I love you. Thank you for waiting. Thank you for getting me back so kindly and with open arms. Tonight I want to help you shine with me, I want the world to see the size of your heart and get inspired by your spirit.
Today I will give everything about myself. Let’s make this the biggest show we’ve ever done together. Let’s make every second of waiting worth it. I loved you 10 years ago and I love you tonight. Thank you, Brazil. I love you forever! ”
