Call it what you want

Chapter 2: Meeting the music industry

The first day of filming. It stressed you out. More like an excited stress.

Your hands were shaking and your palms were sweaty, reminding you of Taylor's song Dress. You jumped in the shower and brushed your teeth, then put on your skincare. You didn't do your makeup because they said it'd be applied by the makeup artists on set. This was going to be a very different experience than your past gigs.

Before this, you were simply an extra/background actress when it came to movies and TV, a supporting role in a small indie YouTube short film, and a lead in a few small community theater productions at the LA Playhouse.

You put on some black skinny jeans, a white cropped t-shirt, and black pumps. You grabbed your purse and headed out the door.

The driver in the black SUV was waiting outside your apartment, and you showed him your ID to confirm it was you.

You felt that nervous butterfly feeling in your stomach as you rode the way to the studio. You tried to scroll on your phone to distract the feeling but it was no use. This was something big and it made you nervous.

When the driver pulled up to the studio, you slowly stepped out of the car and made your way inside. You were in awe with all of the set pieces. It was clearly supposed to be a night in LA theme that was set in a nightclub.

A red haired woman walked up to you with a warm welcoming smile on her face. "Hello Ms. L/n! So glad you took up this opportunity. Come sit with the rest of the team as we discuss the overview of the production." she said as she guided you to a white table with black pleather chairs. And there she was.

Seated at the far end of the table was none other than the queen herself, Taylor Alison Swift. You took a deep breath and sat in the next available seat next to a pretty brunette girl. You've recognized her as Hailee Steinfeild. What was she doing here? You wondered if she and Taylor were friends. Which made you like her even more, anyone who likes Taylor you automatically like them.

You were snapped out of your thoughts by Taylor's voice.

"Alright everyone, let's get started."

The meeting went on and you noticed Taylor kept stealing glances at you and every once in a while the two of you locked eyes which caused you to blush and look away.

Taylor noticed you as soon as you walked in. You were beautiful, and defitiently a very talented young woman no doubt. But she tried to push those thoughts away, feeling it'd be inappropriate if she ever engaged romantically with a co-worker. Because that was essentially what the two of you were. Co-workers. Maybe later, friends. Nothing more, nothing less.

You were then sent to get your makeup done and to be given the outfit you were supposed to wear. The outfit was a little more revealing than you'd usually wear, but you looked hot. And this was reputation, obviously it was gonna be edgy and revealing.

Then it was time to go film the first few scenes, and you were definitely nervous now.

Because this was a scene where you had to dance provocatively while Taylor watched. 

A/N: Just and FYI Taylor and Joe's relationship never existed in this story. Love them together but this worked best for the plot :)
