The singer went on: "But what she does so unbelievably well and these kinds of rooms is like sometimes you feel like you're on Mars and sometimes you feel like the only two people in the stadium are you and her because she's just so connected to her audience and the relationship that they have with each other is really magical and to have been in their orbit for a summer was a crazy dream."
