“Thank you everyone! It was so nice of you to do that to me! It’s a song about my grandmother who passed away! That was completely, like my knees are weak, genuinely, like I physically felt that. It was so beautiful of you do to that. Wow, oh my god. What a perfect moment for my in-ears to just come unplugged magically. Kamilah, can you help me? It’s not just me actually this time, it’s not just me flailing too hard and unplugging my cord that goes to my in-ears. It’s actually more of an infrastructure problem that we’re all having. So while that is bad news, it’s nice to be joined in my pain, don’t you think? It’s nice when everyone is struggling. Okay. I think what this means is that the band can’t really hear very much of what’s going on. I’m just going to–oh did you fix it? Sorry I have people talking in these, see, we wear these so we can hear in the stadium, but apparently it’s fine now. Let’s give it up for my amazing sound crew, because they’re the best for fixing that so fast. Not to take away from the really beautiful, heavenly thing you guys just did. Like, this is the thing, that I missed so much during the pandemic. I, there were so many conversations happening on a sort of global scale about the future of live music, and the future of us getting to be in a room together and sing together, have you do such spontaneous, beautiful things like putting up your phone lights in that song, which I did not expect. It was so gorgeous of you to do that. And maybe the five years that I was spending not doing this with you, and not getting to be in a room with you, maybe that’s why this tour has become my entire personality and like, it’s ridiculous, just hanging out with you. Oh, my in-ears are not working. It’s gone again. They’re totally gone. I wonder what’s going to happen now. Should I tell jokes? Um, okay, so a cat walks into a library, and the cat says, ‘Yes, I’ll have some tuna fish please,’ and the lady at the counter says, 'This is a library,’ and the cat says *whispering*, 'Oh, I’m sorry, I’ll have some tuna fish please’ I’m so sorry. My in-ears are back, just at the perfect time, because that was like a dad joke from hell, I’m so sorry. Basically I was trying to tell you how much I missed you during the pandemic when I was making an album that we are currently in the middle of the era of, which is the evermore album. And when I wrote a certain specific song, I really felt the extreme agony of worrying that I would ever get to play it with you live and sing it back and hear that, feel that. But thankfully, miraculously here we are tonight, and I get to sing champagne problems with you!”
