Episode 249: We Finally Saw Taylor Swift & The Eras Tour! | Calm Down Podcast

[@cuchelo1]

The scream I scrumpt when I saw clips of the tent with the whole Kelce family and you two were right there----🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 I don't know if I could quantify the amount of secondhand glee I felt. YOU DESERVED EVERY MINUTE OF THIS!!!!!!!

[@gdhaney136]

Same! Was excited for them to be in the middle of everything!

[@MSpaz71]

It’s the magnitude of her reach & the fact that she uses her reach to only share joy, love & happiness……..she makes people feel good, feel United, feel like they matter, because we all matter……the fact that she’s not a diva, but rather a human being. She’s very special, one of a kind.

[@kerrisouth]

She's special in a unique sort of way. Hard to describe, but you did a great job.

[@0510nan]

She is pure joy🙏🏻❤️

[@Emma_kj3nj]

I love your comments so much! Two questions: 1) Would you mind if I copied your comment into another site. There's a woman posting that Taylor's songs are unhealthy for our trauma and basically no one should be listening to them. I wrote a response but mine was angry. I'd love to add your words of joy. 2) Erin & Charissa mentioned dm'ing them and there was something I wanted to ask privately. I looked up how to do that in you tube and it said to go into "About" but I can't find that. Do you know where the "About" tab is? Thanks so much!

[@MSpaz71]

@@Emma_kj3nj absolutely 👍

[@sandicave9637]

I read Taylor starts about 3 months before a tour, with her song list and she sings the whole show while on a treadmill to build lung endurance.

[@bonnieflynn4798]

She ran fast for fast songs and slow for-slow,songs for months singing every song. No one works-harder than Taylor

[@aizuddinghaffarud-din9365]

I'm glad you two had a good time at Taylor Swift's The Era Tour last week in London.❤❤❤

[@MamaBearSwiftie]

There is a video of Andrea (Taylor’s Mom) coming into the venue and she’s crying at the crowd and touching her heart! She is very moved by it all! They really are a lovely family as are the Kelce’s so it’s really so perfect!!! We are watching a real life romcom!! 😂

[@TheCinder24]

Andrea used to come to a lot of the concerts. She hadn't been to any in quite a while. It was great she was able to go and see everything in person.

[@rev5774]

Erin and Charissa, I am so glad I discovered your podcast AND better yet, hear both of you describe what it was like to be at a Taylor Swift concert with all of those people including Travis. I'm an almost 60 year old pastor who recently discovered Taylor Swift and her music and she has brought so much joy to my life! Thank you for being audacious and bold in connecting Travis and Taylor. I've married hundreds of couples in my 30 year career but I don't ever remember seeing a couple like Taylor and Travis in real love. ❤❤❤❤

[@kerrisouth]

Thank you for sharing this! I'm an almost 60 yrs old parishioner who also came across Taylor relatively recently. Love her and her music so much. When Travis replied, "you have no idea" when she mentioned that he must be so proud of Taylor, my heart melted.

[@catH727]

63. My daughter 33 went to local concert. She and her friends followed Taylor since she was a teen. I was watching all videos and quizzing my daughter where she was (on the floor). Became a total swiftie listening to her brilliant lyrics.

[@auntietara]

Gotta tell ya, I couldn’t have picked Taylor Swift out of a lineup before she started dating Travis. But now, although I’m still not a Swiftie, when i saw your London podcast had dropped this morning and it was the whole show, I was as excited as a teenager! Thanks for the stories! 🥰🥰🥰

[@chelseaguerin9030]

Love this episode! What a great conversation with you three. So many great questions and stories. ❤

[@normaespinoza9143]

Love your energy and stories. Love the details, It's stuff I would wonder about.

[@KarynSanders]

Really hope you get to interview Taylor - the show behind the show would be incredible.

[@DerekCunningham-v3o]

Tops and Tails baby!!

[@katielafave4543]

yayyyy!!!! been looking forward to this episode!!!

[@almaritagaleone8130]

Loved that you met our Kelce’s!!

[@titanfrenchies6135]

Aww thanks ladies. I'm your Gen and I feel so lame here sometimes as a sole swiftie and you make me feel seen. Hate to say I'd be the weird dancer at the concert with the eye rolling husband behind haha love it

[@user-tf3je6vi4q]

The photo with the royal was before the show, (not after) a UK paper wrote about it. That William was very late to the show, but they still was so importen for the royal to meet Taylor there.

[@dawnfoens8794]

ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THANK YOU BOTH!!!! LOVE THEM TOGETHER AND IT STARTED WITH YOU BOTH!!!! 😍

[@ninawest8]

Jealousy is ugly,so many resent her for no good reason. Happy people don't hate, and the content don't criticize 😊

[@maryannjacobs4946]

What are you talking about?

