According to a person on set that day, after the performance, Blake led Miranda into a backstage waiting room and handed her a small gift wrapped in vintage music paper. Inside was a notebook – in which Blake had handwritten the entire lyrics to “These Days I Barely Get By,” interspersed with personal notes: their days as unknowns, small bars, and untold stories. It was a souvenir, and an apology – for what was to come.

Now that the two have gone their separate ways, that moment has returned like a gentle stab in the hearts of fans. A song, a public kiss, and a private gift – all wrapped up in a few minutes that no one will forget for the rest of their lives.
