“I would love to tell you this is the best moment in my life. But I feel so happy when I finish a song, or when I crack the code to a bridge that I love, or when I’m filmed performing a music video, or when I’m rehearsing with my dancers or my band, or getting ready to go to Tokyo to play a show,” she said, teasing the start of The Eras Tour in 2024 next week.
“For me, the award is the work. I just want to be able to keep doing this. I love it so much. It makes me so happy. It blows my mind that it makes some people happy who voted for this award. I just want to keep doing this. So thank you for giving me the opportunity to do what I love so much,” Swift said.
