You don't? I'll take your advice for that one then, baby. Maddie says that I'm too much of an old man to be online anyway. So maybe I should listen to all the women in my life. Oh, you only want to see my face on screens? But you can see it in person. But okay, no breaking up with me. I forbid it. Cute that you think that I need to my trainers - I think that I could outrun easy her easily. I've got long legs, babe. You don't have to worry about me. Think those thoughts and keep them for when we see each other next. You're so kind, Gracie Madigan. I appreciate it. It's not cheating - it's using things to my advantage. Which I think is allowed. Just pack for good weather and plenty of bikinis. Or I'll book us somewhere private so you don't have to use those. I'm a genius, actually. A whole ten days? Damn, babe. I can't wait to see you, then. If you're planning on coming to see me. I'll make sure to make my trailer extra cozy for you. I'm sure that everyone will love to have you on set, too. Mhm, I think I'll deal cause I'll just be seeing your cute face.

you should always take my advice, drew. i'm almost always right, didn't you know? too much of an old man? that's funny. if madelyn's right, it sounds like you might have a few tendencies that i've yet to learn about you. well, not only on my screen. i very much like seeing it in person, too. but not everyone has that perk now, do they? you forbid it? hm, i'll allow it. you think? i think you should wear your trainers, just in case. is this what i'm going to walk into when i visit? you running for your life? because that sounds like an interesting time. it's cheating adjacent, babe. but worry not, hints or not, she's going to like you! good weather and plenty of bikinis? i suppose i can manage that. if you want my input though, then somewhere private sounds nice. super big genius, you are. mhm, ten. but perhaps count it as eight. i need to nap for at least 48 hours after this little festival era i've been living through. after that's out of the way, then i'm all yours. because i really can't wait to see you, too. aw, baby, you don't have to do that. if all else fails, then i'll just borrow a couple of your sweaters and be super comfy. are you sure? i don't want to get in the way. hm, that's very sweet of you to say. i will still be pouting at you to get my own way, just so you know.

Chronically online? Mhm - maybe that's what I'm going to do once OBX is finished filming. Just because one of those people. Who needs to work again? I can just follow you around. Become one of those weirdly obsessed fans. Or would you break up with me if I did that? Maddie could never kill me. She loves me too much for that. Although she might just slap me. And not in an enjoyable way, either. Although spanking is reserved just for you. Okay, baby. For you - I'll grow my hair back. I'll start now and tell them to create a wig or bald cap for me. Won't be weird at all, right? She does? That's somewhat of a relief. Thought I was going to have a hard time with her. How should I win Audrey over? It's a surprise - you're not allowed to know until we're at the airport. Mhm, sure. It wasn't you. I'll believe that... although come to visit? When are you planning on doing that? Cause I miss you. Pouting? Diabolical. You know I'll give into anything you want when you do that.

very much so. it was a weird time - i'm not sure if i'd recommend the whole chronically online thing, to be honest. okay, don't joke about that. the idea of your pretty face disappearing from our screens is too sad to think about. so yes, i'd totally break up with you if you did that, babe. hm, does she? i think you'd be testing that love if you stole them. and i kinda like you in one piece, so if you try it, please make sure you have your running shoes on. oh. just for me? hm, now i'm thinking thoughts. rude. oh gosh, no bald cap please. i can be patient and wait until you wrap for you to grow it out - i'm generous like that. she does, i'm pretty sure. why'd you think that? sorry, babe. i can't give you any hints on how to win her over, that would be cheating. you've got this. but if i don't know then how will i pack? drew, please. you will be giving me hints. well, i have two more festivals and then i have a whole ten days off - so much free time, i know. and i miss you, too. so, maybe i can spend those ten days hanging out with you in charleston? i promise i won't be entirely distracting. just a little bit. mhm, i know. that's the point. sorry to use it against you like that, baby.