[@ninawest8]

@@maryannjacobs4946 I'm talking about people who are jealous of Taylor and of others.

[@lisarose1121]

The photo with William and his kids was before the concert

[@melissadriskell6431]

My takeaway: Erin would be my perfect concert buddy.

[@bronwyn117]

The pictures with Prince William was before the concert.

[@debbienorton637]

Charissa I'd be like you too! Dancing and Screaming! I would also be just star struck to be in the presence of all of you as well! However, there would be a time I would be like Erin as well, I'm a music junkie! I am an older (58) Swiftie- Yes I said it!! I am an 80's brat lol! Great Job Ryan!!!

[@belindacerene2196]

When you booked the London tour, did you have VIP tickets or were you sitting somewhere else? How did you get to meet up with Kylie Kelce?

[@Turts-Mc-Gurts]

They were invited to Taylor’s VIP tent for family and friends

[@juliemedina9698]

In the picture of the 4 of you with Travis which one is Steve & Jared?

[@iwanttoplaywithspringsteen9188]

She is phenomenal what a performer and artist . Also her media and pr team are off the scale . Rarely have I witnessed a person who attracts love and cynicism in such equal measures.which equates to everyone talking . Half believe she is sensational and others believing its like the biggest concocted facade ever everything staged managed to perfection . Either way it’s win win . I couldn’t care less it’s entertainment and what an entertainer she is amongst the best ever .

[@snarkycharlies]

I totally get Erin wanting to pay attention and watch the dancers but she shoulda given Charissa a heads up.

[@zintaro3451]

Yeah it's weird because they went to Justin Timberlake's concert together before

[@jolenew9595]

You have all the sports in your jacket line.....except.......NASCAR! I want a jacket with my favorite driver! You should make NASCAR jackets!

[@annaiorio4543]

Why have you never met Jason or Kylie before covering games?

[@erin723]

C’mon ladies. Of course she can run right off stage into Travis’ arms, but you know there is a stop in the dressing room when she showers and changes clothes. And happy love cares nothing about smells in this situation. Taylor doesn’t hesitate to hug Travis after games. You girls are thinking too hard on this. But still, ❤

[@chammiequeen7838]

Does anyone else hear a sound like a coffee pot?

[@cputrbug]

Paul McCartney dancing with fans was the diversion for Travis to get backstage unseen

[@davidmueller9342]

Well played

[@louDAY831]

Thanks for devoting this whole podcast to cover details of the concert! I was hanging on every word, lol, and you made me feel like I was right there in the tent with y'all!!! You guys are the BEST.

[@BoCassandra]

NEW NEEEWWWWWSSS!!!!!

[@clairebear1808]

Those sweet little Royals had the time of their lives. Its so cool the perks when daddy will soon be King 🤴. Such a cool dad. 🤗🥰

[@pamelatimmins1055]

It is a vaudeville performance. Kam and Jan before Travis have dressed that way, but Travis had on red soled Louboutin's like Taylor did. His were dress shoes, hers were ankle booties. Some people on a site have mentioned they are sole mates (soul mates). I am so glad you both made it to her show. Taylor took the two pictures the one with just Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte, and herself and then the one with Travis included before her performance. Taylor moved into her own place at 19. She has homes in Nashville, NY, RI, and Beverly Hills. I believe also London. She has been doing this for twenty years. She started working for Sony Music in Nashville at 14, writing songs for other artists, she left at 15 because she wanted to sing her own songs. Taylor has several documentaries about her out, "Miss Americana," "The Long Pond Session," and some others. "Miss Americana" will make you cry after what kanye west and kim kardashian did to her and her career after they lied about her, we didn't hear from her for a year, she was only 25. I hate kardashian and west. kardashian told Taylor recently to shake it off. I especially hate kardashian. I am so glad Taylor met Travis and he performed with her on stage. Their chemistry is off the charts. She wrote 'So High School' and 'The Alchemy' off 'The Tortured Poets Department' album for Travis.

[@aprilc.3697]

I’m so happy for you guys that you got to go see Taylor in London! I feel like I vicariously got to enjoy the show through you guys! My husband is not a Swifty, but I am for sure. You guys are lucky to have men in your life who were willing to take part in this amazing experience. ❤

[@jasonlisakell6074]

When Travis carried Taylor across the stage.... consider this: this may have been their gift to us, the fans, of a chance to witness a wedding-like scenario betweenTravis (in a tuxedo and top hat, and Taylor (in a beautiful white dress). In the song 'but daddy I love him', she says "no, you can't come to the wedding" and "i'm his lady..."....and in the boys in the bus podcast Travis declares "that's my girl, she's my lady"... I think fans have been given notice. They are definitely engaged and to be married. And it will probably happen over xmas/new years (wishful thinking). Why wait.

