End of the world

Nashville, Tennessee.

(Taylor's Perspective)

I am waiting backstage with a guitar wrapped around on my shoulder waiting for the okay to go onstage. I can feel my heartbeat pound in my chest as the adrenaline starts to kick in. I hear the roar of hundreds of people waiting for the show to start.

I can't believe I'm doing this!! I'm living my dream I've worked on for so long practicing none stop since I was twelve years old. Constantly playing my guitar and singing. Writing hundreds of songs. Going to dozens record labels but they always slammed the door in my face.

But I finally got my big break when I was playing at the blue bird cafe when Scott Borcetta my record label owner found me. I was one of his first artists he has ever singed to. He was just starting out his business and he needed singers. It was like fait. I was over the moon when I sighed the paper to the contract to his label.

Rascals Flatts discovered me and liked my stuff so they asked me to open up for them on their tour! Performing for thousands of people who can listen to my music and possibly buy. I'm living my dream.

I look out into the audience and there's thousands of people here. Wow this is amazing!!

"Ladies and gentlemen please make a warm welcome to Taylor Swift!!!" A man announces and the crowd roars with excitement.

My boots thud loudly as I walk out on stage as the crowd cheered then they see me.

I walk up to the microphone, "Hey y'all my name is Taylor Swift and I'll be singing a few songs for you." I said and the crowd cheered.

I start strumming the guitar and the crowd cheers.

"This song is the very first song I ever wrote it's called Tim McGraw." I said and started to play the guitar.

Halfway through my set and look out into the crowd, I see a big group of people standing behind the fence to get into the concert. I can't hear what they are saying but I see dozens of them grabbing at the gate wanting to come in.

I see workers step back from them and they all run away.

-
"I would like to introduce you all to my band." I said and the crowd cheered.

"This is Grant my guitar player." I said pointing to Grant. Grant waved to the crowd and the crowd cheered.

"This is Paul my other guitar player." I said.

"Al my drummer." I said.

"This is Liz my backup singer." I said.

"This is Catlyeen my violin player." I said.

"This next song is called Our Song." I said and the crowd cheered.

I finished my set and walk backstage.

"Great show Taylor." Rascal flats said.

"Thank you." I said.

I am walking back to my tour bus and get onto the bus. I relax on the bus and write song new songs that have been stuck in my head for the past few hours. I don't know how long have I been writing but the sun has set and it's dark out.
