“I would say it was definitely one of the hardest decisions we had to make together,” Dan said.

“I definitely lost a lot of hair because of that. My favorite song, I was outvoted deeply on.

Even after “Vampire” was picked, “I tortured Dan for so long, for months” about the arrangement, Olivia said.
