 fell to the ground and pulled out a ring
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 you'll pick out a white dress
It's a love story
Baby,just say yes
Cause we were both young when I first saw you
Every night,we do a cross arena track.
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.
There're like a lot of super fans who know that we do it.
They don't know where we're gonna end up.
But they like scouring the entire concourse for us.
We make the walk every night,
through the back tunnel of the passage ways of the arena.
up elevators,up staircases into sweet.
We hided at snack bars.
And it's really funny. Cause a lot of time,
there'll be like a group of people waiting for us.
Kinda bring the show right there to them.
Like 6 inches from them.
So it's really a fun moment.
We popped out. It's really really cool.
The reaction is just utter surprise.
And there's a moment where like all walk out.
And one person will notice it that scream,
and scream all the night everywhere. And it's really cool.
Hey stephen,I know looks can be deceiving
But I know I saw a light in you
As we walked we were talking
And 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 believing
That I don't always have to be alone.
Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help I if I wanna kiss you in te rain so
Come feel this magic ive been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
I can't help myself
ladies and gentlemen please give it up
for Al Watson on the drums
and Amos Heller on the bass
and then I hand off my guitar to Devan
and I walk down the aisles
and I uh
I just really like to hug people
I think going out into the crowd for Taylor
is what she needs to do
during a show that feel that connection with her audience
it's hard for her to just stand on the the stage
it's just really fun because like
there all these little kids
and they're all these cute guys
and they're all these girls they're just like me
I don't know I love these people so much
and getting to go out there
and tell them that like look me in the eye
tell them that or give my bracelets stuff
It's just really fun it's my favorite part in that
I think that she looks at them
and see these looks on their faces
and she has to get closer
a lot of guys look like football players
who would not necessarily have thought fearless
but they know all the words
and that makes me so happy
listening to them like sing
like "she wore short skirts I wore T-shirts"
like "I love that"
there is a B stage at the end of the arena
so part of the show
the best seat in the house
are what used I think the worthiest in the house
Hah switch your rule
see we get there
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
Shine shine shine
Hey Stephen I could give you fifty reason
Why I should be the one you choose
All those other girls well they're beautiful
But would they write a song for you
'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help I 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
I can't help myself
If you look like an angel
Can't help I 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
I can't help myself
Can't help myself
I can't help myself
when I was making my way to the back of the arena
I wanna there'd be something for the crowd to watch
so that they wouldn't be just like sitting there in silence
I wanna there to be some sort of funny little video
tonight we exam a crime unlike any I've seen in my entire career
so we create this video called "crimes&passion"
it's a crime show a spoof crime show
about all of the guys I've ever in songs about complaining
about how their lives have been changed by me writing songs about them
you know I walk down the street
hear people say "Drew walks by me"
I try to start conversation with someone
"Drew talks to me"
do you see what I am saying
some of the people were actually
the actual guys inspire the songs
yeah you know people forget
that I was actually the very first victim of the Taylor Swift's song
now everywhere I go
it's like everybody knows my name
it's sort of like I've been plugged from security
and I was very proud of that piece
happy birthday Taylor
thank you
it's a toaster
yeah look there're something that I've never asked you before
what's up
how do you spell Neal
is it within an "A" or within an "I"
it's "Neal"
great you know what's really cool
- what - how many words rhyme with Neal
every night the crowd gives me so much
and I wanna give them something back
this tour was put together because what the fans have done for me
in last couple of years
I love you Taylor you're the best
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 have a reward for the craziest fans
if they were just insane and crazy
and had like costumes on and signs
if they were just have a great time
and dancing like freaking' out during 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
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
tell them that they are committed the T-party
after the show to meet Taylor
and that is usually when you hear shrieks in the audience
to fear ever hear that high pitch scream
when you at fearlessconcert
most likely somebody just got T-party passes
oh my god thank you
we're in taylor swift's T-party
pizzas
I wanted them th have a place to sit down eat feel comfortable
have something to drink play pingpong watch TV
do whatever they wanted to
because they've made a lot of this possible for me
so that's way you see lots of fans were signed
say "brings 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 goes to the T-party
esp expecting that they gonna get picked
alright everybody are you ready to see Taylor
Taylor Taylor
I can't believe that she's just right there
yeah I looked you in there
you just look like no I live in the small town
oh my god ...it's taylor
are you boyfreind and girlfriend
that's awesome
I've been waiting four month
oh my god
hello hey you guys nice to meet you
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 thought so grateful to have on my side
the T-party gives me an opportunity to say that to them
give them a hug
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 had been with me for about three years now
which is just something I'm very proud of
because the musical industry you have
people just switch out players every two seconds
but we have a family
the band they're my best friends
Let's see...
Al Watson is an absolute love-in-marvelous individual
Paul Sidoti is the juice box
A guy that knows about everything that is to know about music
Grand Michelson is the supermodel
He pulls off looks and clothes
that no one else in the world that I know can
Mike medals is the killer they keeps us all steady
Liz Hewitt is the goofy little sister with the voice of an angel
Kaitlin Evanston is an absolute rock star
A relentless stream of energy on the stage
And then there's me
I'm pretty cool
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 years four years that I've known them
has just been unbelievable
I just couldn't live without them
They are my favorite people in the world
I've just wanted to make everybody feel like they're part of the family
She goes out of the way to make you feel a part of her life
Happy birthday paul
Thank you love it
The One thing that everyone know about paul is that he's obsessed with KISS
Absolutely
Someone wants to talk to you
I think his name is gene
Hello hello
Hey how are you doing
Oh my god
We're pretty cohesive unit
And it's inspiring to be around and to be on stage with
It's a family you know it's great place to be
And I'm more nervous walking around during the day
than I'm right before I go on stage with them
I had no idea that I was gonna become
part of such a wonderful,loving family.
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
That's what magic is you feel grow up on stage every night
She loves her fans she loves her best friends we're a family
And I think she kinda 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 on stage
We pick someone to give a speech before we go on stage
And then after we put our hands in
and we say now let's go on there and be fearless
let's go on there and be fearless
sharing this experience with them
unforgettable
I took a chance,I took a shot
And you might think I'm bulletproof,but I'm not
You took a swing,I took it hard
And down here from the ground I see who you are
I'm sick and tired of your attitude
I'm feeling like I don't know you
You tell me that you love me then you cut me down
And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak
Makes me run for cover when you're around
And 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
You could write a book on
How to ruin someone's perfect day
Well I get so confused and frustrated
Forget what I'm trying to say,oh
I'm sick and tired of your reasons
I got no one to believe in
You tell me that you want me,then push me around
And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak
Makes me run for cover when you're 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..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
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
I take a step back,let you go
I told you I'm not bulletproof
Now you know
you look beautiful today miss Taylor
thank you
you're very welcome
I'm five years old
It's getting cold I've got a big coat on
I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you
And 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
On the fearless tour backstage they refer to me as mama swift
I don't how it would be I'm trying not to be a prevent here
But if I'm the mom of a ten-years-old girl in the audience
There were just a couple of moves that I would be like
- You're right - Do not looking at that
My mom has come out to the road with us
And she's always around
Oh I was so proud at you honey
I feel very lucky to be out on the fearless tour
Because I have a 20-year old daughter
And a lot 20year olds are not necessarily wanna
hang with their moms all the time
although I'm pretty lucky because mine apparent does
sometimes you know there's not much to do
so you'll just get a golf cart and like
we learned early on the whole touring experience when I was 15
and started doing radio tour
we learned how to deal with each other on the road
my mom is all in charge of
just basically greeting people and making people feel welcomed
- yeah welcome to the tour - thank you
she would find a group of 25 to 30 people take them on a backstage tour
and give them sort of the mama swift version of the way the tour works
well we were promised to backstage tour
this is as far as the back stage it get
casue this is taylor's stage and you're in back of it
I know you're not scared at anything at all
First we're gonna look at are these big big massive trucks
Mama swift's backstage tour
That covers our truck shall we see something else now
You know I don't even begin to understand how this happen
But I do love it
And we had 72 costume changes
Also other jobs that she has it here
it's very important that she draws 13 on my hand every night
13's my lucky number so
My mom's always been very logical very practical
And I think that's why I've always been that way
I wish you could have seen this because you see people's face
When the saw the water come down
They are like what
Like oh no she didn't
- I know what they're saying - Just like that
I was like four inches behind
My dad the one who was like I had this crazy idea
Or you know he's the daydreamer
The one who's always like walking around the shows
With a bag of taylor swift's guitar picks in his pocket
And hands them out to fans
- Would you like a pick - I think...
This is what I do I give away picks to people
My parents I just looked out
I'm gonna go sneak up on my dad in the store
You know to have two people who really believed in me
I'm sorry hiahiahia
You guys weird
It's just I'm so lucky
to have parents that actually took that trip with me
That incredible impossible journey
This is a backstage pass from 2007
Thers's lots of memories on them 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
uh...like you would've imagined
A teenage girl going on the road with her mom all the time
We have little disagreements once in a while
But most of the time we get along really really well
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
Bith you today
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 fight in and get advice from
or just talk to and just hang around and just be herself with
she never has to question that
my mom's sitting right there
she sits on the board 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 I everything's okay
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 what they're giving her
I had the best day
With you today
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 sound board and
I surprised her with it and she cried and cried
And it was really fun to sing that song to her
I do allow myself have a little micro seconds of
stepping back and looking at it from the outside in
and that is when I lost it completely
You set up a paint set in the kitchen
And you're talking to me
there are times that I look at this young woman
and everything she has accomplished and where she is
and yet I still see that little girl in the car seat
with those big blue eyes in my rear view mirror
say that's my baby and I'm proud
Staying back and watching me shine
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
Welcome to Taylor Swift's "Journey to Fearless."
I just got the news that my tour sold out Madison Square Garden
in one minute.One.
