After all three extra-time encounters, two of which were penalties, were played in extra time, England won Euro 2025, but Leah Williamson, the captain, claims they weren’t “lucky.”
The Lionesses defeated world champions Spain 3-1 on penalties in Basel, which gave them the European title they won on home soil in 2022, and the game finished 1-1 after extra time.
They become the first country to hold onto women’s Euros since Germany won six straight between 1995 and 2013.
They defeated Sweden in the quarter-finals and won in the semis late in extra time against Italy in the finals after they also required penalties.
What do you know, exactly? I’m still unaware of it. I’m still in the stage where people say, “This is unbelievable,” and others ask, “did this really happen? ” Manager Sarina Wiegman spoke to BBC Radio 5 Live. “Very happy, very happy, but a little strange. Simply unbelievable.
Williamson continued, “They were not fortunate champions, but deserving ones,” while Williamson claimed there had been a stroke of good fortune in England’s run to glory at Euro 2025.
In a festive atmosphere on the St. Jakob-Park pitch, she told the BBC, “We have ridden our luck, but I don’t think we were lucky.”
“Total disbelief, but I was aware that it was going to occur.” I’ll always say, “right girls, let’s turn it on” at times. Nothing came through for the way we defended as a team. It appeared to be going to be our day.
In the tournament’s knockout stages, England had a lead of just four and a half minutes, all of which came after Chloe Kelly’s late winner over Italy.
Never before did a major women’s tournament have a 120-minute winning streak in any of England’s knockout matches.
England will fight until the very end, according to BBC One pundit Nedum Onuoha. If you don’t put them away, the quality will still shine through in the end, according to the saying.
In a final where they had 22 shots and nearly 65% of the possession, Spain’s players and manager thought luck wasn’t on their side.
Spain’s captain Irene Paredes explained to TVE, “We tried everything, all the different ways, and the penalties didn’t go our way.” In the end, it’s not about who deserves it, but I believed we should have gotten it more.
England had that little bit of luck throughout the entire tournament, they said. We believed we could, but we were unable to do so.
No one believed we would prevail after the opening game, which is fair enough.

Stats can, however, be inconsequential. England always had a plan, despite the poor performance of Sweden and Spain on the spot and Laura Giuliani spilling the ball onto Michelle Agyemang’s feet after 95 minutes of the semi-final with some luck.
Wiegman remarked, “I’m generally calm during the games.” Every game in this tournament has challenged us. We incorporated those who were on board, and how the team recovered from some setbacks, as well as today. That is the most crucial factor.
England’s late winning streak came from off the bench. England had 10 substitute goalscorers and five assists at Euro 2025 thanks to Kelly’s assist against Spain, a total of five goals and five assists.
They ultimately deserved it, according to the statement. They have endured, they have shown resilience, and that mentality, according to Euro 2022 winner Ellen White. It has been incredibly exciting.
Under Wiegman, they have won all four penalty shootouts, if they can’t win in open play.
Jess Carter, the defender, told the BBC, “I didn’t doubt we would win the shootout.” I’m not sure if my nerves would have taken me wrong, but I would have been the next. But I firmly believed that this team would have prevailed.
The unorthodox path taken by England to retain their Euros crown, which began with a haphazard 2-1 defeat to France in their opening group game, amplified the joy on the pitch at St Jakob-Park.
Wiegman kept her guns, avoiding the urge to use Kelly and Agyemang as super-subs in the final and relying on them to have the biggest impact.
Agyemang told the BBC, “It was so difficult coming from a loss in the first game to this.” “Everything happens for a reason,” says the statement.
Williamson continued, “We have players who absolutely adore it.” It’s “absolutely unbelievable” to do it once more.
Carter’s superb performance completes his comeback.