You are very special, Gracie Madigan. I think you're been patient with me, too. We've both had things that we've needed to sort through and figure out... and I still think there's things that we need to. But more so together, now. No change in hell you say? Damn, that's quite upsetting. I have a feeling that she's going to be perfectly fine with me using them. Especially if she doesn't know I have. I can be sneaky about it. Oh... now you've got to tell me these other reasons, princess. Everything? Mhm, all in good time. Yeah, pretty sure but you know what? I think that's fine. As long as most of your friends like me then that's all I can ask for. Of course I'm making plans - you deserve to have some proper time off with how hard you've been working lately. Oh. I knew it. You agreed to be my girlfriend to spend time with my pup. I should have known. I'm calling you out on that, baby.

so are you, joseph andrew. i know. working through them together feels a lot nicer than doing it apart, though. hm, sorry to disappoint you like that! i was super chronically online for a time there and even i didn't know all of the lore, so you haven't got any chance. but it's cute that you want to try. babe, if you take them without her knowing, then i'm going to fear for your life. like, she may kill you. and she'd be right to do so, i'm sorry to say. hm, well, i do enjoy having something to pull on when you're going down on me. so, grow it back please. hate feels too strong a word - i just doubt that, okay? the rest of my friends will adore you. taylor likes you, you really just have to win over audrey now. that's adorable of you. are you going to tell me what these plans involve, or is it a surprise? guilty. that's the entire reason that i agreed. if your pup goes missing after i visit, then it wasn't me. you don't wanna do that - i'll just pout at you until you stop.

That's what friends are for right? We gotta play into each others delulu sides. Just goes to show that he was down bad for you and I love that for you, baby. He seems like a good guy, really. Of course I trust you - but now you've got me curious about who you're thinking to set me up with. Can I have at least a little bit of a hint? Maybe all my friends are just going to be my match makers. Give me options.

i think so. some would argue that friends are there to do the opposite, but i would disagree. i suppose he was. which is crazy and a little hard for me to believe. but well, i'm learning not to question good things that happen. you can't have a hint, because i have to think this through carefully first, t. i could always set you up with charli again - make you two have a second date. hm. as if you wouldn't have options without your friends playing match maker.

sometimes i think people are incapable of it? i don't understand it but its okay. i know, it's hard to disappoint anyone. but you do have to stay true to who you are! sappy songs can be good and i think the world could use some cutesy stuff. i do love to do that! i will not spoil any surprises. wait, you are going to stick around for it? taylor is going to be here too for them! oh, this just made me so happy!

right? if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all, right? i think a few people online could use that reminder. and maybe a little memo that we have feelings, too. like, all that discourse over your album cover? gosh, people missed the point and carried on. mhm, true. well, maybe your new album is going to provide some sap too, right? with all the inspo that you have. you were so good tonight, sabs! that cover of it's raining men? your lower register is everything. i won't be able to make it tomorrow, but i'm there in spirit cheering you on, okay?

And it's also one of my favorite hobbies too. When you find a good egg in the sea of many, you kind of just have to cling to one another is what I say. I do, and I'm forever grateful for you! Ahh, you're way too sweet! I've really got to thank my team for making me look presentable at every show, honestly. Which by the way, you did an amazing job being my apple girl. I've got a few more festivals to perform at this summer, but I'm just taking it easy in between and stayin put in Europe. What about you though? Doing anything fun?

oh, that is just so true! i hope you're prepared for me to cling onto you forever, okay? oh, stop. it's all you, girl. hottest girl in the world, for real. thank-you! it was so much fun being your apple girl, babe. and i didn't even mess the dance up once. so, claps for me, right? taking it easy is what you deserve. are you back home? or getting a little vacation moment in there? oh, same same. i'm in europe for another week or so for a few festivals and then it's back to the states for the next leg of tour. i have a few days off in between, so i'll probably just take the biggest nap of my life and maybe go annoy my boyfriend on set or something. super fun riveting times over here!

