(CHUCKLES)
Merci.
Ah, thank you so much.
Wow.
I think we're gonna have
some fun tonight.
I really do.
So, uh, like I said before,
I, uh ‐‐
I had an album called "Lover"
that just came out.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
And, honestly, it's been
one of the most
wonderful experiences
of my entire life.
Thank you so much
for caring about this album,
for listening to it,
and for wanting to be here,
uh, so that we could have ‐‐
In my mind, I look at this
as, like, a party,
like a release party, you know?
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
And on this album, you know,
I've always found love
to be a really fascinating thing
to write about.
But with this album,
I just decided to
really just go
into every aspect of love
that I find fascinating
right now.
Like, with my songwriting,
I've always wanted to
take a moment, like,
a snapshot of a feeling
and explore that feeling.
And, uh, one of the songs
on the album that I love
and feel like really sort of
encapsulates
the complexity
of falling in love
is the feeling of fear
that goes along
with finding something really
good in your life, you know?
(CROWD CHEERS)
I think that, uh, if any of us
have ever been let down before
or we've ever felt like maybe
we can't trust a good feeling,
um, that's what I wrote
this next song about.
It's, uh ‐‐
It's called "The Archer."

So, uh, a lot of these songs on
this album that just came out,
I have never played live before.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
And, you know,
I was thinking about it.
I was thinking about
what would be...
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Just ignore that.
That's nothing.
There's nothing there.
I was thinking about
how it would be ‐‐
how I'd really like to play
some of these songs
for the very first time,
and I was thinking maybe ‐‐
maybe the best way to do it
would be
just playing the songs acoustic,
the way that I wrote them.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Is that alright?
So, uh...
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
WOMAN: We love you!
With this album, you know,
everything on it
is something that I wrote with
one instrument, starting out.
Like, either I would
write it on guitar
or I would write it on piano,
and, um, so I figured, like,
why not try out
singing some songs
for the very first time live
here tonight at L'Olympia?

Oh, my God. That's so fun,
singing these new ones.
Well, there's ‐‐ Wow.
Okay, so, is it okay
if I keep playing new songs
acoustically?
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Cool. I just had to check.
(CHUCKLING)
Um, there's another song.
There's a song that I wrote
on this album that, um...
MAN:
(SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY)
(LAUGHTER)
There's a song that I wrote
on this album alone,
and, um, I think I wrote
this song actually, like,
while I was in the bathtub,
so ‐‐ but I ‐‐
anyway, just for context.
But a lot of the time,
I'll write songs about, like,
nostalgia and a lot of memories.
I like to go back over memories.
It's almost like, you know,
I use songs
almost like photographs
so that I can go back
and remember a time
and remember exactly what
it was like to experience it.
Um...
And, uh, this is definitely
one of those nostalgic ones.

So, like we've been
talking about all night,
this album is about
all different types of love,
all the different facets
of love.
Love is so many things.
Love is chaos.
Love is madness.
Love is joy.
Love is, in my opinion,
equality.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
And anyone who disagrees
with that, in my opinion,
needs to calm down.

So, uh, I think if I had to,
uh, pick a song
that is probably my favorite
one that I've written
at this particular moment
in time,
I would have to say that
it's the next song
that I'm about to play.
I wrote this one ‐‐
I wrote this one alone.
In the middle of the night,
I got this idea,
and I was just, like ‐‐
I just went to the piano,
like, sort of stumbled over
to the piano, sat down,
and this song just happened
so quickly.
And, like, it's moments
like that in songwriting
that keep it my favorite thing
to do in the world,
'cause it keeps it magical,
and it keeps it mysterious.
Like, I just love those moments,
and, um ‐‐
and then seeing this song
go out into the world
and I'm watching, like,
people sway to it
and fall in love to it.

Merci.
Ah, thank you so much.
Wow.
I think we're gonna have
some fun tonight.
I really do.
So, uh, like I said before,
I, uh ‐‐
I had an album called "Lover"
that just came out.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
And, honestly, it's been
one of the most
wonderful experiences
of my entire life.
Thank you so much
for caring about this album,
for listening to it,
and for wanting to be here,
uh, so that we could have ‐‐
In my mind, I look at this
as, like, a party,
like a release party, you know?
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
And on this album, you know,
I've always found love
to be a really fascinating thing
to write about.
But with this album,
I just decided to
really just go
into every aspect of love
that I find fascinating
right now.
Like, with my songwriting,
I've always wanted to
take a moment, like,
a snapshot of a feeling
and explore that feeling.
And, uh, one of the songs
on the album that I love
and feel like really sort of
encapsulates
the complexity
of falling in love
is the feeling of fear
that goes along
with finding something really
good in your life, you know?
(CROWD CHEERS)
I think that, uh, if any of us
have ever been let down before
or we've ever felt like maybe
we can't trust a good feeling,
um, that's what I wrote
this next song about.
It's, uh ‐‐
It's called "The Archer."

I was thinking about
how it would be ‐‐

maybe the best way to do it
would be
just playing the songs acoustic,

WOMAN: We love you!
With this album, you know,
everything on it
is something that I wrote with

write it on guitar

why not try out
singing some songs
for the very first time live
here tonight at L'Olympia?

But a lot of the time,
I'll write songs about, like,
nostalgia and a lot of memories.
I like to go back over memories.
It's almost like, you know,
I use songs
almost like photographs
so that I can go back

Um...
And, uh, this is definitely
one of those nostalgic ones.

So, uh, I think if I had to,
uh, pick a song
that is probably my favorite
one that I've written
at this particular moment
in time,
I would have to say that
it's the next song
that I'm about to play.
I wrote this one ‐‐
I wrote this one alone.
In the middle of the night,
I got this idea,
and I was just, like ‐‐
I just went to the piano,
like, sort of stumbled over
to the piano, sat down,
and this song just happened
so quickly.
And, like, it's moments
like that in songwriting
that keep it my favorite thing
to do in the world,
'cause it keeps it magical,
and it keeps it mysterious.
Like, I just love those moments,
and, um ‐‐
and then seeing this song
go out into the world
and I'm watching, like,
