Why does $|e^-tt^s-1| = e^-tt^sigma-1$, where $sigma = Re(s)$?

I am going over Stein and Shakarchi's section on the gamma function, and most of it makes sense except for this little technicality. I've also read a little bit of Titchmarsh and he makes an identical claim, but I still don't know why this is true.

          Because, if we set $s=sigma+itau$, $sigma,tauin bf R$, we have
          $$bigl|t^s-1bigr|=bigl|t^sigma-1+itaubigr|=bigl|t^sigma-1bigr|cdotbigl|t^itaubigr|$$
          and $t^itau$ has modulus $1$ since it is
          $$t^itau=rm e^itauln t.$$

            $|e^-tt^s-1| = |e^-te^ln(t)(sigma + jomega - 1)| =|e^-t t^sigma - 1e^jomega ln(t)| = e^-tt^sigma-1$, where $sigma = Re(s)$

              Because, if we set $s=sigma+itau$, $sigma,tauin bf R$, we have
              $$bigl|t^s-1bigr|=bigl|t^sigma-1+itaubigr|=bigl|t^sigma-1bigr|cdotbigl|t^itaubigr|$$
              and $t^itau$ has modulus $1$ since it is
              $$t^itau=rm e^itauln t.$$
