ꜱᴜᴍᴍᴀʀʏ: You're a world-renowned singer, and shortly after the end of your world tour, your documentary is being released. The final episode is dedicated to a very special person: your F1 world champion boyfriend, Max Verstappen.
ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢ: Fully fluff. Using Y/N word. Age gap (4). Some enthusiastic fans. Maybe a little bit of parasociality.
ɴᴏᴛᴇꜱ: Inspired by Taylor Swift and her documentary The End of Era. Taylor Swift's face and albums were used in the Y/N character. The release dates of some albums were changed due to the storyline.
Liked by alexandramalenaleclerc,maxverstappen1,ynnation and others.
yourename.offical: And finally, we've come to the end of all the good things. The End of an Era: Behind The Scenes airs its final episode this Saturday at 5 PM. I can't wait to share one last memory of this unique tour with you all. My endless thanks to everyone who shared this amazing adventure with me. Love, Y/n.
disneyplus: Who's curious about the guest and story in this episode? 👀🍿🍿 #finalepisode
↳ user3: spill the teaa!!!!
↳ user4: wtf does this mean now?
↳ user5: *me trying not to give my friend spoilers from a movie I've already seen*
loveryn: i can't believe we've reached the end.it feels like just yesterday we crashed the website trying to get tickets🥹😭😭
↳ user99: i remember it all too well...
wildestdreams: IM NOT READYYYYYY!!!!
user66: can someone tell me if there are any pirate sites I can watch free?
↳ gracie: can't you even get a subscription for your favorite artist?
simplycutie: stay up all night with the hope see Max (prob his name won't even be mentioned)
↳ stroll44: thats literally me XD
↳ josh81: wtf this nickname dude
verstappenupdates: I think this episode will be about Max.
↳ maxie33: you've already made the same comment on every single post about the previous 9 episodes, just accept it girl,it wont happen.
↳ mustbewater : this waiting, this hope, feels familiar to me from somewhere.
↳ leclercmleux : the only difference is that her expectation is more likely to come true.
↳ mustbewater : HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!
↳ user10: I'm sorry, but I don't think that's likely. She never mentions Max.
↳ user11: They've been together for years and never talk about each other. Don't wait in vain.
elina3381: Am I the only one who finds it strange that Max isn't mentioned even for a single second in the entire documentary?
↳ samantha: This is her job, her documentary. Just because you're a fan of Max, stop acting like everything is must be about him.
↳ elina3381: It's not like I was trying to make everything about him or anything. The first five episodes were entirely about the making of the tour, the next two were about the fans, one about her family and friends, and another about the guest singers who participated in the tour, and I just noticed that she didn't say a single word about her boyfriend of six years during all of that time.
↳ user7: fr....as a Y/N fan, i would have expected Max to be mentioned, especially when he won the championship, didn't attend the celebrations, and flew non-stop for 14 hours to join the final concert of the tour. Just to see her.
↳ user8: They never talk about each other, nor do they appear in each other's documentaries. The decisions these two people make within their relationship don't concern us.
↳ reputation: EXCUSE ME!!!!??!!!
↳ verstappenupdates: OMG ITS HAPPENNINGGGGGGG AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
↳ user42: let's goooo!!!!
↳ folklore:EVERYONE STAY CALM!!! TAKE YOUR SEATS!!!
↳ bananaleclerc: SOMEONE BRING ME MY ASTHMA MEDICATION !!!!!

The End of an Era: Behind The Scenes
"Episode 10: Rising Together"
On the screen, the stage in the middle of the stadium appears.
Lights, camera, sound ready.
You and your team are ready to go on stage one last time. You walk towards the platform to go on stage.
''I've waited so long for this tour. I've been longing for and dreaming about this for years.''
The lights come on, the music begins.
"On the first day of the tour, I thought about how the next two years would go, what kind of memories I would leave behind when I went on stage for the last time, would time pass quickly, I was afraid that when I looked back, I wouldn't be able to enjoy what I had experienced because of the tension of all this time."
You're on stage. You start singing.
"During the tour, I had the opportunity to meet new fans, they were all wonderful, I discovered new countries and cities where we spoke different languages but shared the same feelings."