Carter, on the other hand, had a remarkable Euro 2025 journey.
She struggled in the opening game against France, where Delphine Cascarino tore her at left-back and moved her to central defense, but she was exposed in pace and possession in the two early goals conceded.
Following the quarter-final, she was then subjected to racist abuse, and she was benched for the Italy match.
But she then made a superb performance in the final, returning to the starting XI.
“Carter said, “I just couldn’t be prouder.” I’m relieved, speechless, and excited.
“We have demonstrated what we are capable of,” says I want to say a big thank you to our fans, my family, and everyone else who has questioned us and me personally.
We performed it in the sky for our angels.

Ella Toone and Beth Mead’s medals were a way to remember loved ones who had lost at Wembley since the team’s victory in 2022, and they meant more than just footballing glory.
Toone’s father passed away last year, while Mead’s mother passed away in 2023.
We did it for our angels in the sky, Toone wrote in an emotional Instagram story alongside Mead. With us forever, and proud forever.
She also revealed that St. Jakob-Park’s empty seat next to her mother was also there.
Toone remarked, “If that’s not a sign, I don’t know what it is.” Dad, I’m aware that you were there.
The party followed the memories. After the match, Mad strode through the media’s mixed zone while pulling a boombox and a can of lager to Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’.
While consuming a slice of celebratory pizza, Toone claimed that there were times when people believed we were out. However, never.
We knew that the team would win, and so did we. That is our level of self-assurance.
We’re going to enjoy the evening.” I enjoy going to parties.
Even the CEO will participate.
Wiegman said, “I’ll do some more dancing.” I’ll have a drink, but I don’t believe I’ll feel as guilty as the players do.
Wiegman is the dancer whose influence on England’s fortunes cannot be overstated. He is the one who deserves a dance.
Former England international Toni Duggan remarked to BBC Radio 5 Live, “Salina is the most obvious difference.” She describes how the two teams are fighting for one another, regardless of whether they play for 90 minutes or just one minute. I adore following this team because they always do it for each other.

It was intended for England this year.
The only player who epitomizes what it means to be a Lioness, Lucy Bronze, England’s most decorated footballer, was simply in awe of her own volition.
Bronze would not give up despite having a broken tibia throughout the competition. She would not miss this moment as her country defeated the world champions on foreign soil to defend their European title.
The 33-year-old more than fulfilled her role. She finally allowed someone to replace her in England’s penalty-shootout victory over Spain in the Euro 2025 final in extra time, but she only came off when she could no longer run through the pain and tears forming in her eyes.
Sarina Wiegman’s side defied the odds, silenced the skeptical, and triumphed over the odds.
They simply won, without fail.
Getty Images
The men’s 1966 World Cup victory took place at Wembley Stadium, marking the first time an England team has won a significant trophy abroad since Wiegman’s side delivered it at home in 2022.
The Lionesses also became the first senior English team to win the title by coming from behind in halftime, the first time this had ever happened in the women’s Euros.
With her third successive European title, achieved with two countries, it established manager Wiegman as one of the greatest in the world.
Wiegman has won three of her five major finals in a row, which is a truly extraordinary accomplishment.
As she danced with Leah Williamson, letting the mask fall into place as England’s understated and composed leader, she was a little unsure of it.
“I can’t believe it myself, really. How can this possibly occur? I asked. However, it occurred. The team is amazing, in my opinion. She later declared, “I’m so happy.
She was reminded of a workout she was supposed to do by Wiegman’s watch notification at a press conference. She made up a joke that she wouldn’t continue to do that. You now understand why.
In what she called the “most ridiculous and chaotic” tournament of her career, she had already exhausted herself and had experienced every emotion imaginable.
The players had acknowledged how much stress they had put their families under and how they had “almost killed” Wiegman twice.
In Basel, surrounded by gold confetti, and with the soundtrack of Queen’s “We Are The Champions,” England held a commanding lead for just four and a half minutes and 52 seconds in the tournament’s final stages.
England was immediately dismissed before kick-off.
They were actually eliminated before Euro 2025 even started, as Millie Bright, World Cup captain, and Mary Earps and Fran Kirby both retired from the blue.
That would unsettling, surely? That narrative was only strengthened by their humiliating defeat in the opening game by France.
However, England reacted. They advanced to the knockout stages after defeating the Netherlands and Wales comfortably.
They won the quarter-finals with a 2-0 lead over Sweden, and they won. Even though Sweden only managed to score two of their seven penalties, Jennifer Falk, the country’s goalkeeper, was insufficient. England’s team had Luck on their side.
When Wiegman acknowledged that the thought that “we might be returning home tomorrow” had crossed her mind.
Before Michelle Agyemang’s 96th-minute equalizer and Kelly’s 119th-minute extra-time winner, they were 1-0 up again to Italy in the semi-finals.
Spain were the pre-tournament favorites and the world champions, having won 10 games without losing.

