You got to stop playing with me."
I got to do MetLife Stadium, which is a big deal because I’m from New York.
Seeing her there and seeing her work, it was a surreal moment.
She absolutely deserves everything that she has.
There are a lot of people that are successful…
But Taylor is somebody who deserves everything.
Her success belongs to her.
And she’s just an amazing person.
She’s changed my life more than three times at this point.
And every time she does it, it’s literally out of the kindness of her own heart.

It’s always been out of the kindness of her own heart.
