LA N2 let’s go!!!! Surprise song predictions from everyone? #eras #erastour #taylorswift #erastourla #lanight2
The video starts on Laura and Max, sitting in a gradually filling stadium. Laura is wearing a black lace outfit and Max is wearing a button-up shirt and tie, with blood red rhinestones “dripping” from one side of his mouth.
“Alright, you two first. Surprise song predictions?” Emma asks offscreen.
“If she plays ‘I Did Something Bad,’ I’ll knee a cop in the dick,” Laura declares, making Max and Emma both cackle.
The camera refocuses and Max goes. “If she plays ‘Cornelia Street,’ I’ll take Laura on a cruise.”
“Aww!” Laura says, kissing his un-rhinestoned cheek.
“Cute!” Emma says from off camera.
The shot changes to Ryan and his little sister Sarah. She’s wearing a purple blouse and purple heart-shaped sunglasses. He’s dressed normally.
“I’m mainly here to do drink runs,” Ryan says honestly. “The only ones I know by name are ‘my tears ricochet’ and ‘Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve.’ And you said ‘my tears ricochet' is on the setlist, right?” he asks Emma.
“Yeah.”
“Yeah, I don’t have any guesses.”
“You don’t want ‘Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve?’”
“I don’t want to risk crying in public, no.”
Sarah snickers at her brother and the camera focuses on her. “If she plays ‘Foolish One’ I’ll shave Ryan’s head while he’s sleeping.”
“Sarah-”
The shot cuts to Nick. He’s wearing black glasses without lenses, navy sweatpants, and a homemade “Junior Jewels” shirt.
“If she plays ‘tolerate it’ I’m going to cry.”
“Nick, that’s on the setlist,” Emma says off camera.
“I know what I said.”
The shot cuts to Abi and Jacob. She’s dressed in solid black with dramatic dark makeup, and he's wearing a black t-shirt with “Real Men Love Taylor Swift” emblazoned on it in gold letters.
“If she plays ‘The Way I Loved You,’ I’ll let you record me singing it for your TikTok, Em,” Jacob offers.
“If she plays ‘You’re On Your Own, Kid,’ I’ll get a flame tattoo,” Abi says, smiling.
The video cuts to Dylan. He’s wearing an orange and navy flannel shirt with the left sleeve cut short, a couple dozen bracelets held in place by a thick gold scrunchie on his left arm.
“If she plays Lover, I’ll propose to Ryan after the show.”
A beat.
“Dylan, that’s on the setlist,” Emma says slowly.
“Oh, I know,” Dylan winks showily. “What can I say? I’ve loved him three summers and I want ‘em all.”
Ryan appears at the edge of the shot, face not fully visible, holding drinks. “Wait, what-”
The video cuts to Emma in selfie mode. The angle’s far enough away to see she’s wearing a strapless white crop top with jewels along the top.
“If she plays Electric Touch, I’ll go skydiving and vlog it for you guys,” she declares, flashing a peace sign to the camera.
The camera cuts to Kaitlyn. She’s wearing a black bodysuit and knee-high boots.
“If she plays You Are In Love, I’ll cut off Dylan’s other hand.”
“Kaitlyn!” Ryan’s voice sounds from far off camera, nearly drowned out by the others’ laughter.

#stitch with >mountebanking Kaitlyn stands on business damn (& so does Dylan congrats guys!!) #erastour #lanight2 #erastourla
The video opens on Kaitlyn saying “If she plays You Are In Love, I’ll cut off Dylan’s other hand.”
The stitch then cuts to a quiet hotel parking lot. Dylan suddenly runs past, repeating “shit shit shit shit shit!” Kaitlyn then runs after him, still in her concert outfit, arms pumping theatrically as she pretends to try and catch up with him.
The camera then pans to Ryan, standing a few feet away from the cameraperson, face in hands. The camera dramatically zooms in on the sparkling black & gold band on his left ring finger.