Wiegman’s players looked around St. Jakob-Park while the Dutchwoman waved to media in the stands as she was so composed.
She carried her purse around in her hands. She and England had previously been here, and they shared a strong belief.
Spanish media reported that the Lionesses had a good chance at half-time, saying “England can come back from 1-0 down,” and that “Michelle Agyemang will come on,” but doubt persisted.
In 2022, the “super subs” had completed their task. As Wiegman kept the same starting lineup throughout and relied on those who came on off the bench to make an impact, Kelly, Alessia Russo, and Ella Toone all excelled in their roles.
She continued to use the same formula in 2025, renaming the substitutes as “finishers” and entrusting them with the same responsibility.
The squad’s cohesion was evident. Williamson’s action of pushing Agyemang towards fans in response to their semi-final victory was deliberate, as was Bronze’s willingness to play through pain, the players’ response to team-mate Jess Carter receiving racial abuse, and
It is absurd, I tell you. Every time, we regained our complacency. We do, of course, have talented players. However, Wiegman praised the team’s incredible cohesion.
“As well as, the conviction that we can return. The players assert that they are always on their toes and that they never give up.

Before kick-off, the Lionesses’ magnitude was apparent as the cameras turned their attention to the faces in the highest-tier stands.
Prince William, Princess Leonor of Spain, Prince William, Princess Leonor, and Uefa President Alexander Ceferin, all present, were all present.
Watching two of the world’s biggest stars, including Catarina Macario of Switzerland and Catarina Macario of the USA, cheering on their Arsenal and Chelsea team-mates in white, was a global phenomenon with football stars from other countries.
Reece James, an England international, flew out to Switzerland to support his sister, and Mark Bullingham, the head of the Football Association, was there with them.
You can see why Bullingham has already made it abundantly clear that Wiegman, who is contracted until the 2027 World Cup, is “not for sale at any price.”
Wiegman has transformed the Lionesses into a team that is feared in major tournaments and has consistently won with this generation of players, some of whom were at their worst in 2022 and others who were more experienced, like Bronze and Alex Greenwood.
This squad showed they could succeed at the final hurdle, even when many believed they couldn’t, unlike other English teams have done so before.
It was chaos from the first game. It’s incredible to lose your first game and become a European Champion. Football is chaos, Wiegman declared to the TV cameras on BBC Sport while goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse, who had been donating his support, sat down to celebrate with fans while watching from the stands.

