That did wonders for my self esteem, Taylor Nation.
The Blonde With The Sparkly Dress called us the “unforeseeable factor” to defy the odds and turn the tour that many detractors thought as a flop and a failure into the most successful US tour of the year. Don’t take it from me, she can tell you herself.
I think one of the most wonderful things about the way that this whole tour turned out is that for like the entire six months leading up to the first show of this tour, every headline that I read about the tour was, ‘This is going to be a massive failure. This is going to be a flop tour.’ And it really did wonders for my self-esteem. It was really great to hear people saying that I was gonna be playing to nearly empty stadiums.
I’ve learned a lot, and one of the things I learned is that life is really unpredictable. And people can make forecasts and predictions, but those predictions and forecasts may not come true if there’s an unforeseeable factor involved, and that unforeseeable factor in this case was my fans. I honestly owe everything in my life to you.
And I wanna thank you if you came out and saw the show in perfect weather, or if you came to one of our many rain shows that we had. And I also wanna say thank you if you just watched the show on Netflix! You guys are the reason why this tour, the only reason why this tour wasn’t a massive failure, and why it ended up being the highest-selling tour in U.S. history. That’s you.
And I also just wanted to say before I go that I love your passion, I love your attention to detail, I love how much you care. I love seeing all the things that you’re voicing online, and I just wanted to let you know that when there’s new music, you will be the first to know.
