03:33[00:12] this. The tour is already almost over. We have like four more shows and then it's done. I think it's been like a really really crazy life experience and so much fun. We've learned so much. Feels like we've been doing this for a
[00:28] year but a week at the same time. Like it's been really intense and fun. How I've always felt really comfortable, but now I'm really just like there's zero nerves when I go on stage and it's just like go time and I feel like in the
[00:44] beginning of the tour, I was a bit more like nervous about everything and like now it's just like I go on there, I have fun, I have a great time. I always every day I look forward to the moment we step on that riser and go up there. It's like
[00:59] my favorite part of the day. Yeah. I had I had a bunch of talks with security being like, "Yeah, I got to calm down." And I was like, "All right, okay." That's like my [laughter] favorite thing. You can't catch me. Yeah. If I
[01:12] was the fan, I would die to have an interaction just like a moment where even like locking eyes or something. So, I think I'm very aware of that and I like have their moment and be seen because it's because of you guys. Like,
[01:28] none of this would happen if it wasn't for you. The first show was the first show. Um, there was a lot of trial and error over time. We just got really loose and like we're having fun. We're like screaming Beyonce's name 14 times
[01:41] at a show. Like, we're really just having fun. And now, because it's almost the end of the tour, I try to like be just super in the moment. take the crowd in, look at everyone's faces, and just take it all in cuz it's almost over, and
[01:55] I don't want it to be. Every show there's something special. Like, at one show the crowd is like super fun and super loud. At the next show, I'm like really satisfied with like my dancing or the vocals. And then other shows are
[02:09] just like funny and and, you know, easy. So, Atlanta was special because Danny obviously had her whole family there. And it was super fun to see like all her And it was super fun to see like all her relatives and um New York too because my
[02:24] mom was there to see me perform for the first time which I was so excited about. Yeah. My my mom came my mom after 2 years she finally came to see us perform. She's very busy. She works a lot so she doesn't have the opportunity
[02:39] to come see us a lot unfortunately. But our timing aligned and she was able to fly out with my sister to come see me perform in New York. She came both nights and she was super excited. It like made my year to see her in the
[02:55] crowd. I think she was super excited for me too cuz she's been there for it all and I think it was really surreal to her to like see me be a little pop star.
[03:07] Okay, so we wrapped our show in San Francisco. It was such a fun show and we're gonna do it again tomorrow and be even stronger. Icons, you know how much I love you. Literally from the bottom of my heart. Adore you so much and nothing
[03:21] makes me happier than seeing all of you in person. Yeah. Hope I'll see you. Hi friends. Um yeah, so
[03:33] Um yeah, so I'm sick. I woke up this morning and I I'm sick. I woke up this morning and I felt like I was run over by a train. Everything hurts. I can't breathe. I can't smell.
[03:49] I have my little buddy here so I can breathe a little better. Um, I got sick, which is very unfortunate because tour is almost over. And I was like I literally was like, "Wow, I'm so happy." like I didn't get sick because of all
[04:05] the traveling, you know, we're not sleeping a lot. Um, we're meeting a lot sleeping a lot. Um, we're meeting a lot of people and it's winter. So, I was like, "Oh my gosh, yay, that went well." And boom, I wake up and I'm just like
[04:18] [snorts] so sick. But the good thing is the doctor came today and he gave me medicine. And I'm just going to hope that by tomorrow morning I feel a lot better
[04:32] because we have a show tomorrow and then we're flying back to LA tomorrow night. Quite literally cannot be sick right now. Like doesn't matter how bad I feel. I need to like push it through this because there's just too
[04:47] much happening. Um so yeah, really sucks. It really really does suck. I'm just going to pray that tomorrow will be better
[04:59] that tomorrow will be better and that this is just a little one day and that this is just a little one day cold that will go away. Anyways, that's cold that will go away. Anyways, that's [clears throat] the update from me. Um,
[05:11] it's so spy. Guys, we have two more shows left. I can't believe it. Literally, time flew by so fast. Like I feel like we've just started tour and LA and then tomorrow we're flying to
[05:24] Mexico and then it's done. I I am sad about it, but I'm also excited to rest. about it, but I'm also excited to rest. Everything feels so fast. I got sick and getting over it. It would be just so cool to like feel 100% healthy and like
[05:39] have my energy and everything and like actually give 100% at a performance, which I I'm trying, but like I'm literally recovering right now, so that sucks a little bit, but it's fine. It happens. We're human. I looked at the
[05:54] schedule for next year and I was like, "Holy we have so much coming and I feel like 2026 is really going to be our year." Before that, I'm going home. home. I'm going back home to Switzerland for a couple days, celebrate Christmas
[06:07] with my family, see my friends again, and hopefully I get to like go to Switzerland more often next year. Meeting you guys, getting to hear your Meeting you guys, getting to hear your stories. That's probably the part about
[06:19] tour that I will miss the most. The first thing I'm going to do on tour is done is celebrate with my friends. I feel super loved and supported by them, and I'm just so grateful for them. Like honestly, I'm obviously with the girls,
[06:32] so it doesn't really get boring [music] or I don't necessarily feel lonely, but then. [music] And the fact that they come and see me and love the show and
[06:44] will come like to four or five different shows is adorable to me. Thank you, icons. [music] Happy holidays and happy new year, guys. I love you so so so new year, guys. I love you so so so much.
