[@amyargentar5611]

I know she’s been a superstar for over a decade, but she’s been doing so much recently!!! Im so happy for her and I am the biggest Sara cheerleader. Go Sara!!!!!

[@cathycathy8823]

Amy, your so right.. Delighted for Sara!! 🍀🍀🍀

[@jb-ze1yh]

I love Sara Bareilles . I’ve been a fan for over 10 years. I will always have so many wonderful memories of my favorite songs.

[@lavans06]

I've related her song 'Brave' to being socially anxious and trying to improve myself socially. Kudos to how it can manifest to other causes

[@kaushikmalepati2495]

That's the power of a song. As a gay person it helped me immensely. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@daniellerestrepo9504]

My husband said, “it’s like she had no idea how famous she is” and I think that’s probably one of the most accurate things I’ve ever heard about how humble and down to earth she is.

[@loveinthematrix]

The laugh from the audience that she got was so genuine. She is made for the stage!

[@AlexBurruss]

she’s so well spoken and genuine, i love her so much

[@Ayalaula]

I didn't realize she was so naturally funny! 😂😂 She's so talented ✨✨✨

[@loc5559]

Part of why her concerts are so much fun is her humor. Her banter with the audience will crack you up and then her song has you sobbing two seconds later.

[@Mac62671]

She has the loveliest classic face. Its like one of those people from the mosaics of ancient rome.

[@derekg5563]

@Patsy McNeil: It comes across as pretty insensitive and ignorant to equate those things while providing no factual basis for it.

[@Invisiguy]

Patsy, I know what you mean. Kind of the Mona Lisa quality vs. your Housewives of Wherever look

[@randyseay4855]

Got my ticket to see Into The Woods a few days ago. Love Sara, love the show and can’t wait to see it!

[@Giselle-gx3iz]

I love how incredibly talented she is and yet so humble and still so normal. I wish more artists were like this. It’s refreshing. Love her 🥰

[@kalinmiles425]

Saw her in Waitress and was blown away!! Expected nothing less than amazing and no wonder Tina Fe gave her a job

[@milos.creative]

I’ve been waiting for this interview all day and she does not disappoint. Been a fan of hers for so many yeas now, she always makes me laugh so hard but also makes my heart melt every time. Seeing her live is my biggest dream. Love you Sara ♥️

[@hifromthestudio]

I love Sara and I love her work and how she cares so deeply about it. This conversation with Jimmy was so fun, I love their dynamic 💕

[@rahullovesthepayne8690]

My absolute favourite songwriter in the world

[@solo_alien]

This was such a pleasant interview. I think Jimmy has found a new buddy for these interviews, hope she's back soon. And Joe of course.

[@CaioThatDreamer]

SHE IS EVERYTHING TO ME AND SHE DOESNT EVEN KNOW IT

[@mushroomnerd9772]

Ahhh sara. Shes a legend. Also Joe played Earl(Jenna’s abusive husband) in Waitress on stage with Sara but is actually a really sweet person irl. It was really interesting to see them on stage in that position haha

[@laurasewell242]

I actually am happy that she's in love with someone that she talks so much about. I don't follow her social media as a guard to my heart, but honestly I loved her and always will.

[@khiaratt]

Sara looks so happy. Always loved how much her songs have touched me.

[@pattycashion-janke6865]

Love her voice... and how home grown she is...My son went to school with her here in Eureka, CA

[@Invisiguy]

Sara is such a gifted and yet humble person ❤❤❤

[@thegenerikshow8545]

Would love a new album, but glad she’s getting involved in so many projects

[@Miss_Camel]

I mean…same, and I’m happy she’s happy, but selfish me just really wants a new album. And one in continuation with her getting better and better music producers. Or a re-record of “The Blessed Unrest” with better production.

[@manjoechan1823]

She’s writing a new album right now!

[@kristopherschermerhorn998]

@@Miss_Camel What? I loved the production on “The Blessed Unrest”. I agree with everything else that you said though 😆

[@kristopherschermerhorn998]

@@manjoechan1823 Great news!