If you feel like he was, then he was, baby. Just because you weren't officially dating... you've had a thing going on with him for a long time, right? As long as he's treating you the way you're meant to be then yes, I like him. The second he puts a toe out of line is when I'll not like him. My sex life... doesn't exist too much unless you're counting my hand. The accent really is something and there's so many of them. It's hard to keep track.

you really play into my delulu side, you know? i'd be lost without you. yeah, a long time. i don't know how he was so patient with me while i figured my head out. but i'm glad that he was. i love you. mhm, we can't count your hand. perhaps i need to start setting you up on blind dates. do you trust me like you did hayley? love a little accent, honestly.

Only the really special people get the sappy side out of me. Dreamed me up, huh? Mhm - I like the sound of that. Makes me sound like a real good man and such. Hyping me up real good there, baby. Never learn it all? That just sounds like a challenge now and I need to learn everything. Ride for Taylor - alright, bet. I'll stan her and shit. Right after stanning you. I'll just borrow Maddies extensions and create hair. Get you to tape it in. It'll look great. Then I can wear all the pretty bows. Mhm, interesting. Can't wait to see how creative we get. I'm glad that you've allowed me to get to know you, Gracie. Because you've changed my life in the best way possible. You're the first person that I've properly let in, too. You're going to win them over easily. Don't even worry, beautiful. I'm going to have to win over your friends, too. Although I'm pretty sure one of them will forever hate me. Oh, yeah? I think I would be a completely oblivious idiot if I didn't notice that you liked me. We will - although I think you might be done with touring before I'm done with filming so maybe a weekend trip? I'm making plans to take you on a proper vacation when you're done touring, too. You need to have some relaxation time. But babe... I also think that they're feathery friends. Not furry.

does that make me really special then? mhm. it's like the universe did her big one with bringing you into my life, i think. you are a good man. not many people would have been as patient with me, as you have been. babe, you haven't got a chance in hell of learning it all. but i'll watch with interest to see you try and rise to this challenge. good, good. stanning us is the most important fact obviously. stop, you're ridiculous. and how is madelyn going to feel about you borrowing her extensions? these things are important to us girls, drew. she might not want to donate to the cause of allowing you to wear bows in your hair. you'll just have to grow it back out, when you're done with obx. and i'm not just saying that you should do that for other reasons at all. am i? well, i'm honored and so grateful that you chose to let me in, babe. i want to learn everything that there is to know about you, honestly. i hope so. at least i'll have brooke on my side, if it goes sideways. oh. forever hate you? no, no. i doubt that. some things just need time, y'know? hm, that is true. i don't think i was very subtle about it. a weekend trip to see our penguin friends sounds lovely. you're making plans, huh? that's cute. i'll just come crash in your trailer and hang out with your dog until you're done with filming - that's the most relaxing thing i can think of. a vacation with you when we're both free, sounds lovely. i can't wait to see all these plans of yours. pfft, don't call me out like that. feathers. fur. same, same.

that is something that we both know. so we just have to keep on going even with the crap other people say. right! yes and i'm glad that you are listening to it. you are welcome and i just don't want to see you be pushed into that box. i get it and it's hard to disappoint people but you won't disappoint everyone. that's something to remember! i know it shocked everyone! i think i'm just full of surprises honestly.

we do. but also, gosh, would it be hard for people to be nice? hm, this is all very true, sabs. i just hate to disappoint anyone. but at the end of the day, i would like to think that my fans will be happy that i'm happy. and they'll just have to get used to a sappy song about a boy here and there. that's what i hope for, at least. you sure are. you keep us all on our toes. have you got anything up your sleeve for hyde park? i'm going to stick around for a few days, so you best believe that i'll be there watching.

Shhh, you're just being super sweet and I can't deal! Always have your back, by the way. Yeah?? Can't wait for tomorrow, the way I've been so pumped for this. I'm feel nervous but also ready for it. I don't know about it being iconic, but I can try, right?

i try to be. hyping my girls up is one of my most favorite hobbies. i know that you do. and in this world, and industry, i'm so grateful for that. i hope you know that i have yours right back, too. you were so incredible! like, first of all - how are you so hot? every time i see you up on stage i'm stood there damn near drooling. and yes, you totally hit the iconic part. but you always do. what's next for you? are you taking some time off, or is there another performance calling your name?