Yes
One,two
Join Taylor as she travels the globe with her sold-out "Fearless" tour.
The "Fearless" tour has been one of the most incredible experiences of my life.
Never forget the essence of your spark
And guess who she found on one of her stops.
Hey,guys. This is Justin.
Join Justin Bieber and thousands of fans
as Taylor Nation takes over the "Fearless" grand finale.
That arena sold out in two minutes.
What
Just another picture to burn
The excitement builds for Taylor Swift's "Journey to Fearless."
I was so happy that we waited for the right time in my career
where we could put together this tour that was visual,
and we had costumes and dancers and people acting out parts,
and it just incorporated such a theatrical element to that tour,
and it had so much heart,and that's what I'm the most proud of.
You should've said no
You should've gone home
I was hoping that the tour would be successful
but I had no idea that the fans' response would be so amazing.
Get back to me
I should've been there
Oklahoma City
I really really hate that stupid old pickup truck
you never let me drive
The "Fearless" tour turned out to be
so much bigger than I ever could have imagined it...
completely rewarding and just overwhelming.
Backup Baby back up
It's really,really a wonderful thing
to know that every night that we walked onstage this tour,it sold out.
Like,that's the coolest thing in the world.
Everything
We want Taylor
That's my name they're saying
Just another picture to burn
This is the feeling that you dream of having.
Makes everything worthwhile.
Makes every early morning worthwhile.
It makes everything just make sense.
It's just a dream come true.
That's just something you fantasize and dream about.
That's not something that really happens,is it
I write a lot of songs about love,
and I think that's because to me
love seems like this huge,complicated thing,
but it seems like every once in a while,two people get it figured out.
Two people get it right.
And so I think the rest of us,
we walk around daydreaming about what that might be like...
to find that one great love
where all of a sudden everything that used to seem so complicated became simple,
and everything that used to seem wrong all of a sudden seemed right
because you were with the person who made you feel fearless
There's something about the way
The street looks when it's just rained
There's a glow off the pavement
You walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot yeah
We're drivin' down the road
I wonder if you know
I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool
Run your hands through your hair
Absent mindedly makin' me want you
And I don't know how it gets better than this
Uou take my hand and drag me head first fearless
And I don't know why but with you I dance
In a storm in my best dress fearless
So baby drive slow
'til we run out of road in this one horse town
I wanna stay right here in this passenger's sea
You put your eyes on me
Houston Texas now Capture it remember it
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress fearless
Well you stood there with me in the doorway
My hands shake I'm not usually this way but
You pull me in I'm a little more brave
It's the first kiss it's flawless really somethin'
It's fearless
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress fearless
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress fearless
When you write a song about something that you went through,
and you put details in the song like the person's name who it's about
or when it happened or exactly how you saw it and how you experienced it
putting those songs out is sort of a risk.
I think she is this lyrical and expressive person
who has to translate all of her life experiences into rhyme and into music.
The way to keep her happiest was to sit her down
and give her a pen and a journal,and she was happy.
To go out on tour and put those songs to life
and take the lyrics and portray them on a stage,
that's really a very personal thing to do.
I think the reason that people connect to Taylor
is because she is unafraid to put her life out there,
and I think people resonate to that kind of bravery.
And I loved your sign last night. It was so cool.
Thank you.
She has a really unique gift of songwriting.
She sings about everyday things so well,
and she uses it in such a positive way.
I really,really admire that.
I love you,Taylor. You're the best.
- We love you. - You're the best.We love you,Taylor.
I'm pretty sure everybody could just relate to one
Taylor Swift song in their life.
Taylor,listen.Girl-to-girl talk.
- You write songs about my life.Thank you so much. - Me too
Everybody has the same stories,and most people just
and most people just want to be heard,
and she does a really good job at being heard and sharing stories.
Taylor,we love you
we love you Taylor
I know that you are supposed to be afraid of being vulnerable
and you're supposed to be afraid of
giving out personal information and details in your songs,
but I just don't see how that's bad.
"Forever and Always" is a song
about a breakup that I had to really address.
Taylor,right here.
Taylor,straight ahead,Straight Taylor
I don't know.
I was asked about it in,like,every interview,
and so at the time that I was putting together the tour,
I was really sick of getting that question.
If you are naming the guys you've dated in your songs,
why do you think any guy is going to want to date you
So I wanted to base the way that the song was approached
onstage from the angle of having to talk about
your personal life in an interview.
Well,urn,I guess in that situation,I just figure that
if guys don't want me to write bad songs about them,
then they shouldn't do bad things.
Once upon a time
I believe it was a tuesday
When I caught your eye
We caught onto something
I hold onto the night
You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me
Were you just kidding cause it seems to me
This thing is breaking down
We almost never speak
I dont feel welcome anymore
Baby what happened
Please tell me cause one second it was perfect
Now youre halfway out the door
And I stare at the phone
He still hasnt called
And you feel so low you cant feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when he said forever and always
Oh and it rains in your bedroom everything is wrong
It rains when youre here and it rains when youre gone
Cause I was there when you said
Forever and always
Was I out of line
Did I say something way to honest
Did you run and hide like a scared little boy
I looked into your eyes
Thought I knew you for a minute now I'm not so sure
So heres to everything coming down to nothing
Heres to silence that cuts me to the core
Where is this going thought I knew for a minute but I dont anymore
And I stare at the phone he still hasnt called
And you feel so low you cant feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when he said
Forever and always
Oh and it rains in your bedroom everything is wrong
It rains when youre here and it rains when youre gone
Cause I was there when you said
Forever and always
Did you mean it baby
There are a few things that I really just love doing onstage.
Halfway through the song,I start to sort of lose my mind
and throw a gigantic temper tantrum and,like,go insane,
and it ends up scaring the Interviewer off.She runs offstage.
Ah......
I stand up,hit a high note,
and then throw the interviewer's chair off of the giant platform on the stage.
You know,throwing a chair every night is sort of like anger management.
Back up baby back up
Did you forget everything
Back up baby back up
Did you forget everything
And it rains in your bedroom everything is wrong
It rains when youre here and it rains when youre gone
Cause I was there when we said
Forever and always
And it rains in your bedroom everything is wrong
It rains when youre here and it rains when youre gone
Cause I was there when we said
As the song goes on,you see in the natural progression of emotion
after anger comes sadness.
Said forever and always
In the part where I get really sad,
one of the nights at the beginning of the tour,I ended up
putting my hand out,and this girl grabbed my hand.
And then all of a sudden I started feeling all of these girls grabbing my hand
and itwas just this moment of they were kind of comforting me,
and it's a really vulnerable and emotional part of the song,
and I feel it every time I sing it.
So,for them to be holding my hands was really nice.
It made me feel a little better,
and so I just started putting my hand out every night,and,uh,
there's,like...there's something really,really cool for me in that connection.
Like,holding somebody's hand is such a personal thing,and
I really like that part of the show every night.
Back up baby back up
With every breakup,there's that initial jolt of anger
where you want to throw a chair,
but then the reality underneath all that is that you're really,really sad,
and,uh,you always end up kind of kneeling on the floor,
realizing that you just wish
that you could back up the whole scenario and just make it end differently.
Back up baby back up
You said forever and always
Life on the road is sort of like summer camp.
- Amos - Yeah Okay.
Are you wearing my headband again
I'm wearing our headband. We agreed we'd share.
The "Fearless" tour went all over the United States of America.
We went to Canada.
We also toured in Japan and Australia.
We went to the U.K.
We decided to dress for the occasion.
- Yes. - Yes.
This tour has been going on for 15 months,
and that's a long tour.
The band and I find many ways
to entertain ourselves when we're out on the road.
We just get into...just all kinds of trouble.
What are they doing
Taylor Swift has made her debut in London.
Is in London.
We're going to have shrimp on the barbie,
and we're going to do afternoon tea.
We just decided to keep on...keep on looping around the world on this tour...
Try to read that word.
"Inhaltsverzeichnis."
That was perfect
It means table of contents.
Does it really. Fun fact of the day.
And I'm so glad we did.
I have my two best friends on the road with me...Caitlin and liz.
We are absolutely obsessed with each other.
- Did you know that dogs and bees could smell fear - No way.
Oh,and the human head weighs 8 pounds.
You don't think I'm pretty
Why won't you come to the airport
That's normal,right
That's totally normal.
- Yeah. - Oh,yeah.
That'll make him stay.
Even though we can be a little silly on the road,
the girls and I can be a little domestic.
Liz,Caitlin,and I found a kitchen in the arena.
Liz has a guy in her life.
I'm not gonna call him your boyfriend.
He's gonna be my boyfriend eventually.
But it's his birthday today.
And we're gonna wear chef hats and make him a cake.
Oh,my God. Don't look.
Party at home
Oh,honey.
I know. I know my head is small.
I got to bring some style.
- Yum. - Yeah
Thank you so much You can have that.
Ooh,I love cake,I love cake,I love cake,I love cake.
- It's so cute - My God
It's so cute
- Sprinkles -I love sprinkles.
One minute. Hurry. Right now.
Sometimes the girls and I spend a little too much time
in the kitchen goofing around
and have to race to hair and makeup.
- How long before the show - Well,it's almost 8:00.
We have about 35 to 40 minutes.
35 to 40 minutes. I got to start doing my hair right now,actually.
Let me just start while we're walking.
Just got to get the braid out.I got it,I got it.
A lot of people have hair and makeup people on the road with them,
but we like to do it this way.
We don't really know any different.
We've become like sisters.
We share a dressing room,
and every night,we get ready in a row,all three of us.
And we put on our makeup,and we do our hair.
And we talk about boys and life.
You said that your curls looks better than mine.
I didn't say that. You said...I just said that you're a copier.
We know each other so well.
Okay,so I accidentally burned Taylor's arm with my curling iron.