It’s special to reach a major tournament final. To reach the final in all five major tournaments at which you have managed is extraordinary.
Only Sarina Wiegman has done it.
After drawing 1-1 with Spain in Sunday’s Euro 2025 final, the Dutchwoman led England to back-to-back European titles.
It meant Wiegman has now won three successive European Championships, doing so with the Netherlands in 2017 and then the Lionesses in 2022 and 2025.
After Christina Theune did it with Germany in 1997, 2001, and 2005, she is the second manager to do it.
“We said we can win by any means and that’s what we have shown again”, Wiegman said after victory in Basel.
Calm, caring and honest – her personality traits
JavaScript must be enabled in your browser to play this video.
Wiegman was born in The Hague – the third largest city in the Netherlands – and was a PE teacher at a secondary school while playing football.
Before retiring in 2003 while expecting her second child, she became the leader of her country. She made 99 appearances.
“From when I first met her, I thought just what a lovely person she was. She excelled in communication. She knew how to talk to individuals”, said former England striker Ellen White.
“Being Dutch, she’s good at being honest. You were reassured by her love, conviction, and conviction. That’s why everyone, as much as they wanted to win for the team, wanted to win for Sarina”.
Wiegman is known for her directness, “but not blunt,” as she insists, and for maintaining a low-key attitude on the sidelines.
She rarely shows her emotions, although she has been sharp in media conferences following a defeat, and funny in others when she is more relaxed.
A new chant by the fans, who replace the word ‘ tequila ‘ with ‘ Sarina ‘ in a song by The Champs, has made her blush in Switzerland.
Wiegman loosened as a result of her age and experience, and she enthusiastically celebrated during England’s tumultuous Euro 2025 campaign, even calling it “in a movie” and telling the audience that “they nearly killed her at least twice.
The 55-year-old even sang a song in Dutch to the players in a post-match huddle last week.
She displays more of her excitement after games than she did before. She’s dancing and singing. When she first came in, we didn’t see that so much”, said midfielder Keira Walsh.
She is probably one of the best managers I’ve worked with, making everyone feel loved.
” It’s a really, really difficult job when you’re in a tournament. She is extremely concerned about the human side.
“Another thing that you notice is how calm she is. It makes a massive difference in the 95th minute when you’re losing 1-0”.
Wiegman has a “range of personalities,” according to defender Alex Greenwood, who manages to balance them well.
She has often been described as a “mum” to the team and Wiegman admits that makes the job hard when she has to make difficult decisions.
For the most part, Beth Mead said, “We know she has our]backs,” adding that.
‘ No matter what Sarina says, you listen ‘

Underpinning Wiegman’s personality is a ruthless desire to win.
She led the Netherlands to the Euro 2017 title and reached the 2019 World Cup final with her home nation, before doing the exact same with England in 2022, 2023 and 2025.
Vivianne Miedema, the Netherlands’ striker, was asked to compare Wiegman and Andries Jonker for Euro 2025.
“Both of them are crazy about football. If I want to talk to them about something, I can call them at 3 a.m.,” she said.
“They both have their own style of training but they both want to see beautiful football”.
Wiegman’s task was clear when she joined England in September 2021. A significant trophy was anticipated.
“Absolutely. I am aware. I come here to bring the next level”, was her response when she was first asked about this at her unveiling in front of media.
She delivered in the space of 10 months.
The stakes were even higher at Euro 2025. Pressure had increased, scrutiny was more intense and England’s opposition were better.
Wiegman’s motivational speeches gained more weight.
“We had a good one before the Italy]semi-final victory] that definitely stood out”, said midfielder Ella Toone.
“Half-time is when you talk tactics but Sarina’s speeches before the games have definitely got us motivated. You can’t help but think of the words she said before the game when we’ve scored too many goals.
” You really hold on to every word she says. You are prepared to go up and fight for each other when she finishes her conversation. She has definitely upped her game with these motivational speeches.
who adheres to her plan as a “pragmatist.”

