"What a truly mind blowing thing you’ve turned The Eras Tour concert film into. I’ve been watching videos of you guys in the theaters dancing and prancing and recreating choreography, creating inside jokes, casting spells, getting engaged, and just generally creating the exact type of joyful chaos we’re known for 😇 One of my favorite things you’ve done was when you supported 'Cruel Summer' SO much, I ended up starting The Eras Tour show with it," she posted on October 19.