- Accident -It was an accident.
My elbow is still smoking.
Where is is the owie Right there's the owie.
There's nothing.
She's being dramatic.
Uh haha...
What's so funny,liz
- What - He's got a girl with him.
No Who
She's driving the truck.
Sive me that
He let her drive the truck
I'm over it.
This one's called "Picture to Burn."
State the obvious
I didn't get my perfect fantasy
I realize you love yourself
More than you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends
That I'm obsessive and crazy
Thats fine you won't mind if I stay
And by the way
I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak who'sreally bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned
You're just another picture to burn
Theres no time for tears
I'm just sitting here planning my revenge
Theres nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends
And if you come around sayin sorry to me
My daddy's gonna show you how sorry youll be
Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as im concerned
Youre just another picture to burn
And if youre missin me
You better keep it to yourself
Cause comin back around here
Would be bad for your health
Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time
In case you havent heard
I really really hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as im concered
Youre just another picture to burn
Burn burn burn baby burn
Just another picture to burn
Baby burn
I love you so much.
Tomorrow night is the last night of the tour,
and we are headlining a stadium that I...
Oh,my God. And I'm really excited.
I'm out of my mind.
Oh,hi,stadium.
Oh,dude. What are you doing tomorrow night
What are we doing
- How is it going,you guys - Good. How are you
Stadium-licious.
Oh,who-o-a.
Ohhh,oh,oh,oh
Oh,dude.
Knowing that Gillette Stadium was the last night of the tour,
it was such a mixture of emotions,because
I loved this tour so much,
and I put everything into it.
This is certainly a nice place to end the tour.I think this will do.
This makes me really excited and happy.
It's going to be really sad when we wrap this up because
it's so fun,and it's been like the past year of our life every day.
That's a big giant me on that.
We love you
I remember walking out into the Gillette Stadium sound check,
and it was empty,and I kind of lost it.
I was just dancing and running around,frolicking.
I was so happy that I couldn't control it,
and I just kind of acted like I was 6.
I remember looking out at the stadium and thinking and thinking
I can't believe we're playing there.Like,I can't believe we're playing there
and people are going to fill that whole place up.
I can't believe we're playing there,and it's sold out,and we're playing there.
Like,it's just...it's so crazy to me
that we were able to end the tour on such a huge,huge show.
The reality is...we started out in a place,Knoebels Grove,
and Taylor was 11 years old,
and she would start singing,and there was no one in the audience,
and by the time she was finished,there would be 500 people
applauding her,you know,so
when you think about where it started and how much she loves singing
and how much she loves the fans end everbthisg else,
what a way to end the year.
This is it."Fearless" wrapping up.
This has been amazing.
This has been the most wonderful group of people I have ever worked with.
I miss everybody already.
15 months,it's been an incredible journey...
the most rewarding experience.
It's just been awesome.
We sold out. Unbelievable.
And,honestly,when you have that many shows ahead of you,
you think "Whoopee,it's never going to end,
and we live in magic world,
and I honestly felt like this day wouldn't come.
I just don't think there's a better way to go out than a big bang in the north,
and,honestly,it's sad to know that our time is up,
but it holds memories and places
and people in my heart that I'll never forget.
I had no clue ifd be this big.
I had no clue,man. This is amazing.
55,000 people... You can't beat that.
Ooh,it's going to be emotional,It's going to be intense.
It's going to be a little dramatic.
I don't know,man. It's bittersweet.It really is.
The tour coming to a close is like impending graduation.
I never had that. I never
had the countdown to when I was going to go and hear my name called
and throw my cap in the air,.
so I guess this is that for me
Yearbooks.
Yay,yearbooks.
At the last show in the T-party room,we got everybody together
and gave everybody these yearbooks we had designed.
I think the yearbook took everyone by surprise.
This is great.
It really caught them off guard and in a very happy way
just gave them one more thing on that last day to be elated about.
I never actually bought a yearbook in high school
'cause I hated high school so much,
so I'm glad that I have,like,something like this,you know.
Something that I actually appreciate and had a good time doing.
I love it.I'm so glad I have this to look back on.
Awesome. Really cool,and I'll never forget it.
Pretty amazing it's over.
I am glad that we did that because now everybody has
this beautiful book of memories
of what we had all undergone together.
Everybody was,like,getting their yearbook signed,
and it very much felt like the end of the school year.
Hey,guys. This is Justin.
I just wanted to say it's an honor to be performing with Taylor.
It's definitely an amazing experience.
She's a great person. She's really funny,great to hang out with,
and I'm just really honored to be here.
So,thank you so much. And we'll see you guys soon.
At the last huddle before we went onstage,
I just told them how much I loved them
and how I was so happy to have gone through this with them
and that that group of people will be with me forever.
Emotions are running high to the point where
we feel a million different things per minute
because this is the last time that we're going to stand here in a circle like this.
Trust is not something that
comes easily by me,but I want you to know that I trust you,
and that's something that,because we've shared this experience together,
will always be true.
We've done this as this band of brothers,
just band of thieves
who somehow got a chance to stand on the biggest stages
in front of the biggest crowds,and we sold out that stadium.
We did that.
And I will always love you,and I will always trust you.
This is love,
and this is the one true love that I have ever had in my entire life.
Let's go out there and be...
FearlessAnd...
Never forget the essence of your spark
We want Taylor
I'm gonna cry.
Don't cry
Don't cry,I love you.
the definition of fearless for me is following your gut,
listening to your heart.
My definition of fearless has to be my belief in Christ.
I want to thank the fans.
I would like to thank all the fans on Twitter and MySpace.
I want to thank the fans.
Well,hello,Foxborough,Massachusetts
Welcome to the very last show of the "Fearless" tour.
I have never in my life seen anything like this
So,thank you,thank you for hanging out with me.
I think that Taylor's journey
has been one of complete surprises surprised that it worked...
Surprised that people could relate to such personal songs,
that people would wrap their arms around her and
just be the most incredible fans that they could be.
It's the first kiss it's flawless really something
It's fearless
Every single night I get to go out there and sing songs
that I've written to girls who are just like me,
and they're singing the words right back,
and seeing that emotion come from them,seeing people crying
and people having the time of their lives is really so incredible to me.
This is a song that I wrote about a guy
who about a guy who made the choice to cheat on me
and probably shouldn't have because I write songs.
Should've said no
It's strange to think the songs we used to sing
The smiles the flowers everything is gone
Yesterday I found out about you
Even now just looking at you feels wrong
You say that you'd take it all back given one chance
It was a moment of weakness
And you said yes
You should've said no you should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've known that the word about what you did with her
Get back to me (get back to me)
And I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no baby and you might still have me
You can see that I've been crying
And baby you know all the right things to say
But do you honestly expect me to believe
We could ever be the same
You say that the past is the past
You need one chance
It was a moment of weakness
And you said yes
You should've said no you should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've known that the word about what you did with her
Get back to me (get back to me)
And I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no baby and you might still have me
Ohh...You should've said no baby
Ohh...now everybody knows
Ohh...You should've said no baby
Ohh...now everybody knows
I can't resist before you go
Tell me this was it worth it
Was she worth this
Nooo no noooo ...
You should've said no you should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've known that the word about what you did with her
Get back to me (get back to me)
And I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no baby and you might still have me
It was so good.
Oh,I'm so proud of you,honey.
We just played the most exhilarating show to a crowd of,like,55,000 people.
It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
I can't believe it happened,
and I can't believe we get to end the tour on that note.
The band and I can't stop crying.
Everybody's emotional.
It's like the end of this beautiful,amazing era.I'm so happy that
tonight went down the way tonight went down.
This tour ending is very symbolic of more than just a tour ending.
It's sort of like the entire "Fearless" era of my life is ending,
which is interesting because it's been a long time being on this particular project.
I started writing it when I was 16,
and then you know,was touring on the first record at the same time
and put the album out when I was 18.
It really started to pick up,
when I was 19
so it's been a beautiful,beautiful time
with the word "Fearless" being at the forefront of my life and my career.
That project and that album has really
gone further than I ever imagined it could
When I finished the tour,I flew
right back to Nashville
and was in the studio 24-7,basically.
Video of the Year.
The next album Speak Now
is about my life from 18 to 20,and a lot happened from 18 to 20.
and a lot happened from 18 to 20.
She has truly put blood,sweat,and tears into this album.
Her music grows with her.
She's kind of like a timeline.
You're really going to be able to
just get to know Taylor on a more personal level.
You may have thought that's impossible
considering everything she shared with us so far,but it gets better.
She is happier than I have ever seen her.
She's happy with who she is and the music that she has written,
and,most importantly,She's just happy with her life.
I'm really excited about the next thing
because the next thing is something I'm really proud of already.
I can't wait to create those lyrics on the stage.
I can't wait to turn those songs into music videos.
I can't wait to see those lyrics painted on people's faces.
It's going to be really,really fun.
That's my name they're saying
One two
Welcome to Taylor Swift's journey to fearless
You belong with me
This is a story of a little girl who dare to dream big
From her earliest performances
Twinkle twinkle little star
And we do mean early
To her first big break
That was my first huge crowd experience
Then I was addicted
And the challenges along the way
And I went through periods of time where I didn't have friends
That was tough as a mom
to hear the shunning
She didn't know it then
but even as a kid Taylor Swift was fearless
Hi I'm Taylor I'm 11
I want a record deal,give me a call,that will be awesome
We'll show you everything that went into make fearless happen
And share with you the inspiration behind some of our favorite songs
It was s song about breakup
that I had to really address
Come on to the road with Taylor for her first head leading tour
Spend the next three nights
backstage onstage and around the world
For Taylor Swift's journey to fearless
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
You're on the phone with your girlfriend,she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
'Cuz she doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm in the room it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do
But she wears short skirts
I wear T-shirts
She's cheer captain
And I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up
And find what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
Walkin' the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench,thinking to myself
Hey isn't this easy
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine
I know you better then that
Hey whatcha doing with a girl like that
She wears high heels
I wear sneakers.
