“First of all, I love acoustics,” he continued. “It’s just her and a guitar and 90,000 people — and obviously all 90,000 people are singing the song, so she has some support — there’s a lot of unison voices. And she goes from one song to another.
He continued: “To be good in front of 90,000 people with just that, I think you have to be incredible. You have to, number one, have great songs and great lyrics, which she obviously wrote and performed. And then , two, being able to execute them seamlessly on the spot, nothing else to hide it, that was just the highlight of the evening for me.”