Netherlands boss Jonker, who managed Wiegman during her playing career, says organisation is a “signature” of her teams.
Former England goalkeeper Karen Bardsley calls herself a “pragmatist,” while Lucy Bronze, a defender, claims she has had to “evolve” throughout her tenure.
But on the surface, Wiegman’s winning formula has remained.
She has instilled a resilience in her squad, and relies heavily on substitutes coming on to change games. She refers to them as “finishers” and thinks that England can get back into games if they are in trouble no matter how late.
Rarely changing her starting XI, Wiegman’s gameplan is gospel. If you don’t stick to her plan, why make adjustments when necessary?
“She knows what her players are capable of and sets them up in a way that plays to their strengths. She knows her best XI and wants to keep them on the pitch for as long as possible”, said Bardsley.
Ella Toone had played her way into the team, and she quickly discovered where Lauren James would be most effective [at Euro 2025] was intriguing.
Tactically, Wiegman has often been questioned.
Does she regularly rotate her players? Are her substitutions too late? Has she solved the conundrum of teams working out how to mark Keira Walsh out of games?
However, it has paid off with Euro 2025.
Following defeat by France, she moved James out wide and added Toone to the team. In the dramatic win over Italy, she replaced captain Leah Williamson with 19-year-old forward Michelle Agyemang, who scored in extra time. She switched defenders Greenwood and Jess Carter in the group stages.
“After the Italy game she was like: ‘ I did]my substitutions] just in time’, which I loved”, said White.
“She watches what is happening. We want something to happen right away, but she has that calming voice that says, “No, wait, let’s see what happens.”
Former England midfielder Fran Kirby says that at some point “it will probably come unstuck” but it’s crucial they maintain a structure, like Wiegman has created.
It has to do with structure and momentum. You’re not going to get all these chances]against Spain] that they have got in previous games”, said Kirby.
The difficult conversations – empathetic or brutal?
JavaScript must be enabled in your browser to play this video.
Wiegman is also ruthless.
She dropped former England captain Steph Houghton in 2022, and told goalkeeper Mary Earps she would not be the number one for Euro 2025.
Her honesty was appreciated by many, but not all.
Midfielder Georgia Stanway said, “Sarina has always been direct, she always says it how it is, whether you like it or not,” and that is something you have to take on the chin.
“Get the people around you that you need and if she gives you some negative feedback then you know that the rest of the staff are going to help you to fix it”.
Before being told she wouldn’t make the cut for 2025, Kirby went from being a starter in 2022 to the fringes of the squad.
The Brighton midfielder announced her international retirement early as a result but says Wiegman learned quickly what style of feedback people could handle.
“If it’s not right for the team, she will be direct with you, regardless of what you are feeling”, said Kirby.
You have that respect for her when you do have that difficult conversation because she gets to know you, though. You know that it’s not personal, it’s just she needs more from you or she needs you to do more for the team.
She simply follows the advice of everyone, regardless of whether you have 80 or five caps. Everyone is treated the same. “
White says they had regular one-to-one conversations when Wiegman first took over and they often discussed analysis on Zoom away from camp.
She communicates with club managers and also goes to events. She’ll always pick up the phone to you no matter what time it is, “added White.
She seems to be very approachable. Yes, she is the manager, but she is a human being. She wants what is best for you. “
Due to her injuries, Bardsley had to retire before appearing with Wiegman, but she kept in touch with her teammates throughout her recovery attempt.
The ex-goalkeeper was given a six-week deadline to return to play and when it was clear she wouldn’t make it, she called Wiegman, who was” very empathetic”.
She has such strong emotional intelligence that I was disappointed. It probably made her selection headache a lot easier but she said lots of nice things about my career. I was just grateful, “said Bardsley.
I’d have preferred to have played with her, she said. She took the time to have a chat and I really appreciated that because she didn’t have to do that. “
Houghton has criticised Wiegman’s treatment of her, but she did not think she received the same treatment.
Writing in her book, Houghton said she felt Wiegman was” pretty brutal “in how she communicated that she would not be part of her squad for the 2023 World Cup.
” We were told we would know the final World Cup squad on Tuesday, “Houghton wrote.
I made an appearance for Nike at St. George’s Park on Monday. When I went back to the changing room, I had a missed call from Sarina. She asked me to go meet her in the canteen after telling her she wasn’t taking me because she didn’t know I was there.
“I found myself wondering if this would have been a face-to-face conversation if I hadn’t already been at St George’s Park. Sarina told me that I probably wouldn’t play for England while she was in charge.