[@Miss_Camel]

@@kristopherschermerhorn998 I will never get over the over-production of “Hercules” and “Eden”. Felt like such a betrayal of flawless writing…the only thing worse was the album “flaming red” by Patty griffin. Flawless, and then butchered by others. It was so bad she made her own studio in her house and does most songs in one take bc even the flaws capture her real feeling.

[@karlareyes4688]

Been a fan of Sara's for many years. I love her! I hope I can see her live someday 😃😃😃 some of her songs have come at the right moment in my life. I love her 🥲🥲🥲

[@broadwaymike92]

Got my tickets for the 3rd preview of INTO THE WOODS!!! Soooooo excited to see Sara shine!!! Sara is correct. The last revival of INTO THE WOODS that was on Broadway post 9/11 was in 2002 starring Vanessa Williams as "The Witch" which won the Tony for BEST REVIVAL OF A MUSICAL.

[@Nic-em6el]

Do you know if it's a staged concert like Encores! or is it the full stage show

[@maddietillem6778]

I always forget that Sara and Joe actually have a really sweet relationship cuz I saw them in Waitress together and he's SO GOOD at playing her abusive boyfriend.

The northern lights form when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. These collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora. if anyone wanted to know

[@GraciesMom]

That’s very cool 😎. Thank you so much for explaining this!!!!

[@visariosorino8034]

To the person reading this, even though I don't know you. I wish you the best of what life has to offer. 🤗 🙏❤️

[@bickleyjonas6145]

I'm a criminal.

[@fezzik7619]

Sad old ploy to get likes that have no real life value. You’re pathetic.

[@LSFD]

Thank you! you too

[@emwithyt9429]

Thank you!!

[@joeybryan7065]

I needed this

[@1972dsrai]

I've spent a lot of time in Finland, but have yet to go that far north to see the lights, but I will do so one day, It's a beautiful part of world and a once in a life time experience.

[@BeatrizIMoro]

This woman is SO TALENTED. ❤ I wish I could see more of her. Love from 🇧🇷!

[@ec-3po]

Omg I need her outfit. It’s everything!

[@jamespittman]

I love Sara she is a great actress.😍

[@juanmanuelaguirre7033]

I hope sara makes an album soon. But I love that sara is doing and trying everything!

[@CthulhuBob.Lovely]

Extremely kind and insanely gorgeous.

[@analiviafm]

absolute queen!!! couldn’t love her more

[@solo_alien]

I love her so much... She is beyond talented and glad she is getting so much recognition now. I've loved her music for so long.

[@marbledillon]

Sara is so beautiful and kind. Love her.

[@martinfalvarezg]

Sara is so down to Earth. I have had this dream of following her on tour ever since I became a fan of hers back in 2007, hopefully one day I get to do it. By the way, her boyfriend Joe was amazing in Mare of Easttown.

[@lincolnzeferino8287]

Damn I'm here with Sara since Little Voice. What a way....

[@dwaynejordan5898]

Love song brought me here,,now i gotta listen to Brave,,Sara is such a loveable lady

[@Stephen-to7jx]

She was in the chorus in the 30 Rock episode titled We Need a Kidney Now.

[@JonnyDIY]

She's such a sweetheart 💕👍

[@ralph1270]

I go *hard* with my drums when I play this song! It's such a happy, contagious and energetic track...I simply *love* it!

[@carsonwieker]

She's fantastic, great interview/convo, cheers!

[@robinbuckley5965]

Slay what you wanna slay and let the slay slay slay

[@gabrielabebber2654]

Wish i could see her on Broadway ! Such an amazing star

[@Nayops23]

^ Sara’s so talented & stunning as always♥️🎶

[@rodjoh]

Ahh she's so lovely. Great interview.

[@rofelynsans]

I love her so much💕

[@eccles36]

Oh my God she is a delight.

[@LaurenDaisy]

[@Mybestfriendlivesinboston]

Sara is a beast! Love her! Her cover of sitting on the dock of the bay is one of the best ever 🥰

[@josieweber8825]

She's the best! 😍

[@mgb7140]

Brave also resonates with abuse survivors.

[@JillFornadley]

Tina Fey has never called me for anything but I'm going to steal this mantra re: Tina believes in me, so I should too ❤️

[@Invisiguy]

I happen to know for a FACT that Tina believes in you. And Sara does, too.
