16. The Hollywood Reporter captured Taylor talking to the attendees before the movie started. "I wanted to come and say 'Hi' to you before you watch the film because honestly, honestly the fact that this tour was such a grand adventure has everything to do with the ways in which you cared about this tour and about these shows. I think you'll see that you're absolutely a main character in the film. Because it was your magic and your attention to detail and your sense of humor and the ways that you lean into what I'm doing..." she said before her mic momentarily went out.
