im pretty sure it was just ur computer that was probably lagging cause it didn’t do that when I watched it

[@schneijt]

Same for me, but there was a tiny section maybe 1/3 of the way through where it cut to a different camera angle and the lip sync seemed a bit off until the next shot. I think it was 100% live with no ability to easily combine takes (especially since I see no IEMs, so no click track) and we’re hearing one continuous take with just a little camera shot editing timing issue possibly. Regardless, *THIS* is what a live performance should be! I love nearly perfect live performances that have natural “imperfections” that sound fantastic. It sounds like real life, which is often sorely missing in live music.

[@13alllove]

@Withro Anime Edits Olivia was wearing a cardigan when she wrote this song, there's a video on her Instagram singing drivers license for the first time when she made the song in her room and its just her in a piano wearing a cardigan, that's why she wanted to do this first television performance like this, olivia in a piano wearing a cardigan like it always was

6:24 I feel she needed the strings because it set up for the ohhh, ohh, ohh, part so that she didn't have to stray off course for the performance. But, it is just my opinion and Blake you most likely know better, lol. Love everything you do.

I agree with you. I loved how other instruments were slowly introduced in her performance. It became more interesting as they added the strings. I think it wouldn't be as impactful and emotional (aside from the dynamics in Olivia's vocals) if it would only be the piano until the end.

[@mikaylaj4322]

Maybe it would be a secondary chorus IF it happened again at the end of the song or something. But I just think that this bridge does everything a bridge should do. It just happens to be the best part of the song. I feel like there’s a lot of songs where the bridge is the strongest and that’s what people look forward to but I don’t think it makes it a chorus tbh. Also the actual chorus is strong enough to stand on its own that I don’t think it would need a secondary chorus.