Your eyes wander around the crowd.
"I'm grateful to my fellow singers who accompanied me during this period and added color to my concerts, and to my family and friends whose support I always felt."
As the first song ends, your eyes fall on someone in the crowd.
He should be in Abu Dhabi. Just 16 hours ago, he won his 5th championship. The competition you couldn't go to, but watched him practice backstage. He should be celebrating. But he's here. He should be at the celebration, but he's standing among the audience in his white t-shirt and damn jeans.
You can't help but giggle at the end of the song. Your laughter echoes through the stadium.
"And I am grateful to my fiancé Max, who has blessed every moment of my life with his support and love."
"We met in 2016, at a mutual friend's wedding."
📽️ "Sounds pretty romantic."
"Actually, it wasn't." You laugh.
"After all those bridesmaid duties, I went to the table with the appetizers and all I wanted was to fill my stomach. And then he suddenly appeared next to me."
The memories comes back to you. Your cheeks are full because you've stuffed the appetizer plate into your mouth all at once, and you make eye contact with Max, the half-drunk teenager.
"I needed to rest and i guess he needed a little more gin-tonic, and we started making small talk."
📽️ "Did you know each other beforehand?"
"No, I knew who he was, but I'd never watched Formula 1, so he was just one of the guests at the wedding to me. A sweet one." You smile flirtatiously.
📽️ "Should I understand from that that you hit it off immediately?"
"We could say that. Suddenly, it felt like we'd known each other for years. Even though I'm not the type to warm up to people easily, it was so easy to talk to him. I even forgot we were at a wedding. It felt like it was just the two of us there for hours."
📽️ "Did your relationship start then?"
"No." You immediately object.
"We talked about our hobbies, interests, and future career plans. He was really sweet, but he had just started his career and needed to focus on it, while I hadn't been able to achieve the success I wanted. At that moment, I was sure that a long-distance relationship wasn't a priority for either of us."
📽️ "You're talking as if you've had a conversation about this before, am I wrong?"
"You're not wrong." You involuntarily adopt a more assertive and defensive stance. This was a defense mechanism developed over the years.
"That night he told me i was the love of his life."
📽️ "That's so romantic!!"
"I was about to go crazy, he was only 19."
📽️ "So you told her she was the love of your life."
"I couldn't help myself, and I didn't want to."
📽️ "But how did you become so sure? That she was the love of your life?"
"Well..." he grins mischievously.
"I'd seen her before, in a friend's instagram post. I wasn't really a music listener, I just saw her, it seemed like a casual get-together with friends, not like a pop star, and I guess I was captivated. Because it was her. It was a really weird thing, I found myself scrolling through her posts, all night."
📽️ "Oh, you were stalking her!"
"No, actually—" he does a Maxplaining, one finger in the air. "I was respectfully adoring her, there's a difference."
📽️ "So this wedding was an opportunity for you."
"Absolutely! Trying to catch her alone was pure torture, but it went much better than I expected, more or less."
📽️ "She said she went crazy."
"Yeah, she panicked a little." You were absolutely crazy. "She said I was rushing things and was too naive."
'I'm four years older than you, oh my god Max, I'm going to jail.'
'You're too young, I feel like I'm taking advantage of you.'
'Long-distance relationships don't work, especially when both partners are famous and workaholics.'
📽️ "You must have been hurt."
"Yes and no. She was quite honest, and looking back, her concerns were realistic. I was a little disappointed at the time, but I understand her reasons."
📽️ "So you mean it wouldn't have been better if your relationship had started back then?"
"I don't think it would have been as healthy," he admits. "We were both young and made silly mistakes until we found each other again."
📽️ "You announced your relationship in 2020, haven't you seen each other since then?"
"I never lost touch with her. Social media allowed us to become familiar with each other's lives, and we would go on vacations with mutual friends from time to time, where we would have the opportunity to see each other. Even if it was only once a year."
📽️ "Were you expecting something to happen during that time?"
"Maybe." He grins. "She told me that the world is small now and that if we were the right person for each other, life would eventually bring us together, and I waited."
