Transcript excerpt

Go on inside and see what happens before doors open. Come on. This is an exciting week for me. With the album called Dinner Party, I'm able to do things like this. Meet up with a 150 fans. We can have a dinner with all these gifts and stuff going on. Here we no tote bags, full menu, all the rank. Gonna play some music, which I'm very excited about. Some of the old stuff, few of the new ones. Usually really nervous about things like this, but because I'm so excited about the album, I'm very excited about tonight. And I know all the fans will be too. If you're coming to see me on tour, make sure you check out Lyft. If you're in The United States, that is. And if you're in Europe, make sure you check out Free Now by Lyft. See you there.
