Invisible String

91

Tonight though, I'll be presenting the team at my show for a little welcome home. Something small. In between those weeks though, Taylor dropped Lover as announced. Safe to say that all the attention that was targeted on me and Alex, was going to Taylor.

Speculations are rising. It's getting more difficult. I will admit that what Taylor did helped.

"Alright let's get this ready." I shout as I grab my guitar.

Taylor stands next to me as she continues singing. Smiling at the crowd while also fixing my white t-shirt.

"Walking up to the front." I hear Peter say through his headset and into my IEM.

"Please help me welcome the 2019 World Cup champions! The U.S women's national team!" I shout.

Taylor walks over toward the girls grabbing Alex's hand then goes to grab mine.

'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style
You got that long hair, slicked back, white T-shirt
And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt (a tight little skirt)
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style (we never go), we never go out of style

Take me home
Just take me home
Yeah, just take me home
Oh, whoa, oh
(Out of style)

Taylor raises mine and Alex's hand up in the air. The trophy in Alex's empty hand. Taylor then turns to me as she sings, my heart beating rapidly as I listen and see what she's doing.

Taylor Alison Swift you are not.

Oh, she got that James Dean daydream look in her eye
And she got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when they go crashing down (now we go), they come back every time
'Cause they never go out of style, they never go out of style

"One more round of applause for these wonderful women." I shout.

As soon as they're off the stage I take one of my in ear monitors and moving the mic away from hearing my conversation with Taylor.

"Seriously?" I ask.

"Come on, I had to give them something." Taylor says with a smirk and a wink, walking off the stage.

The band continues to play as I grab my ocean blue electric guitar then make my way towards the mic stand. Giving the girls time to get to their seats.

"I hope you're all still having a good time." I say fixing my IEM. "I know I am. I'm so happy to be back on tour and being able to see all of you."

"All set." Peter says.

"I hope you guys don't think the surprises are over for tonight." I say with a chuckle. "You know I've been meaning to tell you all that you shouldn't be listening to rumors. They're dangerous."

I see something being thrown at the stage in which I quickly grab it. A pride flag. I wrap it around me, securing it so it doesn't fall.

"Great timing for this next song. This song just came out not too long ago by a very talented artist."

I move away from the mic stand as I start the song. I smile as I hear the crowd cheer, recognizing the song.

I look into the audience, spotting where the girls are seated.

"Please help me welcome Clairo." I announce as I walk over to meet with Clairo.

(A/N: Bold= Clairo. Italics= Natalie. Both= well both lmaooo)

I think we could do it if we tried
If only to say you're mine
Sofia, know that you and I
Shouldn't feel like a crime

I think we could do it if we tried
If only to say you're mine
Sofia, know that you and I
Shouldn't feel like a crime

You know I'll do anything you ask me to
But oh my God, I think I'm in love with you
Standin' here alone now, think that we can drive around
I just wanna say how I love you with your hair down
Baby, you don't gotta fight, I'll be here 'til the end of time
Wishin' that you were mine, pull you in, it's alright

I think we could do it if we tried
If only to say you're mine
Sofia, know that you and I
Shouldn't feel like a crime

I grab the mic as I make my way to the center of the stage, standing next to Clairo. Grabbing hold of my guitar to make sure it doesn't hit Clairo, I then spot Alex in the crowd.

Honey, I don't want it to fade
There's things that I know could get in the way
I don't want to say goodbye
And I think that we could do it if we tried

I think we could do it if we tried
If only to say you're mine
Sofia, know that you and I
Shouldn't feel like a crime

I think we could do it (I think we could, I think we could do it, if, if, if)
If we tried (we could, we could, you're mine)
I think we could do it (Sofia, know that you, you, you and I)
If we tried (shouldn't feel like a crime)
Sofia, know that you and I (I think we could, I think we could do it, we could, we could)
Shouldn't feel like a crime (do it, do it, you're mine) (get in the way)
Sofia, know that you and I (Sofia, know that you, you, you and I shouldn't feel)
Oh, oh (like a crime) (do it if we tried)

I smile as I move out of the way, motioning my arms towards Clairo.

"Clairo everyone!"
