“We are beyond excited that they were able to see the ad and that they loved it,” Rachelle, Mandi, and Lauren of the #TilTheEndFanProject told Billboard in an email. “We worked relentlessly for 6 months and there were many times that we didn’t think we would achieve it. To see the reaction of not only them but all the fans is completely overwhelming.”
