How are you feeling about the show tonight? So, it's funny. The first time I did it in Portuguese, I felt the most nervous I've been probably in my entire life to do something public. Now I still feel the nerves, right? But it's one of those things where now I'm training the nervousness to be more like excitement. Because it is excitement, right? Uh, and we're just gonna see what happens. It's just one of those things where you can prepare as much as you want But at the end of the day, it's just you and your intuition because you are the one in the arena when you're performing. So I'm freaking excited, to be honest.
