He better. Or else. I may not look threatening, but if anyone knows my abilities, it'll be him. Now, back to aunt brain... are we still waiting?!

Who are you playing as the away team the first week? I'm sure home games bring all the crazy energy, I'll need to experience some of that.

You go way back and I love you for it. As cringe as I may or may not have been.

September is when the season starts, right? I've gotta lock it down, see if you can secure the win first thing.

It is! Glinda definitely has that comedic side to her, so hopefully I'm not too rusty. I've got some heavy competition, that's for sure.

Fine, fine, I suppose it's fair he gets something for putting up with me.

That's what I usually always try to do, and it's typically fine. I think this one situation is just very different for obvious reasons, it's exactly what I expected which is why I wrote the song in the first place. I'm feeling okay. Just avoiding most corners of the internet, my manager and friends send me the things they feel like I should see.

As hard as vulnerable music is to put out, there's someone out there that's going to connect with it and I think that's really special. It's nice they send you the good bits, you deserve to see 'em in a sea of people who want to judge.

You think so? If that's the case, I'll have to come out to more than one, test the theory a little bit. Especially if there's gear involved.

You could say that, sure.

They found themselves the best host ever. Please, never, ever lame. Yes! I'm so excited, it's going to be so much fun. The cast is phenomenal, and it's just going to be such good energy, I can already sense it.

My album made it all the way up to number three on the Billboard charts. That's insane. I could get into why it's making me emotional and I cried once or twice, but hell no. I'm ready to celebrate. Time to pop bottles or whatever the gen z equivalent of that is. I know, I'm the chronically online person that should know that, but I don't. Who's throwing me a party? @sbhqstarters

Three? That's so exciting! Obviously, a party must be had. I don't know if I'm the greatest host, but hey, I can do it for you. Just don't ask me the Gen Z equivalent of anything.

Surely he knew that already growing up with me, or else he has some serious learning to do.

Between filming and promo, fine, you caught me — I'd actually love to come. It'd be nice to have some balance, plus, I need to see how this "keeping your head in the game" goes for you. The next Troy Bolton, if you will.

That's the point of a surprise! I didn't tell anyone, because I was honestly too nervous with this one that it just felt easier to make it a surprise for everyone than have to explain it ahead of time. Now it all sort of explains itself. There's a lot more photos that I'll likely post eventually, once all this calms down some.

That's fair, let the music tell the story, I honestly would rather communicate that way, anyway — especially with things deeply personal. Call it a little journal everyone can hear. How are you feeling about it now, are the nerves any better?