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know
Baby
You belong with me
I remember you drivin'to my house
In the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're about to cry
And I know your favorite songs
And you tell me about your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with me
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you see
you belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time
How could you not know
Baby
you belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
you belong with me
Twinkle twinkle little star
I think my first memory of loving music happened so early
We would always go to beach in the summer
And I would run from blanket to blanket from family to family and just sing
Yeah Taylor
I got my first guitar when I was 8 or 9 years old
I wouldn't motivate myself to learn
because my fingers were too small
I always had the guitar around
and had it in the corner
And when I was about 12
There's this magical twist of fate
A guy who my parents hired to come fix my computer
I'm doing my homework
And he looks over and sees the guitar in the corner
and he was like do you play guitar
I said Oh no I tried but I no
He said do you want me to teach you a few chords
I was just yeah yes
That was that I was just relentless about playing all the time
Who knows what goes through his mind
I was songwriting for all of my free time after that,
Who's my saying
Who's that guy who plays the mandolin
I think the first full song that I ever wrote was called lucky you
And it was about the girl who dares to be different
At that time that was,,sort of,you know,describing herself
I got teased a lot,got made fun of a lot
and I went through periods of time when I didn't have friends
Because all the other girls were going sleepovers
or playing soccer
And Taylor wanted to sing on the stage
that was a little bit different
Oh,say does that star-spangled banner yet wave...
And I stood there in the middle of the giant basketball arena
with my little sparky American flag shirt
and my white pants and my red headband
I was very patriotic looking
I don't think I'd ever been that nervous in my life
Once again Taylor Swift
They would do a write in the local paper
causing a not so fond day for me next day at school
My worst time of the day was
when I wnet to go pick up Taylor at school
And I would know that things may hadn't been so great that day at school
So I know I was gonna hear whatever happened
And so that was tough as a mom to hear the ostracizing
that went through the literally this shunning that would take place at school
where she would sit down at a table with her lunch tray and
Everyone would move
As a parent...
there's...there's nothing more painful than hearing that your child is in pain
You'll take any bullet for them
but you realize that this is also something that they have to go through
So that's when I got in my mind
there was this magical place called Nashville where dreams came true
and Faith Hill was discovered
And I thought to myself Nashville well I've gotta go there
I begged my parents for I think a solid year
Please can we take a trip to Nashville
Just nonstop
I wanna go to Nashville
Relentlessly
It was all she talks about
so on spring break we went to Nashville to check it out
Everyone you meet in Nashville has the same dream
and a lot of them wanted to be what I wanted to be
which was an artist
And be on stage with a lot of people
Taylor would say that's mercury records
pull over
You know I would need to run my demo CD
I get off and run up to the door
hi im taylor I'm11
I want a record deal
If you give me a call and it's gonna be awesome
I knew I have to figure out someway that would be different
Someway to get better
And have more to offer
Music was something that
was so necessary for me to be happy
I would play for hours and hours
Until my fingers were bleeding
She never put it down
She wouldn't put it down
We'd have literally say to her
Put the guitar down come to dinner and go right back to play
But it became a matter of forcing her to put it down at that point
I just fell in love with it
Seeing someone I don't know
First let me tell you that you're tying me to
The side of a wall,side of a wall
Spin me around and baby all I see is you...
We decide to live in Nashville when taylor
actually get an offer to the development deal
At that point we knew we were just proud parents
And that maybe we should put her in the area
where she could make the most of it
When I was 13
I went to a meeting with RCA
They gave me a development deal
Which is basically like we believe in you kind of
We're gonna watch you
It's not like you're making an album now
Taylor and I would go in there sometimes once a week
With new songs that she had written
They would look at us and say well
It's got a little closer
They weren't saying
Yes that's a great song
Let's put it on a record
At the end of the year
They had a chance to either sign me
Or watch me for another year without commitment
They looked at us and say you know what
We're not ready to offer a record deal
I did something that you don't usually do in Nashville
When you have an in with the record vival I walked away
Because I had a feeling that I was not going to be able to record my own music
that I've written
There's panic strike like
This is a major record label
You don't get that everyday
Are you sure you want to walk away from this
Then she said absolutely
I had this showcase at the bluebird caf¨¦
Ironically that's the place
They got Faith Hill discovered
And I played my guitar sang a bunch of songs that I've written
There was one guy in the audience named Scott Borchetta
He came up to me after the show
And said I want you be my record label
And I want you to write all your own music
And I was so excited
And I get a call from him later that week,and he goes,
Hey,so,good news is I want you on my record label.
Bad news is I don't actually have a record label yet
He explained to me that
He doesn't have a building
He doesn't have a name for it
He just has this dream that he wants to do it
So he says will you please just wait for me
And for some reason
I was willing to wait for that
Because she believed in the person who was gonna be her record label
And he really believed in her
I knew that if I could be a part of building something from the ground up
And being the first artist on the brand new record label
That would be okay with me,as long as I could do something
really adventurous and bold and new
So I signed my record deal with Scott Borchetta
And I was making an album full of songs that I've written by myself
This little red thing
This red guy is the best windscreen you got
So "pop" they don't hear that
It's awesome
There was no enclosurnation that this is gonna work out
But we really believed in it
Putting out my first single
was just such a cool experience
I just don't know it was gonna happen
I remember putting the psychical CD singles into envelopes
to mail out to radio with my mom
I got to go on radio tour
And you hear tour you think tour bus
No rental car
Tourist me
In the backseat
- Hi,baby - How's it going
How are you
I'm doing wonderful. I brought you cookies.
Sure did look at that
Going from radio station to radio station to radio station
And everytime I go to a new radio station
I would play in the conference room for a couple of DJs
And I would like beg them to put on the air
And it worked
My album sold 39000 in the first week
And then overtime it start to sell like this
Then something really crazy start to happen
I was opening up for every single country headliner imaginable
I was opening up for Brad Paisley George Straight
Kenny Chesney
Tim Mcgraw
People I had always wanted to open shows for
I was a nervous rack
I rehearsed nonstop over and over again
I loved it
Those were some of my favourite times
For this song I would love it
If you have your cell phones and glow sticks
Or anything sparkly that you might have
Hold them up for me
And I would love if you would sing along this song
Because this was the first song you ever heard from me
You said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said that's a lie
Just a boy in a Chevy truck
That had a tendency of getting stuck
On backroads at night
And I was right there beside him
All summer long
And then the time we woke up to Find that summer'd gone
But when you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
September saw a month of tears
And thanking God that you weren't here
To see me like that
But in a box beneath my bed
Is a letter that you never read
From three summers back
It's hard not to find it all a little bitter sweet
And looking back on all of that It's nice to believe
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think,that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
It was such a cool energy working through that crowd
People were crying
And I love excitable people
So it was one of my favorite things
I hugged a lot of people
over the courses of that song
I showed love to the little kids I know they're for their first concert
It was really important for me to go out there
and actually say hi to people and thank them for coming
and be right there next to them
because I'm always wanna go the extra miles for them
because I can't believe
the extra thousand miles they're gone for me
That's one of my favorite things every single mile
And I'm back for the first time since then
I'm standing on your street
And there's a letter left on your doorstep
And the first thing that you'll read
Is when you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
Turn your stand radio on
I hope it takes you back to that place
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
Oh,think of me
Whoo-o-o-o-o
You said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said that's a lie
I absolutely I just loved school
And I;m so glad that I've got to go highschool
All the kids were so nice
I wasn't weird for the first time
They didn't really think much of it
That I wanted to be a singer
On the first of ninth grade
Walking into highschool
First class I went to I sat next to this girl she had red hair
And we became friends immediately
Just because I think we were both most cynical people in English class
We just kind of understood each other
We were happy about the same things
We have the same goals
We really hit it off
She became the person that I would play all my songs for
After I've written them
I truly truly appreciate those moments
Someone wish to play something new for me
That'a my favorite time to witness her
Doing what she loves
That's when she was just raw
I would go over to her house
We would sit in her room and I just play it for her
She was like a huge cheerleader
I will compliment her on end and she was like so shocked
She'll just look at me and be like,
Really thank you. Thank you somuch.
She is just so grateful
I wanted to write a song about both of us went through
Abigail and I were15
We were freshman in highschool
And you know you're just navigating in this huge world
Being 15 16 those are some of the hardest year as a girl
I mean that's when you are developing
And trying to figure out who you are. You are...
the tiniest little mino in this huge ocean that is highschool
And you learn lessons
and you learn lot of them in a hard way
You take a deep breath
And you walk through the doors
It's the morning of your very first day
You say hi to your friends you ain't seen in a while
Try and stay out of everybodys' way
It's your freshman year and you're gonna be here
For the next four years in this town
Hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say
You know I haven't seen you around
Before
Cause when you're fifteen
Somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen
Feeling like there're nothing to figure out
Well count to ten,take it in
This is life before who you're gonna be fifteen
You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail
And soon enough you're best friends
Laughing at the other girls who thinks they're so cool
We will be out of here as soon as we can
I remembered when I played Abigail the song for the first time
Which was just the guitar vocal
She was just blown away
I couldn't believe it
And it was very touching
And it still is so to say
...Flying
Your mama's waiting up
And you're thinking that he's the one
And you dance around your room when the night ends
When the night ends
Cause when you're fifteen
That's very personal story of hers
that gets told in that song
It's really raw and real
Everybody asked me
Does that make you uncomfortable
Not in the least
Because looking around in the audience
And seeing people relating to the song
That's how I asked for
Makes your head spin round
But in your life
You'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team
I didn't know it at fifteen
When all you wanted is to be wanted
Wish you could go back
And tell yourself what you know now
Back then I swore
I was gonna marry him someday
But I realize some bigger dreams of mine
And Abigail gave everything she had to a boy
Who changed his mind and we both cried
I'm honored that she would wanna talk about me
And something I've experienced
Write about it and put it into a song
Share with millions of people
It was one of my favorite things about that song is that
She was so proud
That maybe her story can help other girls
To make the right decisions
...To look before you fall
You know like the song says
Just look before you fall
I've found that time can heal most anything
And you just might find who you're supposed to be
I didn't know who I was supposed to be
At fifteen
Your very first day
You take a deep breath girl
Take a deep breath
As you walk through the doors
A lot of songs in my first record
Have little hints of highschool inspiration
I have this song You belong with me
Which is about you know
feeling inferior to the cool girls of the school
Because she's a cheerleader
and she's awesome and you're just like...
