Kaelyn Erin Ross has a dream... there's only one problem. She is an orphan and can't chase it until she's 18. See what happens when Taylor Swift adopts her.
Travis extended his hand and shook Taylor's and Phillips. I couldn't help but admire how he held himself around adults- anybody really.
"Oooo," Courtney whispered into my ear. "You've soooooo still got a thing for him."
"But it's never going anywhere," I laughed.
"He hasn't ever had a girlfriend but everybody likes him," Ashlyn said.
"Wow," I rolled my eyes but secretly I liked that news.
Travis came back. "We headin' in?"
"Yep," I said.
"Oh my gosh is that Taylor Swift?" I heard a voice say, and whispering ripples.
Taylor began taking pictures with fans.
"Oh my gosh, that's Kaelyn!" Somebody said and I took a few pictures with people. After that we hurried inside, careful not to draw attention.
We took a picture in the lobby of me, Taylor, Travis, Courtney, and Ashlyn. In the picture, Travis was kneeling in front of us making a surprised face with his hand over his mouth raising his eyebrows and pointing to Taylor. Courtney and Ashlyn and Taylor and I all stood together with our arms around each other.
"It's so crazy to imagine..." Courtney said in my ear. "Taylor. Swift. Is. Right. There."
I laughed. "Pretty crazy right?"
"I can't believe you live with her," Ashlyn added. "So like... what's she like?"
"You get what you see," I shrugged.
"That's so cool," Ashlyn said.
"I guess so," I laughed. We began walking through the museum.
"Look," laughed Courtney. "It's Taylor's stuff."
Taylor had several sections in there, of clothes, albums, guitars, and more. We took a picture of her in front of them.
Courtney and Ashlyn took a picture with Taylor.

I laughed at how they acted when Taylor touched them.
"I've tried to play it cool," Courtney said.
Travis and I walked together through most of the tour.
"Johnny Cash," Travis said. "My favorite."
"You like Johnny Cash?" Taylor asked him.
"Yep," Travis said. "Ring of Fire was the first song I learned to play on guitar."
"Oh, you play the guitar?" Taylor asked.
"Yeah, I play locally around a lot and sing," Travis shrugged. "Hoping to get lucky you know."
"That was me a few years ago," Taylor laughed.
"Travis can sing really really well," I said. Taylor smirked at me.
"You and Travis would be an adorable couple," She said. I laughed uneasily. I looked over to see Travis blushing. What? "See, look at that blush," Taylor said. "Mmmhmmmm."
"No, no," Travis said laughing with a huge grin.
"Oooooo," Courtney and Ashlyn chorused.
I look over to see a bunch of people taking pictures of us. Taylor has taken a lot of pictures with fans in here.
Finally we finished the tour and got to the end where it was the bookstore and album store. I walked through the aisle looking through all the names and albums.
"Blake Shelton," Travis said. "I love him."
"Me too," I said. "Carrie Underwood."
"She's hot," Travis said.
"Wow," I laughed.
He shrugged, and picked up one of Taylor. "Isn't it weird seeing your moms face all over the world. Like you walk in Walmart, 'Oh, there's my mom' on like everything." He asked.
"Yeah, I'm still getting used to it," I laughed.
"How long are you staying here? I realized how much I've missed having you around. You remember all the good ole times?"
"Where we spit spitwads in Mrs. Schumer's hair?" I asked.
"Or spit them in Avalets hair." Travis laughed.
"Ava-let," I drew out the syllables mimicking her squeaky annoying suck up voice.
"She likes me and she won't leave me alone," Travis said. I felt my blood boiling. "And you've been the talk of the school," he continued. "You and Taylor now."
"Seriously?" I asked.
"Yep," Travis said. "Everybody wants to see you. Everybody was jealous that me and Courtney and Ashlyn got to."
"They only want to because of Taylor," I said.
"It must be annoying," Travis agreed. "But you know... I didn't even care Taylor was here. I just wanted to see you."
I turned to look at him in the eye and his green eyes were killing me. I looked around awkwardly.
"I was excited to see you," I said in return carefully. Who's around right now? There had to be cameras all over this place.
"You know, I um..." He looked around. "I've always kinda liked you."
My heart and stomach did a 360.
"I've always liked you too," I said.
"It's just... seeing you here today... brought it all back," he said with a laugh, and reached out his hand to push a strand of hair out of my face. "I've thought about you every day since you left. I never had a way to contact you. It sucked."
"I know what you mean," I laughed. "I've missed everybody so much."
"Really?" I felt him getting closer.
There were cameras around, we couldn't do this here. "Kaelyn Swift kisses boy in Country Music Hall of Fame" "Kaelyn Swift on the Loose" "Taylor Swift leaves Child running free with Boy in Country Music Hall of Fame" I backed away uneasily, and quickly said, "There's a fan watching." I looked up at the balcony and saw several people watching actually.
"Oh," Travis said. "I'm so sorry." He understood me.
I leaned in and whispered into his ear. "They're always watching me..."
"Kaelyn?" I heard a voice call. Taylor.
"Yes?" I called back.
"Oh, there you are," Taylor walked into the row and saw Travis and I. She gave us a suspicious look. "You guys ready to go? You can ride with us if you want."
"That'd be so cool," Travis said. Courtney and Ashlyn poked their heads behind Taylor.
