The Love story crooner further praised the audience, noting, “I have to say. I’ve just never seen a crowd like this in my life”
“There have been moments in this show already where I like, forget what I’m supposed to do next or what I’m supposed to say because I’m just so distracted by how much fun you’re having and how you’re performing in the audience. I love this,” she added.
Taylor went on to express, “You’re just so in the moment and I cannot tell you how special that is for us as performers to get to look out and make eye contact with you and connect with you in this way. an absolute dream it is to be here with you here tonight.”
The Fortnight singer concluded her speech, saying, "There is, before I start crying, there is one song that I want to play you from the red album if you happen to have about ten minutes to spare. Do you have ten minutes?"
The crowd then cheered as Taylor began playing the 10-minute version of All Too Well.
