real life, july 2023.

kylie stood on stage for the last. the applause and cheers roared through so-fi stadium, as kylie took a shaky breath. it was the last she would ever perform on this tour, it was the last of her first time touring. 

the set today felt shorter, but kylie held on to every clap and every shriek from the crowds. she noticed how each show, more people knew her songs. she had 2 songs left, her unreleased and back to december. 

this was it.

"los Angeles, thank you for being so welcoming this weekend. i truly can not wait to be back here, full time. tonight marks the end of my time on the eras tour, and i am so incredibly thankful for the past few months." she paused looking over to her band.

"thank you to my management and team for putting together this incredible band. nyla, our incredible woman on keys. mandy with the beats. and sarah, our wonderful bassist. you girls are family to me, and i can not wait to continue as the coyotes." she smiled.

"thank you to taylor for trusting me to open for her, and seeing my potential. thank you to her fans, you guys, for being so loving. thank you to my friends and family who have supported from day 1. " she inhaled deeply.

"finally, thank you to the boy who inspired my new music. the boy who i am so lucky to be with every single day. the boy who stuck it out when things got tough. you make me feel so alive chris. " there was a roar of screaming, a standing ovation for this. the hard launch, the moment fans had been waiting for.

"with that la, this is true blue."

"you said you wanted to feel alive, so we went to the beach

you were born in august,' 03 in a deadly heat

you say you're a winter bitch, but summer's in your blood
You can't help but become the sunwhen you moved to la, you were spinning out
when you don't know who you are, you fuck around and find out
when you called me from the train, water freezing in your eyesyou were happy and I wasn't surprisedand it feels good to be known so well
i can't hide from you like i hide from myself

now you're moving in, breaking a sweat on your upper lip

and getting pissed about humidity and the leaky faucet

you already hurt my feelings three times
in the way only you could

but it feels good to be known so well

i can't hide from you like i hide from myself
i remember who i am when i'm with you
your love is tough, your love is tried and true blue

you've never done me wrong
except for that one time that we don't talk about
because it doesn't matter anymore
who won the fight?
i don't know, we're not keeping scoreand it feels good to be known so well
i can't hide from you like i hide from myself
i remember who i am when i'm with you
your love is tough, your love is tried and true blue"

"thank you la." she smiled as the cheering grew louder, getting ready for her last back to december.

she savored every moment.

once her set had ended, her eyes were wet from tears. she was so thankful for everything. once she had calmed down, she made her way to the tent where her family and friends were. fans stopped her for pictures, or to give her bracelets, she loved every moment.
