  Speaker 2: Was it like?
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: Did you did you cry when you saw Taylor?
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Did you get walk us through your emotions and what
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: you saw.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: Well, I felt like it was my job to be
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: Taylor's hype man because I feel like some of the
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: crowd was lacking.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: I stood up, I was cheering, I was calling her name.
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: I was flailing around, slapping my arms around. And then
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: like during the commercial breaks, they played the Fate of
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: Ophelia and opal Light and I was singing every word
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: and I'm pretty sure at one point she turned around
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: and saw me and some other people singing, and so
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: I was like, oh my god, my moment.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: So as far as her winning, because you said something
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: about you send me a message later and you're like,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I can't believe I was there.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I saw her.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I saw it because you've seen her in concert a
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: million times, but you've never seen her win an award.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: You've never seen her there with her husband or fiance.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: What was that like?
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, when she wins awards, she always does some
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: kind of like original speech and it something you know,
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: gives advice to the youth or gives advice to people
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: in the industry, and they end up being like either
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: in documentaries or on compilations on TikTok, and I'm like, man,
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: I would do anything to hear one of those speeches.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: I just I want to be there for one of
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: those moments. And last night was one of those moments.
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: And I was like, oh my god, because I think it.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Was the first time.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I think it's the first time that I like she
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: said my fiance or something, and I think it's the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: first time they came in together. Like, think about this
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: for a second. I said this on TV this morning.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: This is such a big story that I mean they went.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I did a TV day on it. The Grammys, the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: MTV Video Music Awards, the Academy Music Awards.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Taylor didn't go to any of those. She went to
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: our award show.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: That's right, I know, right, Yeah, she actually won seven
• 2:53