‘ She thrives under pressure, she loves it ‘
Dealing with adversity is nothing new for Wiegman.
She missed the final group game against Northern Ireland because she tested positive for Covid at Euro 2022.
Captain Williamson, Euro 2022 top scorer Beth Mead and regular starter Kirby were all ruled out of the 2023 World Cup through injury.
Within ten days of the start of Euro 2025, she had Earps and Kirby retire, and World Cup captain Millie Bright resign.
Defeat in their tournament opener by France piled on the pressure, and she was tested in a penalty shootout win over Sweden, while extra-time drama followed in their semi-final victory over Italy.
” She has an amazing family behind her so she is able to step away and not think about football. We need it as players, and they do it as well, White asserted.
” She has that balance. She also has excellent technical support in her area so Sarina isn’t burdened.
“But she thrives under pressure. She loves it. She executes her game plans with great care. She doesn’t leave a stone unturned”.
In England’s second group game, it was a must-win game against the Netherlands, but the opposing manager Jonker was aware that Wiegman would not fall apart under the pressure.
“She is very experienced and she knows you cannot always win. She will not panic, she will be quiet in her head and do everything she she has to do”, he said.
“Her knowledge will be useful for her at this time.” It is not a problem for her, but more for everyone around her”.
Wiegman is not afraid to engage in challenging conversations with players, but it’s the most difficult part of the job.
She has to face questions in the media about those situations afterwards, most recently the shock retirement of Earps.
With rumours circling the goalkeeper had withdrawn after being unhappy at falling down the pecking order, Wiegman refused to give out details.
She has the right conversations with the right people, according to Bardsley, but I believe her approach to handling challenging situations is what drives her to share her emotion.
“If she’s not happy about something, she goes straight to the source. She won’t yell at other people before handling the situation before going over it.
” She makes sure these things don’t become distractions. There was the element of truth in her emotions around Earps – saying she was disappointed because she was in her plans.

Bonded in grief and ‘ missing ‘ her girls
Occasionally, Wiegman’s composure is broken – often when arguing with the fourth official or celebrating last-minute goals – but White said she is still calm around the hotel and dressing room.
She obviously raises her voice when she wants to tell you what she’s coaching and what she wants from you, White continued.
“But there are no grey areas. She simply maintains that even keel while not running or going crazy.
Wiegman has learned to enjoy things more and make the most of time spent together with players at major tournaments.
She laughed, but agreed, when it was put to her that she was the ‘ mum ‘ of the squad.
“You know, sometimes I think, “the girls,” that would mean “my daughters” or “the girls” would mean “my team”? said Wiegman.
It’s challenging,” he said. I care about them but at the same time I’m the coach. I’m making these hard decisions so sometimes you should leave that caring up to them.
They are “adult women!” But a mum should care. Sometimes I feel like missing them. Only when it’s urgent or when it’s really necessary, I get in contact with them. “
That maternal role has been important in recent years as midfielder Toone’s father died from prostate cancer, after forwards Mead and Rachel Daly also lost parents.
Wiegman has gone through loss as well. Her sister passed away three weeks before the start of Euro 2022. She kissed a memorial bracelet to celebrate the final.
” We obviously have a deeper connection. We lost two people that were very, very close to us in quick succession, “said Mead.
“Sarina and I are very understanding. Hopefully everyone feels like that and you’re seeing that on the pitch. She has produced that culture.
Toone added:” Sarina has been amazing. She spoke to me before the tournament and throughout the tournament. I am certain that I can reach her if I ever require anything. I’m grateful we have such a good squad. “
Wiegman is “very professional” both on and off the field, according to Kirby, who also enjoys having fun.
She eats with the players at meals, and joins in on games they play while on camp, alongside assistant Arjan Veurink, who gets very competitive at ping-pong.
Miedema once revealed Wiegman brought a teddy bear to Euro 2017 and a coffee cup to the Olympics in Tokyo as they reminded her of home. She won the Euros medal at the 2019 World Cup. These objects were used as motivation and she invited players to bring their own things.
Before the Euro 2025 semi-final, Wiegman did the same, but she kept her cards to herself as she said, “You’ll probably hear after the tournament. “
Bigger Than the Whole Sky, a song by Taylor Swift, was a hit with Marc Maron’s comedy audience, but tacky Tay Tay made sure he paid for it.
Marc Maron has claimed he was charged $50K for permission to sing a Taylor Swift song(Image: Vulture/Youtube)
Comedian Marc Maron has revealed he shelled out tens of thousands of dollars to include a Taylor Swift song in his stand up she. The 61-year-old comic sought permission to sing one of the chart-topping star’s songs during a recent gig.
The singer may have sung Taylor’s song Bigger Than the Whole Sky from her 2022 album Midnights to fans who have seen one of Marc’s stand-up performances. However, Swift’s already substantial fortune was increased by the fact that being able to sing the song was fairly inexpensive.
According to reports, her monumental Eras World Tour led to her becoming a billionaire. She did, however, recently make a significant purchase and return of the masters of her own songs that had previously been sold during a 2019 sale.
After realizing he wanted to sing Taylor’s song while performing it on stage, Marc was content to throw a casual $50, 000 (£37, 000) bouquet her way. Additionally, he revealed that he was only permitted to perform the song for one minute because of this amount, which would require additional fees.
The comedian said, “I think it came out around $50K, around that,” when he spoke to Vulture. I made every effort to tell her the joke. He continued to explain that he first spoke with musician Jack Antonoff, who has worked with Taylor on a number of her albums.

