Summary
In this episode, Kate provides personal reflections about the past 21 months of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour fanfare, online and IRL, then reads listener-submitted stories about major moments and memories associated with the tour. Sweet, sentimental, and sometimes sad, but a beautiful reminder of how pop culture and fangirls are so much *more* than meets the cat-eye. Enjoy!

| 0:00.0 | Hi everybody. Welcome back to the Be There in Five podcast. No, this is not the goat from the I knew you were trouble meme for context. |
| 0:27.7 | What are we doing years ago that that was funny to people? I guess we were also like giving money to Coney 2012, |
| 0:38.9 | so what hell do I know? Welcome back to the Be There in Five Podcasts. No, I'm not that I knew |
| 0:43.2 | you were a troubled goat. I ironically lost my voice for Taylor Swift related reasons. |
| 0:50.0 | It's the end of an era and the start of an age. |
| 0:57.0 | And I'm going out with a bang. And by that, I mean my vocal chords took quite a hit this past week as I attended Vancouver |
| 1:05.1 | Night 3. |
| 1:06.1 | And then I separately had a track 5 I had planned a long time ago. |
| 1:09.7 | And track 5s, they're like these |
| 1:11.9 | they're like my podcast live shows, but for some of them will do like a three and a half hour |

| 1:44.9 | weekend, I keep trying to record this. And it's like just not coming back fully. And then it's one of |
| 1:49.1 | those things, the more than I record, the worst it gets. So I don't know. Anyways, welcome to be |
| 1:54.6 | there on five this week. Well, I will do my best. And I'm sorry if my voice is bothering some of you guys. I also was like, you know what, it's a little bit funny to go out of our era's era. |
| 2:06.9 | And, you know, while Taylor Swift can perform three, four nights in a row for three hours and 11 minutes each and sound perfect each time. |
| 2:19.5 | I can't scream singing her songs at one show and then like chit-chat for a few hours |
