(By Taylor Swift herself?
No…but we digress.)
But enough with the preamble: Heres our full account of Eras Night 2 in Miami.

(Also, Taylor, if you are reading this: Hi, we love you!)
We scream Lover while we stick gems on each others faces and trade friendship bracelets.
Truly, the comradery on this shuttle could end wars.

Florence putting face gems on Irene.
Its all verygirlhood, and definitely has me feeling like were getting ready for a football game together.
O’Connor:Turns out Im not afraid of crowds…Im just afraid of men.
Irene risking her life to swap friendship bracelets with the 10-year-olds next to us.
Kim: Everyone here is so nice.
I muster the courage to talk to the pre-teens in the suite next to us.
We were inspired to get flash tattoos after Taylor herself sportedflash freckles at a Kansas City Chiefs game.
Our ‘Vogue x TS’ and ‘Florene’ friendship bracelets.
O’Connor:Irene spends a good 10 minutes trying to become friends with these 10-year-olds.
Shes giving them friendship bracelets, flash tattoos, and even sunglasses!
I swear, one more heart-hand exchange and she would have given them her credit card.
Irene Slacking herReputationtheories to the editor of Vogue.com mid-concert.
Kim: It was so cute.
Turns out, though, that Gen Alpha doesnt know how to make the Gen-Z heart.
They just make the classic heart, and are confused when I send them a Gen-Z heart back.

O’Connor:True investigative journalism happening over here.
O’Connor:Gracie Abramshas entered the chat.
Taylor Swift performingThe Tortured Poets Departmentin Miami as the Academy Museum gala is happening over in Los Angeles.
Kim: When we saw her last, she mentioned she was surprised that she sold out Radio City.
But tonight she has the entire stadium singing along to 21 and Close to You.
Florence and I also see thebow revolutionthat took over RCMH a few weeks ago in action in Miami.
A million hearts for Taylor Swift. But as the Gen Alpha Swifties have determined, the Gen-Z heart is out.
O’Connor:We spend a lot of her settrying to spot Paul Mescal..but no dice.
O’Connor:Picture this.
But instead of turning against each other in this moment of panic, the Swifites come together.
The last time that these two editors will see Taylor Swift onThe Erastour.
Weve got this, someone cries behind me.
Just pee super quickly!
The text thread between Florence and Irene while Florence waits to enter the bathroom.
There are very beautiful, cotton candy-colored clouds on the stage before Taylor actually comes out.
Also, how do I remember every word of it but none of the pythagorean theorem?
O’Connor:The joy this era brings to me is honestly embarrassing.
I even find myself mirroring the little rock-sway Taylor does with her guitar player.
Our Vogue x TS and Florene friendship bracelets.
I will never feel as much joy as I did when I was 22 years old.
Now Im 26, and there is no song for me to sing along to!
Kim: Taylor seems to be taking her time between the eras.
break before she comes back on stage.
Kim:Reputationis one of Taylors most underrated albums.
But guess whose birthday is on the 21st…

O’Connor:I miss her old1989outfit; it was so much cuter.
I would love to know the thought process behind changing to this skater-skirt situation.
Maybe we should reach out to Tree Paine and ask for comment.
Kim: Agreed, but the skater-skirt is ideal for the Shake It Off choreography.
Kim: Sooooo true, Florence.
Kim: Ah, the album that brought the Florene column together.

Kim: Im sorry!
Ferragamo works hard, but Taylor and Tree work harder, is all I have to say.
O’Connor:We are shocked with not one but two surprises during this set!
First, Florence Welch comes out and performs Florida!!
!but before we even have a moment to react, BOOM, Florene is surprised with birthday cupcakes!
Florence and Irene being surprised with birthday cupcakes during Florida!!!
Kim: Best birthday weekend ever.
How will we top this next year??
With the Austin Grand Prix?
Also, this dress reminds me of theWonderstruck perfume.
Did anyone else wear that when they were in high school?
O’Connor:She absolutely wrecks us by playing loml x White Horse.
loml is so clearly about Joe…maybe she also got the Ferragamo press email and was triggered?
A million hearts for Taylor Swift.
But as the Gen Alpha Swifties have determined, the Gen-Z heart is out.
Kim:Midnightsis the best album to end the night with.
O’Connor:I do not know how this woman does it.
The last time that these two editors will see Taylor Swift onThe Erastour.
There are a lot of children, so we are extra careful to not push and shove.
O’Connor:Leaving a stadium will never not be hell.
All I want is to be back in my cozy Uber Shuttle.
