Karlie's POV
                          
     "10 minutes until showtime!" One of the many directors was yelling backstage. Taylor was dressed in her WTNY outfit, nervously messing with her glasses.
                          
     She was walking around in circles, listening to the HAIM sisters finish up. I watched her go from super excited, to super nervous in literal minutes. 
                          
     "Taylor." I call out to her. She quickly focuses and looks at me. 
                          
     "Uh Yes?" Taylor taps her foot on the ground to the beat, trying to calm her nerves.
                          
     "You'll do great. You always do." I take her sunglasses from her hands and slide them on. I can't help but do a little dance in the seat I'm sitting in. 
                          
     "I should just hire you as a backup dancer. Also, really liking this dress you're pulling tonight." Taylor pulls me up from my seat and holds my hands. 
                          
     "Can you guys be separate for more than 15 minutes?" Tree Paine busts through our little own world. 
                          
    "Don't act like you're not excited to see me Tree," I smirk at her, turning into a smile. Taylor's hands were now shaking. 
                          
    "Tay! You'll be awesome! Stop shaking for a second and relax cupcake." I slip my hands up her arms for comfort. Tree was writing down something as she looks at us again. 
                          
     "Do you guys mind me coming over tomorrow night in NY to talk about what you guys are?" Tree clicks her pen and sits it down. 
                          
      "Tree! Don't stress the girl out more than she is! I'll text you details later." I barely finish as the director had come back to where Taylor and I stand.
                          
      "2 minutes until go time, let's get you in position Taylor." The director leads her by the arm but I question her as we walk.
                          
      "Aren't you forgetting something?" I ask her as we walk to her starting position. I take off her sunglasses and put them on her lightly dimmed face. She had calmed down, and replaced the feeling with excitement.
                          
     "Thank you for coming Karlie." Taylor was jumping in her spot now, the music just now ending. 
                          
     "Anytime Tay. Get out there and show em' who's Swift!" I blow her a kiss and step back so the people up higher can't see me standing under the stage. 
                          
     The stage lifts Taylor up, as she starts her beginning tour song and speech.
                          
    "You're such a good influence on her Karlie." Andrea Swift walks up from behind me, Tree scrambling off to get a better look and eye on Taylor. 
                          
     "And that's what I hope to be."

     Taylor's show was a lot of fun, I went down into the pit and met some fans. I actually make myself alive at the show.
                          
     Unlike somebody who wears the exact same shirt every time he's here.
                          
     Shake it Off was now going, so it was the near end of Taylor's show. I decided to go back to underneath the stage, to see Taylor right after she finishes. 
                          
     Ella had already performed, which I told her like a million times how well she did. She was standing underneath the stage too, to keep me company. 
                          
    "So what did you think of your girl's performance tonight?" Ella hits my shoulder with her own. 
                          
     "Taylor's performance is always ineffable, or that's how it leaves me. I have no words to describe how amazing she does her job." I feel my face sink into some sort of light blush.
