Speaker 3 (00:29):
As Taylor Swift's historic Eras tour came to an end,
the singer saved one last unforgettable moment for the people
who helped make it happen.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Behind the scenes.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
She gathered her crew and casually delivered news that stopped
the room cold, which we saw in the first two
episodes of her docu series on Disney Plus, nearly one
hundred and ninety seven million in bonuses was being handed
out as a thank you, so she actually in the
documentary you see her handwrite.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
She says it took her a couple of weeks all.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
The notes and then she whap sealed every single bonus.
She organized it, and she asked Cam, one of her dancers,
to read the note out loud and how much you
know money it was, and they bleeped out the number.
But people are thinking that the dancers got like seven
hundred and fifty thousand dollars each as a bonus. What
and yeah, and and people were reacting like that, like

(01:19):
one guy said he was about to pass out. Other
people dropped to the floor. I mean, that's life changing money.
The truckers, I know got I'm sure they got different
amounts because I think the dancers got a little bit more,
but I.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Got a hundred they got or something. I but it
made up there made two billion dollars, yes, And of
course she didn't make all that right. A lot of
mouse to feed there, but I mean that's the right
thing to do.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
For sure, for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
But it's just I love the internet because you know,
the clip was posted and it was a sweet moment
and people were like, you do know she gets tax
breaks for that, and like it was just don't be
easily cool to do it, like I mean, and they said.
The dancers were like, this is not We're not used
to being treated like this.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
This is not normal. So don't take that away from
what she was doing.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Other parts of the documentary that really got me when
she was talking about that terrorist attack in Vienna that
they were able to, you know, throw nothing happened, thank goodness.
Also talking about how she privately before one of the shows,
met with the victims of the fatal stabbing of those
little girls who were in that dance class in England,
and she just came.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Out of that meeting just bawling and just.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Saying, you know, I have to hide this when I'm
with them, and but I just you.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Know, it breaks her heart. So that was the most
two powerful moments for me.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
What did you think, Jason, Yeah, I think to go
off that, I think it was just crazy to see
like behind the scenes how she's we're always like she's
always so happy and like into it and whatever, and
to see like she actually has to I have like
pep talks with herself like Okay, this is really heavy,
but when I go up on stage to do the show, like.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
No one needs to liable the clocket.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
I need to be like in it, like no one's
going to be able to sense like a shift of energy. Yeah,
Like she actually has to tell herself that, and I
always thought it was just innate in her like but
like she's not a machine, but she actually, you know,
does have to reinforce positive energy, which was just crazy
for yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
See. She described it as like being the captain of
a plane and saying, like, I can't be unsteady or
nervous about something, the turbulence that's to come. I have
to say nothing we haven't seen before. You know, we're
gonna have a smooth landing, even if that's not the case.
And the first shows after that terrorist possible attack, you know,
she wanted to have everyone feel safe and hide that
she wasn't so I thought it was the first two

(03:23):
episodes were really well done if you saw actress Kate
Winslet's name trending on social and maybe because during a
recent interview, she said that Eminem asked her to shave
his butt while they were doing SNL together back in
two thousand and four. She told Graham Norton, this is
a story I've never told. Eminem asked me to shave
his bottom. Because she's British, she said. She told him,

(03:44):
I'm sorry, I don't do personal grooming. I'm not going
to go in with a bic and get your crack Love,
and that was literally the interaction. And that was the
night that she made her hosting debuts. She says, I
mean she's never been back, said so, I don't know
if that scared her. But you know Eminem before he
got sober, and I don't know if he was sober
on that time, but he was kind of like wild minute. Yeah,
he was a menace and I think he was probably

(04:05):
just doing that to get a rise out of her.
But it was very funny, and she's a funny person
to do it with because she was like, no love,
I don't I don't shavee bots, but there you go.
And Lastie Jackson Wu was at our iHeartRadio jingle Ball
in New York at Madison Square Garden. I have an
epic photo of Jason's little find my Friends icon right
there over the weekend, and he was talking about adjusting.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
To all of his K pop demon Hunter's fame.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
He said, two days ago, I performed Soda Pop in
front of Leonardo DiCaprio. He was like, I was at
an event, he was an honoree and he said that
he knew the song, which is crazy, Like, why does
Leonardo DiCaprio know.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
That my kids love love that song.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Our own Shelley loves the song Soda Pop, So I mean,
I think People and Golden is a banger as well
from that.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
So well, if you're a parent, you're probably forced to
love it because you have to hear it over and
over again.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
Yeah, but Leo is it so that's why you know?

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah, you know the twenty year olds for sure. And
they were trying to ask him are the Saja boys
going to get their own film? He was kind of
coy about it, but I'm sure they definitely could. I mean,
people love that and by the way, to watch all
of the amazing performances Nellie Jesse, Murph Ed Sheeran, it

(05:21):
was amazing. iHeartRadio is partnering with ABC to bring the
iHeart Radio jingle Ball Tour to even more fans across
the country as an exclusive network special. It will be
aired on December seventeenth and the next day on Hulu,
so you can watch all the action there. But it
was really fun to watch from home. So there you go.
