Taylor Swift: Speak Now World Tour Live

Taylor!

Real life is a funny thing, you know.

I think most of us fear reaching the end of our life and looking back,

regretting the moments we didn't speak out.

When we didn't say I love you.

When we should have say I'm sorry.

So there is a time for silence

and there is a time for waiting your turn.

But if you know how you feel

and you so clearly know what you need to say,

you know it.

I don't think you should wait.

I think you should Speak Now.

SPARKS FLY

MINE

Oh hello, Chicago, Illinois!

My name is Taylor.

And welcome to the Speak Now World Tour.

You know, I was sitting in my dressing room a little earlier today and...

I heard you guys screaming through the concrete walls of this arena

and I thought to myself...

I thought to myself, nothing says this is going to be an amazing crowd like

being able to hear them screaming through concrete walls.

Man, I just...

I get so fascinated standing here from this view point.

It's an excellent view of everybody here tonight.

And, I can see everyone.

I can see the best friends who came all laid up over there.

I can see you all the way up of the top with the "Swift" light-up sign.

I can...

And, I get...

I get so fascinated by the individual stories in this room.

You know I mean, I just think about the fact that

you guys who made the "Long Live" sign back there.

That must have taken hours.

And everyone here who waited in line

and piled into the same room to be here tonight.

It's just so fascinating to me.

And, I am so thankful because the main story of it all.

The main story line here is that...

Thirteen thousand five-hundred of you

decided to spend your friday night with me.

And I was hoping you would be alright with you

if I would tell you some of my stories.

Are you ready?

Go!