"Hey," you know I mean for me like
I think that I learned so much that just sitting there
And feeling everything
In highschool
And emm Teardrops on my guitar
Was is a complete confession that you're in love with someone
Once upon a time
There was this guy
And I was like talking about this guy in school
Let's just write the name into the song
And this guy
Used to sit next to me in class
I started naming people in my songs
when I started to you know have big crushes on people
Feels like you need to walk up to him right now
Tell him how you feel
Who you are
Okay confession
I had the biggest crush on this guy
And well he didn't even know I existed
But everyday just like clockwork
This guy would come into class
And everyday just like clockwork
This guy would sit down next to me
And sometimes he would even talk to me
About his girlfriend
So I never told this guy
That I liked him
But I did write a song about him
So I think he knows now
Drew looks at me
With Drew
Everybody know who that was about
He won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without
I couldn't believe it
This was the first time I had ever seen her go
this personal with the song
I laugh cause it's just so funny
I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love he's finally got it right
I wonder if he knews he's all I think about at night
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do
Drew walks by me
Can he tell that I can't breathe
And there he goes so perfectly
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She better hold him tight
Give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes
And know she's lucky cause
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do
With drew
He actually showed up in my driveway like in a year and half later
I don'tknow
Sometimes it gets awkward
Yeah that was really awkward
I think she was shocked
We were like wow
Who'd thought that was gonna happen
So I drive home alone
As I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down
And maybe get some sleep tonight
'Cuz he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do
He's the time taken up but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into
Drew looks at me I fake a smile so he won't see
We had CMA rehearsals earlier today
And now I'm getting on a plane to get to new york
For one night
And all for tomorrow
When you are releasing a new album
You just go nuts
Cause your schedule you just go crazy
Craziest week of my life
When it was time for the Fearless album be released
We both looked at each other
And realized that she was just living her dream
Taylor Swift
Oh my god
O you made my day
Yes today was crazy like
We literally woke up at 4:45
And then got hair and makeup
For goodmorning America
And went to goodmorning America
Sound check did all the performances for this do the interview for that
And then left and went to MTV
I did like all these news and interviews and stuff
Hey Trisha. I love you and I just want to say happy birthday
And then went to WPLJ
Taylor Swift
Thank you so much for coming you guys this is awesome
My new album fearless is out today
And I'm so excited
And after that
We went to David Letterman
And that's my first time that I've ever played there
It was really cool
I was so excited about Letterman
It was such a fun show
It was fun playing fearless at cool stick
Now I'm on a plane and I'm about to go home
And I'm gonna go buy my CD
At midnight

And I'm really excited
And there were a bunch of people there
And we all just felt so excited
Thank you so much
Thank you for coming
Thank you so much
They were all buying album

It was a really fun experience
It's like won't forget it
I love you so much
Thank you for being here
From you Buying my second CD first
Midnight I love you
Now I finally
I am not doing anything anymore
I'm on a plane
This day is over
And it has been the longest day ever
When the fearless album came out
It sold 596000 in the first week
And I was really happy about that
Considering the first record
I was like freaking out about selling 39000 the first week
Selling 596000 in the first week was
Quite an improvement
One two
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
The other on my heart
I look around turn the radio down
He says baby is something wrong
I say nothing I was just thinking how we don't have a song
And he says
Our song is the slamming screen door
Sneakin' out late apping on your window
When you're on the phone and you talk real slow
Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date "man I didn't kiss her,but I should have"
And when I got home ... before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
I was walking up the front porch steps after everything the day
Had gone all wrong or been trampled on
And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway,well on my way to my lovin' bed
I almost didn't notice all the roses
And the note that said...
Cause our song is the slamming screen door
Sneaking out late,tapping on his window
When we're on the phone and he talks real slow
Cause it's late and his mama don't know
Our song is the way he laughs
The first date "man I didn't kiss him,and I could have"
And when I got home ... before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
I've heard every album listened to the radio
Waited for something to come along
That was as good as our song
Cause our song is the slamming screen door
Sneaking out late,tapping on his window
When we're on the phone and he talks real slow
Cause it's late and his mama don't know
Our song is the way he laughs
The first date "man I didn't kiss him,and I could have"
And when I got home ... before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
Play it again
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
And I... wrote down our song
Welcome to Taylor Swift's Journey to Fearless
But can you feel this magic in the air
It must have been the way you kissed me
I could never have imagined how those 13 songs have changed my life
today was a fairytale
Taylor's drive in determination pays off
is Fearless becomes the top selling album 2 years traight
Wow. Who saw that was gonna happen.
Well,people asked me like when did you know,
you know,that she had made it.
2009 was a pretty good start.
Kenny Chesney,Brad Paisley,
George Strait
and Taylor Swift...
And I said Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
It was a good year.
I'll be the princess
It's a love story,baby,just say yes
And then,one Grammy for album of the year,when I was 20.
Watch as Taylor Swift transforms her Fearless album
into her first headlining tour.
This comes out during Love Story and it's gonna be projective work.
This looks like castle.
Welcome to the Fearless Tour 2010.
She was the youngest person ever to win a Grammy for album of the year.
Building the dream as Taylor takes on her journey to fearless.
I can't help myself
Today was a fairytale you were the prince
I used to be a damsel in distress
You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale I wore a dress
You wore a dark grey t-shirt
You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess
Today was a fairytale
Time slows down whenever you're around
The fearless tour was inspired by lots of different elements
that I 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 want to bring together and put on that stage.
I have been dreaming during my first headlining tour.
I think since I was 4 years old,
the stage to the fearless tour is something
that I spent a lot of time designing with Johnson Smith,my stage designer.
I want 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 for the first time felt
kinda like being dropped off on the first day of school.
So excited.
I was...in nervous rack.
- Nobody's seen anything,- right
No. Just employees.
I have always wanted to put together a showed
that incorporated theater and story telling,
and the song writing,
what I saw in my head when I was writing these songs.
Actually you are nervous,is it
I haven't been bothered less to myself.
We've already did the best we could.
Ok. Let's see take a view of it. Let's find.
It's like what...It's fine. It's good.
I walked inside.
What that 's huge. This is giant.
And it was glorious.
That's what we need.
That is so rockin'
When Taylor first laid eyes on that stage for the first time,
it was like opening a present at Christmas morning.
A big present she's ever had.
Oh my god. This is great.
- this will do lift work - Yeah
You did Do you guys also do a lift
It's so Christine sparkling white stage,
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 with this look like castle.
And so we've been able to turn this whole thing into a story.
- Yeah,I like it. - Me,too.
All right. It's good.
- Happy - Yeah.
I don't think I've ever expected I would be on a big stage.
like this when I started it out.
This is ...pretty giant.
I could fall off from this and die,which is awesome.
like we see,put your hands in the air.
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
But 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
But 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 fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
Oh...Oh...
Yeah
Hey,yeah
Today was a fairytale
and now,I would like to take you back in time.
I wanted the dancers on the 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.
Hey guys
I'm really excited.Today we audition the dancers.
We decided we want 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
Please bring everybody line up over here.
Let's put the guys over here.
There were 3 days of audition for the dancer.
First thing we were doing is the choreography from the love story,
the music video,that would be the first thing we do.
Right now we gotta go and check out the dancers.
They are the callbacks. They've already picked 6,3 guys and 3 girls.
I'm really excited.
Like really think about that.
This is no country art. This is huge. This is really big.
That she's bringing a dancer on tour.
Taylor's pushing the envelope here.
Like big time pushing the envelope. I think that's amazing.
You're going to check a cross from each other.
Touching each other's wrists.
Walk walk triple step. Walk walk triple step.
They're these whole things.
Go. Super easy. That's the timing.
Quick quick slow. Quick quick slow. Quick quick slow.
Hey.
I'm Taylor. Nice to meet you.
Come on. It's for you.
So when are we going to get started.So we get everybody back there.
Ready Act
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting,all there'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
I want 23 and 27
Cool. Everybody else step outside.
Auditioning the dancers,we all just have a kind of vibe,
about a few of them,right of the back.
We're about to bring the dancers and they
didn't know that they've got the job.
And they just think they are gonna get callback.
So we're gonna just kinda walk them on this tour for the summer..
I'm excited.
I just want to say welcome to the tour. Thank you so much for the coming.
Oh my gosh. Really
One more step it's over
I...I'm...Yeah
I'm soooo excited.
Hang on. Wait a second ma. So I want her to talk to you. Here you go.
Hey.
I just want to say hi. I'm Taylor. I'm taking your son on tour this summer.
I'm officially on tour with Taylor Swift.
Were the dancers ready,it was time for the fearless rehearsals to begin.
Rehearsing for the fearless tour took about a month.
Rehearsals are really important
because you're working on blocking,wardrobe audio.
It's kinda like a tour boot camp.
When I went like that,like white coming felling from the ceiling,
like,the treatment to the song is like a marrying wrong guy.
You guys wanna do this
During the rehearsal,you really get a chance to iron up all kinks.
Like for example,this small machine,sort of like an volcanic eruption up here.