📽️ "Apparently, life brought you together."
"Yes." You smile wryly. "Did it cruelly, but I'm still happy with the outcome."
📽️ "Was moving to Monaco his idea?"
"No, he didn't even know I was moving. 2019...it was quite painful. The false accusations about my relationship that ended then, some slander, and those people I thought were my lifelong friends but who left without looking back at the slightest problem, all messed up my psychology. And I struggled to handle the fame that came after my last album while all this was happening. I needed a fresh start."
📽️ "Why Monaco?"
"The privacy, the lack of journalists, and since everyone living here is a well-known person, people don't pay much attention to you. All I needed was peace. I saw what happened to me as a litmus test to distinguish the people in my life who weren't good for me, so I packed my bags and left America."
📽️ "Did your relationship start after that?"
"Yes. I needed his company, so I called to ask if he knew of a good coffee shop in Monaco. He was there 15 minutes later. He didn't ask anything, he said he hadn't read anything online and that he knew he could only trust my word if he wanted to learn anything. I felt safer and more comfortable with him than I had ever felt before. I always had. And I was no longer afraid of people's pressure. That changed things between us."
📽️ "You're both quite big names and very passionate about your careers, how did you both manage to do it so successfully?"
"Open communication, just the two of you in the relationship, and a little effort, I guess that's a pretty good trio."
📽️ "Can you elaborate a bit?"
"Of course. First of all, we were both honest about our expectations and that we wouldn't give up on our careers no matter what. And we kept our relationship private from the beginning. The less noise and opinions there were, the stronger our steps were. And of course, we worked hard for each other. When I moved in with him, we needed a bigger house, so we turned the room next to his simulation room into a studio for me. That way I didn't have to fly to America every chance I got to record, and I could use that time advantage to go to races with him and support him."
📽️ "Do you think the relationship added something to your career?"
"I have three pretty sweet babies named 1989, Reputation, and Lover, and this beautiful ring." You raise your hand and laugh as you watch the woman's surprised look on her face as she sees your solitaire ring.
📽️ "Wait—1989 and getting engaged, oh my god!?"
"So the album came out in 2017. Who did you think that blue-eyed, crazy driver was?"
📽️ "Do you realize you just dropped an atomic bomb on pop culture?"
📽️ "You proposed to her."
"And she accepted." He says with great confidence.
📽️ "Congratulations, and let's hear the story."
"It wasn't anything extravagant. It was the last day of her tour, and we were in hotel room. We'd both had a tiring year, and we wanted to take a break and enjoy life. She was doing her facial in the hotel bathroom, I was playing shave, and the cats were jumping over the bathtub in the middle. It was a pretty ordinary but precious moment just for us, and it felt like the right time. I took the ring out of my pocket and knelt in front of her, and thankfully, she accepted."
📽️ "You kept the ring ready in your pocket?"
📽️ "Two years?"
"Around the time I was deciding on the ring, she said she wanted to go on tour. For years, she'd been handling everything in her little studio, just so she could be with me. And I would have been a terrible boyfriend if I hadn't supported her in that. At that moment, she needed her career more than ring, and I chose to wait for her."
📽️ "I think the ring is absolutely gorgeous, you've done a great job."
"Technically, she designed the ring, so all the credit goes to her."
📽️ "How is it?"
"When I decided to buy a ring, I was a complete mess. There were so many different stone shapes and apparently different sizes, and I was completely lost. And then I called her cousin, who said she could help somehow. She took her to a jewelry designer under the pretext of "designing jewelry for fun," and I arranged for the ring she had already designed to be bought and reserved for her.
📽️ "This is really unusual, wow. So what was her reaction when she saw the ring?"
"She came home very upset the day she designed it, and her cousin told me that she was in love with the ring but was sad because she had to leave it there since it sounded silly to get a solitaire ring for herself. She said that as she was leaving the store, she said, 'Who knows which lucky bitch will get that amazing thing.' But the ring was already hers. And the day I proposed, when she saw the ring, she jumped on me saying, 'Omg, im the lucky bitch!' It was a truly funny and heartwarming moment.
📽️ "That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard."