And yet - you're only dating one of us because excuse me - your Drew? That's some new developments. What the hell did I miss? Gracie - I did just say that. It's important that my friends are having a good sex life. If I'm not then I need others around me to. I'm glad to hear that he knows how to get you off. Of course you don't - that's very on brand for most people that I know. Yeah, apparently I have this magnet that attracts British people or something. Even if it's for dates I don't set up. She wouldn't, thankfully.

well, i suppose it was kinda wild to say my drew before we were dating. but i don't know - it just felt like he was, ya know? you like him though, right? i don't think i ever really asked you. i hope that you do! wait .. your sex life isn't good right now? if that's what you want, then i support it. but also, i'd support you having a roster. a magnet that attracts british people is so funny. but i get it. there's something about a nice accent, right?

exactly! i hope that they only have amazing things to say about you. i feel the same! it really is such a compliment! i love that it's coming from a happy place. i get that people expect sad girl pop from you but that's not all you can do. don't let them put you in a box! if you want to write something happy, go for it! i really did just walk right into it! i know and either way the album comes out in august. so the wait won't be a long one.

i wish that could be the way it is. but sadly, i think we both know that you'll never make everyone happy enough that you only have amazing things said, right? i know, i know. and i love this pep talk - i think i needed to hear it, actually. thank-you, sabs. i won't let myself be just the sad girl. i just don't want to disappoint anyone. does that make sense? you did do us impatient girlies a solid by dropping a new album so soon. it was so unexpected, but the best news.

You might think that it's a silly name but I happen to think it's beautiful because it's your name. And I'll keep saying it until you love it, Gracie Madigan. I'm alright with sounding silly. I've been doing some research - needing to know all the fan lingo so if people see me and want to talk then I don't seem like a completely useless buffoon. Am I going to be running around with bows in my hair? Cause I'll do it. Pick out some pretty ones for me. I'm sure that my fans are going to love you. Are you saying that I'm not creative? Shit - need to step up my game but can't wait for you to show me. You're the only one I want to do anything with, for the record. Nicer, huh? It's just about taking the time to listen to what you're saying - feel like it's bare minimum there, baby. I've got two sisters and a brother. I'll make sure to tell you since I feel like you won't run away now. Mhm... girlfriend. If you want to talk about it but I've been talking to Maddie and she asked why we aren't together and it felt like a very valid point. If you're happy with me saying you're my girlfriend then... that's what I want you to be. We'd have to go and update the penguins, though. Feel like they were very invested.

that was awfully sweet of you to say, drew. who knew you had this lowkey sappy side to you? i like it. i almost feel like i've dreamed you up sometimes. oh, babe, please - you could never sound like a useless buffoon. and trust, you will never learn it all. but it's so darn cute that you're learning the lore. as long as you know we love taylor and we ride for taylor, then the fans will be fine. um, i hate to be the one to break this to you .. but what hair? perhaps when you're done with rafe and can grow it again, you can run around with all of the pretty bows. i'll pick some out for you. no, no. you're plenty creative. they're just next level, ya know? we both might need to up our games, honestly. mhm, right back at you. i think you've been the only person i want to do anything with, for quite a while. yeah, the best. i know it's bare minimum, but i don't think anyone has before. not to say they haven't tried, i'm sure they did. but i feel like you're the first person i've wanted to know me. does that make sense? i won't run away. promise. i'm excited to meet them. but i like to be prepared! maddie? gosh, i forgot i have to win over all your costars too. i'm happy with that. very happy with that, actually. i don't know if you've noticed, but i really like you, drew. a lot. hm, you're right. when i'm done with tour and you with filming, we better plan a trip back to tell them, right? gotta keep our furry friends in the loop don't we, boyfriend?