And I messed up the piano in a gorgeous heinous way.
So...
There's nothing better than watching hard works pay off.
Ryan,that was so perfect. You need to look at your guitar at once.
- All right. - 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 got those people touring with you,
setting up catering,driving trucks,driving buses.
The band,the dancers,the cruise.
Everybody who builds up the stage.
Puts up the carpenters wardrobe The people on the production office.
People who were with the promotion company.
It's a big conjunction
And finally the moment we were all waiting for.
Stepping on stage in front of all of you.
My amazing fans.
Before the opening night,in 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 I could remember every thing.
It's a 2-hour production.
So making sure that you remember everything is key.
we were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air
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 there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be this 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 they knew
So close your eyes,escape this town for a little while
'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 there'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 try to tell me how it feels
This might be stupid boy,but its so real
Don't be afraid now we'll get out of this mess
It's a love story
Baby,just say yes
I got tired of waiting wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is better
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said
Romeo save me ive 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 fell to the ground and pulled out a ring
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 you'll pick out a white dress
It's a love story
Baby,just say yes
Cause we were both young when I first saw you
Every night,we do a cross arena track.
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.
There're like a lot of super fans who know that we do it.
They don't know where we're gonna end up.
But they like scouring the entire concourse for us.
We make the walk every night,
through the back tunnel of the passage ways of the arena.
up elevators,up staircases into sweet.
We hided at snack bars.
And it's really funny. Cause a lot of time,
there'll be like a group of people waiting for us.
Kinda bring the show right there to them.
Like 6 inches from them.
So it's really a fun moment.
We popped out. It's really really cool.
The reaction is just utter surprise.
And there's a moment where like all walk out.
And one person will notice it that scream,
and scream all the night everywhere. And it's really cool.
Hey stephen,I know looks can be deceiving
But I know I saw a light in you
As we walked we were talking
And 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 believing
That I don't always have to be alone.
Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help I if I wanna kiss you in te rain so
Come feel this magic ive been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
I can't help myself
ladies and gentlemen please give it up
for Al Watson on the drums
and Amos Heller on the bass
and then I hand off my guitar to Devan
and I walk down the aisles
and I uh
I just really like to hug people
I think going out into the crowd for Taylor
is what she needs to do
during a show that feel that connection with her audience
it's hard for her to just stand on the the stage
it's just really fun because like
there all these little kids
and they're all these cute guys
and they're all these girls they're just like me
I don't know I love these people so much
and getting to go out there
and tell them that like look me in the eye
tell them that or give my bracelets stuff
It's just really fun it's my favorite part in that
I think that she looks at them
and see these looks on their faces
and she has to get closer
a lot of guys look like football players
who would not necessarily have thought fearless
but they know all the words
and that makes me so happy
listening to them like sing
like "she wore short skirts I wore T-shirts"
like "I love that"
there is a B stage at the end of the arena
so part of the show
the best seat in the house
are what used I think the worthiest in the house
Hah switch your rule
see we get there
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
Shine shine shine
Hey Stephen I could give you fifty reason
Why I should be the one you choose
All those other girls well they're beautiful
But would they write a song for you
'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help I 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
I can't help myself
If you look like an angel
Can't help I 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
I can't help myself
Can't help myself
I can't help myself
when I was making my way to the back of the arena
I wanna there'd be something for the crowd to watch
so that they wouldn't be just like sitting there in silence
I wanna there to be some sort of funny little video
tonight we exam a crime unlike any I've seen in my entire career
so we create this video called "crimes&passion"
it's a crime show a spoof crime show
about all of the guys I've ever in songs about complaining
about how their lives have been changed by me writing songs about them
you know I walk down the street
hear people say "Drew walks by me"
I try to start conversation with someone
"Drew talks to me"
do you see what I am saying
some of the people were actually
the actual guys inspire the songs
yeah you know people forget
that I was actually the very first victim of the Taylor Swift's song
now everywhere I go
it's like everybody knows my name
it's sort of like I've been plugged from security
and I was very proud of that piece
happy birthday Taylor
thank you
it's a toaster
yeah look there're something that I've never asked you before
what's up
how do you spell Neal
is it within an "A" or within an "I"
it's "Neal"
great you know what's really cool
- what - how many words rhyme with Neal
every night the crowd gives me so much
and I wanna give them something back
this tour was put together because what the fans have done for me
in last couple of years
I love you Taylor you're the best
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 have a reward for the craziest fans
if they were just insane and crazy
and had like costumes on and signs
if they were just have a great time
and dancing like freaking' out during 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
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
tell them that they are committed the T-party
after the show to meet Taylor
and that is usually when you hear shrieks in the audience
to fear ever hear that high pitch scream
when you at fearlessconcert
most likely somebody just got T-party passes
oh my god thank you
we're in taylor swift's T-party
pizzas
I wanted them th have a place to sit down eat feel comfortable
have something to drink play pingpong watch TV
do whatever they wanted to
because they've made a lot of this possible for me
so that's way you see lots of fans were signed
say "brings 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 goes to the T-party
esp expecting that they gonna get picked
alright everybody are you ready to see Taylor
Taylor Taylor
I can't believe that she's just right there
yeah I looked you in there
you just look like no I live in the small town
oh my god ...it's taylor
are you boyfreind and girlfriend
that's awesome
I've been waiting four month
oh my god
hello hey you guys nice to meet you
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 thought so grateful to have on my side
the T-party gives me an opportunity to say that to them
give them a hug
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 had been with me for about three years now
which is just something I'm very proud of
because the musical industry you have
people just switch out players every two seconds
but we have a family
the band they're my best friends
Let's see...
Al Watson is an absolute love-in-marvelous individual
Paul Sidoti is the juice box
A guy that knows about everything that is to know about music
Grand Michelson is the supermodel
He pulls off looks and clothes
that no one else in the world that I know can
Mike medals is the killer they keeps us all steady
Liz Hewitt is the goofy little sister with the voice of an angel
Kaitlin Evanston is an absolute rock star
A relentless stream of energy on the stage
And then there's me
I'm pretty cool
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 years four years that I've known them
has just been unbelievable
I just couldn't live without them
They are my favorite people in the world
I've just wanted to make everybody feel like they're part of the family
She goes out of the way to make you feel a part of her life
Happy birthday paul
Thank you love it
The One thing that everyone know about paul is that he's obsessed with KISS
Absolutely
Someone wants to talk to you
I think his name is gene
Hello hello
Hey how are you doing
Oh my god
We're pretty cohesive unit
And it's inspiring to be around and to be on stage with
It's a family you know it's great place to be
And I'm more nervous walking around during the day
than I'm right before I go on stage with them
I had no idea that I was gonna become
part of such a wonderful,loving family.
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
That's what magic is you feel grow up on stage every night
She loves her fans she loves her best friends we're a family
And I think she kinda 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 on stage
We pick someone to give a speech before we go on stage
And then after we put our hands in
and we say now let's go on there and be fearless
let's go on there and be fearless
sharing this experience with them
unforgettable
I took a chance,I took a shot
And you might think I'm bulletproof,but I'm not
You took a swing,I took it hard
And down here from the ground I see who you are
I'm sick and tired of your attitude
I'm feeling like I don't know you
You tell me that you love me then you cut me down
And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak
Makes me run for cover when you're around
And 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
You could write a book on
How to ruin someone's perfect day
Well I get so confused and frustrated
Forget what I'm trying to say,oh
I'm sick and tired of your reasons
I got no one to believe in
You tell me that you want me,then push me around
And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak
Makes me run for cover when you're 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..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
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
I take a step back,let you go
I told you I'm not bulletproof
Now you know
you look beautiful today miss Taylor
thank you
you're very welcome
I'm five years old
It's getting cold I've got a big coat on
I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you
And 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
On the fearless tour backstage they refer to me as mama swift
I don't how it would be I'm trying not to be a prevent here
But if I'm the mom of a ten-years-old girl in the audience
There were just a couple of moves that I would be like
- You're right - Do not looking at that
My mom has come out to the road with us
And she's always around
Oh I was so proud at you honey
I feel very lucky to be out on the fearless tour
Because I have a 20-year old daughter
And a lot 20year olds are not necessarily wanna
hang with their moms all the time
although I'm pretty lucky because mine apparent does
sometimes you know there's not much to do
so you'll just get a golf cart and like
we learned early on the whole touring experience when I was 15
and started doing radio tour
we learned how to deal with each other on the road
my mom is all in charge of
just basically greeting people and making people feel welcomed
- yeah welcome to the tour - thank you
she would find a group of 25 to 30 people take them on a backstage tour
and give them sort of the mama swift version of the way the tour works
well we were promised to backstage tour
this is as far as the back stage it get
casue this is taylor's stage and you're in back of it
I know you're not scared at anything at all
First we're gonna look at are these big big massive trucks
Mama swift's backstage tour
That covers our truck shall we see something else now
You know I don't even begin to understand how this happen
But I do love it
And we had 72 costume changes
Also other jobs that she has it here
it's very important that she draws 13 on my hand every night
13's my lucky number so
My mom's always been very logical very practical
And I think that's why I've always been that way
I wish you could have seen this because you see people's face
When the saw the water come down
They are like what
Like oh no she didn't
- I know what they're saying - Just like that
I was like four inches behind
My dad the one who was like I had this crazy idea
Or you know he's the daydreamer
The one who's always like walking around the shows
With a bag of taylor swift's guitar picks in his pocket
And hands them out to fans
- Would you like a pick - I think...
