Speaker 2
So this is my memory of you reaching out to me and now I'm going to insert my little magical story, but you reaching out to me and you said, I've been listening to your podcast like all night and all day and all night. And I finally had to reach out to you. So yes, yes, it all, it all tracks. I did not think you were going to write me back.
Speaker 1
I know that sometimes people write me back because I'm who I am, but like, I just was like, this woman's so important in this world. Like, why would she read this? Well, here's the thing. I don't even see
Speaker 2
a lot of the DMS that I get. But the reason that this like, I'm not going to spend too long on this, because this is very self indulgent to get into this part of the story. And it's not part of her pain story. But the but it is part of magic. And the thing is, it is because the exact person that I reached out to, had reached out to me or exactly. Yeah. And like, but also there was like another part of it. So, so basically there is a, a part of this like world that when Lisa and I are talking about miracle stories, quote unquote, what we say is I give you what you want. So you'll want what I give. And what that means is I'll give you a little magical story that happened between me, my daughter and Rachel Platten because it's like divinity at work because what I'm giving you is a lot of hard work. And if so, so I'll give you some inspiration. I'll give you a little fun thing to listen to because what I'm really asking you to do is hard. It's hard. And so I'm going to take very quick time to do this because I know there's so much more for us to get to. When Charlotte Sachs was, I'm going to call it eight, nine years old, however old she was, when Fight Song and that whole tour you were on, you had a tour in Philadelphia. And it was her birthday present slash Christmas present, whatever time. It was that time of year. And we got the concert for the spring. And it wasn't the Taylor show.
Speaker 1
It was like my show? You were alone. I wasn't opening. Okay. Okay. You
Speaker 2
were alone and you were playing like not a tiny venue, like big enough in Philly. And we waited out for hours and hours because we wanted to be right up front because she was so little. And we made a huge sign that said like, whatever, Rachel, I love you, whatever. Love Charlotte. Okay. Yeah. And I brought her and she was beyond. You were like the sun, the moon, and the stars to her. We had already been to another one of your shows at when you played with Christina Perry. And Colby Clay. Yes. Okay. So we'd already been to that, but now this was like the Rachel Platten alone show. And we get there and you were really sick. Yes. You were so
Speaker 1
sick. I was so sick. You had the flu. You had lost your voice. Because I was on like a three-month tour that had started and no one gave me a break and my voice was gone and it was terrifying. You
Speaker 2
were so sick. So now you're backstage and the concert is late to begin. And I don't remember if it was like on social media or someone came out and announced and they're like, Rachel's really doing her best to be ready. But like basically maybe the concert is going to happen. Maybe the concert isn't going to happen. And you came out and the poor girl had no voice. And you came out and it was like honestly like really fucking beautiful because you were like how can i put out this song fight song like how can i put out this music and not come out and like fight to be here with you and you really truly had laryngitis you could barely sing and you sang part of the songs and i made the audience you would put the mic out into the audience and we were screaming for me and I was singing them for me and with my back that I'm not supposed to lift which we all know that that doesn't apply to me but there's just a beauty in the moment that I take this seven-year that weighed like you know 60 70 pounds however much and I held her over my head and she held up the sign that said like Rachel I love you okay So later on that evening, cause we had a great time at the concert and you made it through. And later on that evening, you posted to Twitter, which I don't even think either of us like remembered after, but you posted to Twitter, like Charlotte, like, I love you. Thank you for that support. Yes. Yes. And I looked at it and I was like you got to be fucking kidding me is that to my kid it was because that little
Speaker 1
girl I remember her I can't it's like blurry but I remember that that night there I felt held up and buoyed by support and I remember her name because it was right because we held up that
Speaker 2
sign yes and so the magic and
Speaker 1
she was so cute. Like she was so cute. It was hard to ignore that face.
Speaker 2
She's a cutie. She's the cutest. And what was really magical about your DM is that all those years later, Charlotte and I were planning a move to LA. Okay. So this is a year and a half ago. And she was really scared because she had lived in one place since she was two and were in the car two days before you DM'd me. And she said, apropos of literally nothing, did Rachel Platt never have a second baby? And I said, I
Speaker 1
don't know. I didn't know this part. Yeah. I think you told me and I was in too much pain
Speaker 2
to understand. Yeah, you were really – it a hard moment for you. But she said that to me. I remember exactly where we were at, what light we were at. And I said, I don't know. I said, we can look it up. And I said, but you know, I really think Rachel Platten is in LA and you never know, Char. You never know. Because if you're brave enough to, I could cry. If you're brave enough to make this move, you never know what happens to you and she was like 13 or 14 and she was so scared and i just and she was kind of like yeah i guess and two days later you dm'd me i know these are like i can't not i know i can't not tell like how magical that was so when I saw your DM, I was like, no freaking way because it just, it
Speaker 1
all, you know, it was so, Oh my God. It's so beautiful to hear. I remember you trying to tell me how excited you were about that. And I was like, yeah, yeah. What are you talking about? I am not okay. I'm so happy your daughter likes my music and I don't think I'll ever sing again. I can't even stand up, Nicole. Okay. So
Speaker 2
now that I've been completely self-indulgent in my personal
Speaker 1
– right. I think that actually – that kind of magic like – It matters. It matters because I remember hearing stories from like other people like Mouse or something. I think there was some kind of magical thing that happened. I don't remember. Some of the stories – There's so many. They bring hope. Yes. There's something about it that feels like, oh, there's something larger than me that could be loving and protecting me. Exactly.
