Now — Purple flowers and flares of pink light obscure the view then fade to show the main stage again. Whispy cursive letters appear 𝒮𝓅𝑒𝒶𝓀 𝒩𝑜𝓌. The letters evaporate as the middle of the screen rises, revealing Taylor standing amidst the fog. She wears a ball gown with a teal two skirt that gradually fades from pale lavender to a darker purple. Taylor slowly steps forward as she lifts her microphone

There I was again tonight
Forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tired, lonely place
Walls of insincerity
Shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face
All I can say is it was
Enchanting to meet you

She walks down the stage

Your eyes whispered "Have we met?"
Across the room, your silhouette starts to make its way to me
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks
Like passing notes in secrecy
And it was enchanting to meet you
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you

Behind Taylor, dancers fled on stage in similar
lavender dresses with flowing skirts

This night is sparklin'
Don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushin' all the way home
I'll spend forever wonderin' if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

As Taylor stands on the raising platform in the center of the diamond stage, she points out at the audience. The dancers circle around her with ballet steps as they hold their skirt out of their sides

This is me praying that
This was the very first page
Not where the storyline ends
My thoughts will echo your name
Until I see you again
These are the words I held back
As I was leaving too soon
I was enchanted to meet you

Please, don't be in love with someone else
Please, don't have somebody waiting on you
Please, don't be in love with someone else
Please, don't have somebody waiting on you

This night is sparklin'
Don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck
Blushin' all the way home
I'll spend forever
Wonderin' if you knew

This night is flawless
Don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck
Dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wonderin' if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

Backup singers

Please, don't be in love with someone else
Please, don't have somebody waiting on you

Taylor smiles and bows her head.

In the audience, a few fans jump up and down. Spots of purple light float over the diamond stage, Taylor stands at its center. Someone hands her a guitar

She lifts her hair out from under her guitar strap then strums the blue guitar adorned with a koi fish pattern. She steps closer to a stand-mic

I said remember this moment
In the back of my mind
The time we stood with our shaking hands
The crowds in stands went wild

The audience cheers

We were the kings and the queens
And they read off our names
The night you danced like you knew our lives would never be the same
You held your head like a hero

The backup singers and musicians arrive

On a history book page
It was the end of a decade

They form a line with Taylor

But the start of an age

She briefly raises her strumming hand

Long live the wells we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming "Long live all the magic we made"
And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered

I said remember this feeling

The group stands on a raised platform

I pass the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there
On the sidelines wishing for right now
We are the kings and the queens
You traded your baseball cap for a crown
When they gave us our trophies
And we held them up for our town

And the cynics were outraged

Taylor mimes, shocked

Screaming "This is absurd"
'Cause for a moment a band of thieves in ripped-up jeans got to rule the world
Long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming "Long live all the magic we made"
And bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraid

Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
I was screaming "Long live that look on your face"
And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered

Taylor grins joyfully

Hold on to spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break our fall

Moving her guitar aside, Taylor grips her mic

Will you take a moment?
Promise me this, that you'll stand by me forever
But if, God forbid, fate should step in
And force us into a goodbye

Backup singers vocalize

If you have children someday
When they point to the pictures
Please tell them my name

She swings the guitar back around

Tell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them how I hope they shine
Long live the walls we crashed through
I had the time of my life with you
Long, long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
And I was screaming "Long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders

I'm not afraid
Singing long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
And long, long live the look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day
We will be remembered

Fans applaud along with Sabrina and cheer, the lights on their wrists glowing purple.

With the skirt of her ballgown gathered up in one hand, Taylor glances over her shoulder as she walks into a purple mist