This is what I do I give away picks to people
My parents I just looked out
I'm gonna go sneak up on my dad in the store
You know to have two people who really believed in me
I'm sorry hiahiahia
You guys weird
It's just I'm so lucky
to have parents that actually took that trip with me
That incredible impossible journey
This is a backstage pass from 2007
Thers's lots of memories on them 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
uh...like you would've imagined
A teenage girl going on the road with her mom all the time
We have little disagreements once in a while
But most of the time we get along really really well
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
Bith you today
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 fight in and get advice from
or just talk to and just hang around and just be herself with
she never has to question that
my mom's sitting right there
she sits on the board 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 I everything's okay
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 what they're giving her
I had the best day
With you today
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 sound board and
I surprised her with it and she cried and cried
And it was really fun to sing that song to her
I do allow myself have a little micro seconds of
stepping back and looking at it from the outside in
and that is when I lost it completely
You set up a paint set in the kitchen
And you're talking to me
there are times that I look at this young woman
and everything she has accomplished and where she is
and yet I still see that little girl in the car seat
with those big blue eyes in my rear view mirror
say that's my baby and I'm proud
Staying back and watching me shine
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
Welcome to Taylor Swift's "Journey to Fearless."
I just got the news that my tour sold out Madison Square Garden
in one minute.One.
Yes
One,two
Join Taylor as she travels the globe with her sold-out "Fearless" tour.
The "Fearless" tour has been one of the most incredible experiences of my life.
Never forget the essence of your spark
And guess who she found on one of her stops.
Hey,guys. This is Justin.
Join Justin Bieber and thousands of fans
as Taylor Nation takes over the "Fearless" grand finale.
That arena sold out in two minutes.
What
Just another picture to burn
The excitement builds for Taylor Swift's "Journey to Fearless."
I was so happy that we waited for the right time in my career
where we could put together this tour that was visual,
and we had costumes and dancers and people acting out parts,
and it just incorporated such a theatrical element to that tour,
and it had so much heart,and that's what I'm the most proud of.
You should've said no
You should've gone home
I was hoping that the tour would be successful
but I had no idea that the fans' response would be so amazing.
Get back to me
I should've been there
Oklahoma City
I really really hate that stupid old pickup truck
you never let me drive
The "Fearless" tour turned out to be
so much bigger than I ever could have imagined it...
completely rewarding and just overwhelming.
Backup Baby back up
It's really,really a wonderful thing
to know that every night that we walked onstage this tour,it sold out.
Like,that's the coolest thing in the world.
Everything
We want Taylor
That's my name they're saying
Just another picture to burn
This is the feeling that you dream of having.
Makes everything worthwhile.
Makes every early morning worthwhile.
It makes everything just make sense.
It's just a dream come true.
That's just something you fantasize and dream about.
That's not something that really happens,is it
I write a lot of songs about love,
and I think that's because to me
love seems like this huge,complicated thing,
but it seems like every once in a while,two people get it figured out.
Two people get it right.
And so I think the rest of us,
we walk around daydreaming about what that might be like...
to find that one great love
where all of a sudden everything that used to seem so complicated became simple,
and everything that used to seem wrong all of a sudden seemed right
because you were with the person who made you feel fearless
There's something about the way
The street looks when it's just rained
There's a glow off the pavement
You walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot yeah
We're drivin' down the road
I wonder if you know
I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool
Run your hands through your hair
Absent mindedly makin' me want you
And I don't know how it gets better than this
Uou take my hand and drag me head first fearless
And I don't know why but with you I dance
In a storm in my best dress fearless
So baby drive slow
'til we run out of road in this one horse town
I wanna stay right here in this passenger's sea
You put your eyes on me
Houston Texas now Capture it remember it
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress fearless
Well you stood there with me in the doorway
My hands shake I'm not usually this way but
You pull me in I'm a little more brave
It's the first kiss it's flawless really somethin'
It's fearless
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress fearless
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress fearless
When you write a song about something that you went through,
and you put details in the song like the person's name who it's about
or when it happened or exactly how you saw it and how you experienced it
putting those songs out is sort of a risk.
I think she is this lyrical and expressive person
who has to translate all of her life experiences into rhyme and into music.
The way to keep her happiest was to sit her down
and give her a pen and a journal,and she was happy.
To go out on tour and put those songs to life
and take the lyrics and portray them on a stage,
that's really a very personal thing to do.
I think the reason that people connect to Taylor
is because she is unafraid to put her life out there,
and I think people resonate to that kind of bravery.
And I loved your sign last night. It was so cool.
Thank you.
She has a really unique gift of songwriting.
She sings about everyday things so well,
and she uses it in such a positive way.
I really,really admire that.
I love you,Taylor. You're the best.
- We love you. - You're the best.We love you,Taylor.
I'm pretty sure everybody could just relate to one
Taylor Swift song in their life.
Taylor,listen.Girl-to-girl talk.
- You write songs about my life.Thank you so much. - Me too
Everybody has the same stories,and most people just
and most people just want to be heard,
and she does a really good job at being heard and sharing stories.
Taylor,we love you
we love you Taylor
I know that you are supposed to be afraid of being vulnerable
and you're supposed to be afraid of
giving out personal information and details in your songs,
but I just don't see how that's bad.
"Forever and Always" is a song
about a breakup that I had to really address.
Taylor,right here.
Taylor,straight ahead,Straight Taylor
I don't know.
I was asked about it in,like,every interview,
and so at the time that I was putting together the tour,
I was really sick of getting that question.
If you are naming the guys you've dated in your songs,
why do you think any guy is going to want to date you
So I wanted to base the way that the song was approached
onstage from the angle of having to talk about
your personal life in an interview.
Well,urn,I guess in that situation,I just figure that
if guys don't want me to write bad songs about them,
then they shouldn't do bad things.
Once upon a time
I believe it was a tuesday
When I caught your eye
We caught onto something
I hold onto the night
You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me
Were you just kidding cause it seems to me
This thing is breaking down
We almost never speak
I dont feel welcome anymore
Baby what happened
Please tell me cause one second it was perfect
Now youre halfway out the door
And I stare at the phone
He still hasnt called
And you feel so low you cant feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when he said forever and always
Oh and it rains in your bedroom everything is wrong
It rains when youre here and it rains when youre gone
Cause I was there when you said
Forever and always
Was I out of line
Did I say something way to honest
Did you run and hide like a scared little boy
I looked into your eyes
Thought I knew you for a minute now I'm not so sure
So heres to everything coming down to nothing
Heres to silence that cuts me to the core
Where is this going thought I knew for a minute but I dont anymore
And I stare at the phone he still hasnt called
And you feel so low you cant feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when he said
Forever and always
Oh and it rains in your bedroom everything is wrong
It rains when youre here and it rains when youre gone
Cause I was there when you said
Forever and always
Did you mean it baby
There are a few things that I really just love doing onstage.
Halfway through the song,I start to sort of lose my mind
and throw a gigantic temper tantrum and,like,go insane,
and it ends up scaring the Interviewer off.She runs offstage.
Ah......
I stand up,hit a high note,
and then throw the interviewer's chair off of the giant platform on the stage.
You know,throwing a chair every night is sort of like anger management.
Back up baby back up
Did you forget everything
Back up baby back up
Did you forget everything
And it rains in your bedroom everything is wrong
It rains when youre here and it rains when youre gone
Cause I was there when we said
Forever and always
And it rains in your bedroom everything is wrong
It rains when youre here and it rains when youre gone
Cause I was there when we said
As the song goes on,you see in the natural progression of emotion
after anger comes sadness.
Said forever and always
In the part where I get really sad,
one of the nights at the beginning of the tour,I ended up
putting my hand out,and this girl grabbed my hand.
And then all of a sudden I started feeling all of these girls grabbing my hand
and itwas just this moment of they were kind of comforting me,
and it's a really vulnerable and emotional part of the song,
and I feel it every time I sing it.
So,for them to be holding my hands was really nice.
It made me feel a little better,
and so I just started putting my hand out every night,and,uh,
there's,like...there's something really,really cool for me in that connection.
Like,holding somebody's hand is such a personal thing,and
I really like that part of the show every night.
Back up baby back up
With every breakup,there's that initial jolt of anger
where you want to throw a chair,
but then the reality underneath all that is that you're really,really sad,
and,uh,you always end up kind of kneeling on the floor,
realizing that you just wish
that you could back up the whole scenario and just make it end differently.
Back up baby back up
You said forever and always
Life on the road is sort of like summer camp.
- Amos - Yeah Okay.
Are you wearing my headband again
I'm wearing our headband. We agreed we'd share.
The "Fearless" tour went all over the United States of America.
We went to Canada.
We also toured in Japan and Australia.
We went to the U.K.
We decided to dress for the occasion.
- Yes. - Yes.
This tour has been going on for 15 months,
and that's a long tour.
The band and I find many ways
to entertain ourselves when we're out on the road.
We just get into...just all kinds of trouble.
What are they doing
Taylor Swift has made her debut in London.
Is in London.
We're going to have shrimp on the barbie,
and we're going to do afternoon tea.
We just decided to keep on...keep on looping around the world on this tour...
Try to read that word.
"Inhaltsverzeichnis."
That was perfect
It means table of contents.
Does it really. Fun fact of the day.
And I'm so glad we did.
I have my two best friends on the road with me...Caitlin and liz.
We are absolutely obsessed with each other.
- Did you know that dogs and bees could smell fear - No way.
Oh,and the human head weighs 8 pounds.
You don't think I'm pretty
Why won't you come to the airport
That's normal,right
That's totally normal.
- Yeah. - Oh,yeah.
That'll make him stay.
Even though we can be a little silly on the road,
the girls and I can be a little domestic.
Liz,Caitlin,and I found a kitchen in the arena.
Liz has a guy in her life.
I'm not gonna call him your boyfriend.
He's gonna be my boyfriend eventually.
But it's his birthday today.
And we're gonna wear chef hats and make him a cake.
Oh,my God. Don't look.
Party at home
Oh,honey.
I know. I know my head is small.
I got to bring some style.
- Yum. - Yeah
Thank you so much You can have that.