He claimed that Jack Antonoff, who is the co-writer of that song, was “I know enough to text him.” We’re running out of money on this thing, I said, “I don’t know what’s proper or how to do this.” It’s probably going to be in my pocket. Can you talk to Taylor or contact her about this song?
Then, Jack instructed Marc to pay off $50,000 by going to the right channels to negotiate a deal. He responded, “It was doable. We made enough money. The ticket caused the situation to be tight… More money would have been the result if I had gone over the minute.
We couldn’t even allow the special to play out, like. So I formed a band and composed the music’s opening and closing lines. Yes, it only took a minute or two.
Taylor recently bought back the masters of her first six albums – for a hefty fee(Image: taylorswift/instagram)
He added, however, that he “had to include the song because he thought the themes of loss were too too important to ignore.”
He resolutely said, “It had to happen. What do you do if she doesn’t let you use it and then what? That is the real fear. You are unable to perform the part of the special. I was [manifesting] because I thought she would enjoy the song. “
Taylor, who has reportedly purchased the masters of her first six albums for a reported $ 360 million (£267 million), after rival Scooter Braun, who purchased them in 2019 for a reported $ 300 million (£223 million), is not all that shy of making money herself.
The actress, who was hysterically criticizing her fans on her purchase, stated in a letter published on her official website that she is “trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but at the moment my mind is just a slideshow.
“A flashback sequence of all the time I longed for, wished for, and longed for the opportunity to tell this news.” I tried to find it whenever I could, but it always fell through.

After 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away, I almost stopped believing it could ever occur. That is all, however, now. Since discovering that this is actually occurring, I’ve been bursting into joy at random intervals. I’m really allowed to say those things.
“All of the music I’ve ever produced now belongs to me.”

The comedian said, “I think it came out around $50K, around that,” when he spoke to Vulture. I made every effort to tell her the joke. He continued to explain that he first spoke with musician Jack Antonoff, who has worked with Taylor on a number of her albums.

Taylor, who has reportedly purchased the masters of her first six albums for a reported $ 360 million (£267 million), after rival Scooter Braun, who purchased them in 2019 for a reported $ 300 million (£223 million), is not all that shy of making money herself.
The actress, who was hysterically criticizing her fans on her purchase, stated in a letter published on her official website that she is “trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but at the moment my mind is just a slideshow.
“A flashback sequence of all the time I longed for, wished for, and longed for the opportunity to tell this news.” I tried to find it whenever I could, but it always fell through.

After 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away, I almost stopped believing it could ever occur. That is all, however, now. Since discovering that this is actually occurring, I’ve been bursting into joy at random intervals. I’m really allowed to say those things.
“All of the music I’ve ever produced now belongs to me.”
