Hey, my name is Maud the Tour and you're in front of my tour van right now. I'm on tour in Chicago
and this is the Sugarwater Tour. I'm celebrating my first album out in the world, so come with me.
Well, for some reason no one will let me drive the freaking car, so I'm not ever in the front seat,
but my tour manager and my friend of house, they've been trading off driving shifts. We drive
for like six to twelve hours a day. When we're driving, we have about eight people in the van.
Every seat is taken. We're playing some light music, but we're generally kind of peaceful,
meditating. We've been giggling a lot, to be honest, so we've been having a really good time
on the road. There's a huge food box here. We have Uncrustables, pretzels, oranges,
soda water. We collect every piece of food that we have at every venue. We have snacks for days
out here. I have a rider when I go to every venue, as in there's food waiting for me at every venue,
which is great. Right now, my rider includes sandwich materials. It's the best sharp cheddar
in every city. Turkey and bread and tomatoes. I love tomatoes. It's ginger juice shots. It's
soda water, and I am now having a bouquet of roses at every city too. There were some chocolate
covered raisins on the rider for a while, and no one was touching that. We do have pickles every
night, and I tend to give them away to a fan who I meet afterwards. Let's check out the rest of the
van. There's a few people back there we want you to meet. Oh, hey, it's my band. Chloe, Lily,
what are you guys doing here? I thought it was sound check. What? Oh, we're in the second row
of my van. I have a bunch of water guns on this tour because it's the sugar water tour. It's time
to party, so you have to be a little ready to get wet at the show. Sorry. What else is here? I don't
know. Some honey nut Cheerios. You know, tour life is all about snacks. This is all my applesauce.
Lots of applesauce. It's a base neutral food for when you're nauseous. Brat diet. Not brat summer,
brat diet. I've never seen this before. Didn't know this was here. Where's the merch person?
Oh, yeah. We have a merch person. We have our photographer, Lucienne. We have our merch person,
Sky. We love them so much. Oh, here's my pillow. I've been sleeping on this disco ball.
I sleep like a sweet little angel. I'm so adorable. It was claimed since day one. It was.
You step into this row, you're in my lair. Lily dips in and out, but mostly it's mine. I'm kind
of the most mobile of anyone, I'd say. I've been moving through all the rows. I spent some time
here yesterday, some time here today, and some time here today. Yeah, I'm in the back. The back
is mine. Okay. Hi, I'm Chloe. Welcome to my row. Okay, so in my row, I just like to keep a change
of shoes. Sometimes when we get out at the gas station, you know, I just kind of want to change
it up. And these are my go to. We also have a box of secrets because everybody knows I am a vault.
You can tell me anything. It's right in here. It never comes out. No, but really, this is not mine.
Oh, this is my secret box. We're collecting everyone's deepest, darkest secrets at the show.
There's randomly $1 in here. But we've been asking people to put their deepest, darkest secrets in
this and we're anonymously reading them to prove that everyone is feeling the same things all the
time. This is bad. Here's hair tinsel. We've been slowly applying it throughout the tour.
And that's about all you need to see. Door dash the blanket. Door dash this blanket. Super cozy.
Lily and I have been jamming. We've been jamming a lot. We've been singing in the back of the van
as if there wasn't enough music already. We can't get enough. Can't get enough. They bless us with
jazz standards. Did some Beatles. Everywhere we go, everywhere we go, it's constant. It's beautiful.
It's controversial. Some love it. Some don't. But we don't care. But we don't care.
I have my best friend Mabel visiting me right now. So she's been cuddling with me in the back.
We kind of go foot to head sometimes. Head to foot sometimes. Yeah. Spoon to spoon.
I am sleeping back here. And then we're singing. We're singing. And then we're singing.
Yeah. Lots of iPads. iPad time. We watch a little White Lotus.
And we sing. We sing a lot of songs. They literally sing. It's not, it's the truth.
No vocal rest here. No. We don't need it. No vocal rest. The van's pretty empty right now
because we're about to play the show. But it sounds like there's something inside.
Wait. Oh my god. What? What are you guys doing in there? Wait. They're all dressed up for the show.
Oh, hey. There's so many people. Oh, see you guys at the show. Bye.
Wow. Thanks for coming to my van. So cool. See you out there.