Ooh,I love cake,I love cake,I love cake,I love cake.
- It's so cute - My God
It's so cute
- Sprinkles -I love sprinkles.
One minute. Hurry. Right now.
Sometimes the girls and I spend a little too much time
in the kitchen goofing around
and have to race to hair and makeup.
- How long before the show - Well,it's almost 8:00.
We have about 35 to 40 minutes.
35 to 40 minutes. I got to start doing my hair right now,actually.
Let me just start while we're walking.
Just got to get the braid out.I got it,I got it.
A lot of people have hair and makeup people on the road with them,
but we like to do it this way.
We don't really know any different.
We've become like sisters.
We share a dressing room,
and every night,we get ready in a row,all three of us.
And we put on our makeup,and we do our hair.
And we talk about boys and life.
You said that your curls looks better than mine.
I didn't say that. You said...I just said that you're a copier.
We know each other so well.
Okay,so I accidentally burned Taylor's arm with my curling iron.
- Accident -It was an accident.
My elbow is still smoking.
Where is is the owie Right there's the owie.
There's nothing.
She's being dramatic.
Uh haha...
What's so funny,liz
- What - He's got a girl with him.
No Who
She's driving the truck.
Sive me that
He let her drive the truck
I'm over it.
This one's called "Picture to Burn."
State the obvious
I didn't get my perfect fantasy
I realize you love yourself
More than you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends
That I'm obsessive and crazy
Thats fine you won't mind if I stay
And by the way
I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak who'sreally bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned
You're just another picture to burn
Theres no time for tears
I'm just sitting here planning my revenge
Theres nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends
And if you come around sayin sorry to me
My daddy's gonna show you how sorry youll be
Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as im concerned
Youre just another picture to burn
And if youre missin me
You better keep it to yourself
Cause comin back around here
Would be bad for your health
Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time
In case you havent heard
I really really hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as im concered
Youre just another picture to burn
Burn burn burn baby burn
Just another picture to burn
Baby burn
I love you so much.
Tomorrow night is the last night of the tour,
and we are headlining a stadium that I...
Oh,my God. And I'm really excited.
I'm out of my mind.
Oh,hi,stadium.
Oh,dude. What are you doing tomorrow night
What are we doing
- How is it going,you guys - Good. How are you
Stadium-licious.
Oh,who-o-a.
Ohhh,oh,oh,oh
Oh,dude.
Knowing that Gillette Stadium was the last night of the tour,
it was such a mixture of emotions,because
I loved this tour so much,
and I put everything into it.
This is certainly a nice place to end the tour.I think this will do.
This makes me really excited and happy.
It's going to be really sad when we wrap this up because
it's so fun,and it's been like the past year of our life every day.
That's a big giant me on that.
We love you
I remember walking out into the Gillette Stadium sound check,
and it was empty,and I kind of lost it.
I was just dancing and running around,frolicking.
I was so happy that I couldn't control it,
and I just kind of acted like I was 6.
I remember looking out at the stadium and thinking and thinking
I can't believe we're playing there.Like,I can't believe we're playing there
and people are going to fill that whole place up.
I can't believe we're playing there,and it's sold out,and we're playing there.
Like,it's just...it's so crazy to me
that we were able to end the tour on such a huge,huge show.
The reality is...we started out in a place,Knoebels Grove,
and Taylor was 11 years old,
and she would start singing,and there was no one in the audience,
and by the time she was finished,there would be 500 people
applauding her,you know,so
when you think about where it started and how much she loves singing
and how much she loves the fans end everbthisg else,
what a way to end the year.
This is it."Fearless" wrapping up.
This has been amazing.
This has been the most wonderful group of people I have ever worked with.
I miss everybody already.
15 months,it's been an incredible journey...
the most rewarding experience.
It's just been awesome.
We sold out. Unbelievable.
And,honestly,when you have that many shows ahead of you,
you think "Whoopee,it's never going to end,
and we live in magic world,
and I honestly felt like this day wouldn't come.
I just don't think there's a better way to go out than a big bang in the north,
and,honestly,it's sad to know that our time is up,
but it holds memories and places
and people in my heart that I'll never forget.
I had no clue ifd be this big.
I had no clue,man. This is amazing.
55,000 people... You can't beat that.
Ooh,it's going to be emotional,It's going to be intense.
It's going to be a little dramatic.
I don't know,man. It's bittersweet.It really is.
The tour coming to a close is like impending graduation.
I never had that. I never
had the countdown to when I was going to go and hear my name called
and throw my cap in the air,.
so I guess this is that for me
Yearbooks.
Yay,yearbooks.
At the last show in the T-party room,we got everybody together
and gave everybody these yearbooks we had designed.
I think the yearbook took everyone by surprise.
This is great.
It really caught them off guard and in a very happy way
just gave them one more thing on that last day to be elated about.
I never actually bought a yearbook in high school
'cause I hated high school so much,
so I'm glad that I have,like,something like this,you know.
Something that I actually appreciate and had a good time doing.
I love it.I'm so glad I have this to look back on.
Awesome. Really cool,and I'll never forget it.
Pretty amazing it's over.
I am glad that we did that because now everybody has
this beautiful book of memories
of what we had all undergone together.
Everybody was,like,getting their yearbook signed,
and it very much felt like the end of the school year.
Hey,guys. This is Justin.
I just wanted to say it's an honor to be performing with Taylor.
It's definitely an amazing experience.
She's a great person. She's really funny,great to hang out with,
and I'm just really honored to be here.
So,thank you so much. And we'll see you guys soon.
At the last huddle before we went onstage,
I just told them how much I loved them
and how I was so happy to have gone through this with them
and that that group of people will be with me forever.
Emotions are running high to the point where
we feel a million different things per minute
because this is the last time that we're going to stand here in a circle like this.
Trust is not something that
comes easily by me,but I want you to know that I trust you,
and that's something that,because we've shared this experience together,
will always be true.
We've done this as this band of brothers,
just band of thieves
who somehow got a chance to stand on the biggest stages
in front of the biggest crowds,and we sold out that stadium.
We did that.
And I will always love you,and I will always trust you.
This is love,
and this is the one true love that I have ever had in my entire life.
Let's go out there and be...
FearlessAnd...
Never forget the essence of your spark
We want Taylor
I'm gonna cry.
Don't cry
Don't cry,I love you.
the definition of fearless for me is following your gut,
listening to your heart.
My definition of fearless has to be my belief in Christ.
I want to thank the fans.
I would like to thank all the fans on Twitter and MySpace.
I want to thank the fans.
Well,hello,Foxborough,Massachusetts
Welcome to the very last show of the "Fearless" tour.
I have never in my life seen anything like this
So,thank you,thank you for hanging out with me.
I think that Taylor's journey
has been one of complete surprises surprised that it worked...
Surprised that people could relate to such personal songs,
that people would wrap their arms around her and
just be the most incredible fans that they could be.
It's the first kiss it's flawless really something
It's fearless
Every single night I get to go out there and sing songs
that I've written to girls who are just like me,
and they're singing the words right back,
and seeing that emotion come from them,seeing people crying
and people having the time of their lives is really so incredible to me.
This is a song that I wrote about a guy
who about a guy who made the choice to cheat on me
and probably shouldn't have because I write songs.
Should've said no
It's strange to think the songs we used to sing
The smiles the flowers everything is gone
Yesterday I found out about you
Even now just looking at you feels wrong
You say that you'd take it all back given one chance
It was a moment of weakness
And you said yes
You should've said no you should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've known that the word about what you did with her
Get back to me (get back to me)
And I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no baby and you might still have me
You can see that I've been crying
And baby you know all the right things to say
But do you honestly expect me to believe
We could ever be the same
You say that the past is the past
You need one chance
It was a moment of weakness
And you said yes
You should've said no you should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've known that the word about what you did with her
Get back to me (get back to me)
And I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no baby and you might still have me
Ohh...You should've said no baby
Ohh...now everybody knows
Ohh...You should've said no baby
Ohh...now everybody knows
I can't resist before you go
Tell me this was it worth it
Was she worth this
Nooo no noooo ...
You should've said no you should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've known that the word about what you did with her
Get back to me (get back to me)
And I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no baby and you might still have me
It was so good.
Oh,I'm so proud of you,honey.
We just played the most exhilarating show to a crowd of,like,55,000 people.
It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
I can't believe it happened,
and I can't believe we get to end the tour on that note.
The band and I can't stop crying.
Everybody's emotional.
It's like the end of this beautiful,amazing era.I'm so happy that
tonight went down the way tonight went down.
This tour ending is very symbolic of more than just a tour ending.
It's sort of like the entire "Fearless" era of my life is ending,
which is interesting because it's been a long time being on this particular project.
I started writing it when I was 16,
and then you know,was touring on the first record at the same time
and put the album out when I was 18.
It really started to pick up,
when I was 19
so it's been a beautiful,beautiful time
with the word "Fearless" being at the forefront of my life and my career.
That project and that album has really
gone further than I ever imagined it could
When I finished the tour,I flew
right back to Nashville
and was in the studio 24-7,basically.
Video of the Year.
The next album Speak Now
is about my life from 18 to 20,and a lot happened from 18 to 20.
and a lot happened from 18 to 20.
She has truly put blood,sweat,and tears into this album.
Her music grows with her.
She's kind of like a timeline.
You're really going to be able to
just get to know Taylor on a more personal level.
You may have thought that's impossible
considering everything she shared with us so far,but it gets better.
She is happier than I have ever seen her.
She's happy with who she is and the music that she has written,
and,most importantly,She's just happy with her life.
I'm really excited about the next thing
because the next thing is something I'm really proud of already.
I can't wait to create those lyrics on the stage.
I can't wait to turn those songs into music videos.
I can't wait to see those lyrics painted on people's faces.
It's going to be really,really fun.