[@eljobo3258]

There definitely might be some truth to what you're saying. Look up the Entertainment Tonight article that just dropped in the last hour or so, and definitely came from Taylor's publicist. My jaw dropped.

[@Darth_Mom_2]

I think they’re engaged and will be married right after her tour is over and after the football season. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@naomitorgerson8629]

I wondered the same thing about the photo with Prince William. The more I thought about it, the more confused I got about the outfit she had on because that isn't from the end of the show. Then on New Heights they said it was taken before the show.

[@user-tf3je6vi4q]

It was before the show, not after

[@beccabaggett5498]

It’s the jacket from “The Man” which is near the beginning. I think it was before and she threw that jacket on for a little more coverage for the royals, instead of her opening bodysuit.

[@barbestey869]

They took the pic before the show

[@jgheart3018]

Great podcast ladies! Your enthusiasm & genuine love of your experience came through in this entertaining KZbin video. I won't be attending a Taylor Swift concert as I am 71 and very frugal with my money but I just lived the experience through you two and I'm so glad you reported on how lovely & genuine Kylie Kelce is too as I love that whole Kelce family...this all started for me when I fell in love with the way rookie Patrick Mahomes came on to the Kansas City Chiefs and my love for the Chiefs & Travis Kelce all came out of that.

[@anitatagle125]

I couldn't wait to hear you both talk about your experience at the concert...thank you! That was great!! 🥰

[@lexymich3647]

I went to Michael Jacksons thriller concert and even though I was only 12, I can still remember how spectacular it was. To answer one of your questions, she said the only thing she does between show nights is try to think up the coolest mash ups for the surprise songs for the next nights and the next city. Thank you all for that peak inside the vip tent. That was so informative. There is a podcast i just started watching called "hits different" and they are extremely informative, like you both of you, without squealing the entire time like some do. Im sure you both know know this but Cam the dancer has an older brother that played for the Chiefs so they already knew each other. I found that out from that podcast, One more thing. Im pretty sure the selfies with Princess William were before the conccert, bc in their London New Heights podcast Travis said he was glad there was no traffic bc he would have missed meeting Royalty. Sorry for the long comment but I thought if you didnt already know this you might want to,

[@karenhayse2585]

I have been waiting for this episode. OMG I almost died when I saw you two with Kylie Kelce. I am so glad you all had such a great time

Let's not forget the Prince Purple Rain SB in FL. She doesn't need the SB headline. Everything you said about the magic of the Eras tour was exactly how we felt here at Levi Stadium. Love that you enjoyed it so much too! I took my sister, a core memory for sure!! 🫶

[@catharinecole7956]

Erin - SB halftime was sponsored by Pepsi - now it’s Apple. Taylor was signed with Diet Coke for years so performing at a Pepsi show was a no-go. Maybe it’s possible now…

[@DWHarper62]

I think it's the microphone on Erin's desk that is making all that noise... Please do something about it...

[@ShellePennington]

I want to watch this so much but the drumming sound in the background at the beginning is so off-putting to my head I just can't. 7 minutes in and I gotta 'peace out'. ugh.

Starting at the very, very beginning: how does Team Taylor even know you're going to the concert such that they start dialing you in?

What was your favorite song that Taylot Swift sang at her concert that you liked

[@Nurse1974]

As a Swifitie we all believe they are already engaged and keeping it quiet. Just a little hint to you guys. Thats private info. We have the “clues” or eggs to support this. I hope you respond to me other than a heart. lol. I love you guys so much and wait every week just for your podcast and only can find the shorts or pregames cause idk when the big one is. Love you so much. Jeri Tiller from Bristol TN

[@LK-lz6lk]

If there was private info to be known, I'm pretty sure they'd know about it before the Swifties. considering they know him personally. Private usually means the public doesn't know but, friends & family often do know bc they trust them to keep the info private. Personally I don't think they are YET (but hope they will be one day.) IF they are tho & just wanting to keep under wraps, I don't think they'd be dropping Easter eggs & clues ...kinda defeats the whole point & purpose lol.✌️

[@lexymich3647]

Sorry to bring this down and you might think I need to calm down but is there anything you can do Erin about Harry not getting the award he so so so doesn't deserve. He went to the Lion King premiere to pitch his wife to do Disney voice overs and skipped a veterans event he was supposed to be attending. I'm excited to hear your experience and live vicariously through you but I had to get that off my chest first. Whew. Okay. Onto the Eras tour recap.

I really wanted to go and was looking into tickets in Europe, and ready to book my trip when I realized that my passport was expired! OH NO FK, FK, FK! My husband says "don't worry, she''ll be on tour next year" and I'm like, "Noooo. Next year, she'll be getting married, and the year after that, she'll be having their first child". I'm so disappointed I'm not going to be able to go... Maybe Indianapolis? Hopefully. I am really. so happy for both of them
