Adopted by Taylor Swift

Chapter 2

7/9/2018
Taylor's P.o.v

After I released my album Reputation, I had been thinking about adopting a kid since I live by myself. But I knew since I'm on tour, I'd either have to bring them with me or have my mom watch them. Between dates of my shows I have started writing a song titled 'The Man', and have written the chorus.

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if I'd get there quicker
If I was a man
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again
'Cause if I was a man
Then I'd be the man
I'd be the man
I'd be the man

I don't know what the verses are going to be, but I think it's become one of my favorite songs for if I plan an upcoming album. I have started to feel a bit lonely since I don't have a boyfriend or kid. Although I do have three cats Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson "Dibbles", and Benjamin Button, who I love deeply.

I love doing concerts because I get to see all my fans, and hear them sing along with my music. When some of my fans meet me after my concert, I feel happy because I get to talk to them like a normal person, although I don't feel like a normal person sometimes because of the noisy paparazzi.

The tour ends in Tokyo in over four months after 40 more shows. I have been able to see some sights of the cities that I've preformed at. In four days I plan on visiting an orphanage in Nashville, where I hope to find a child to adopt. When I told my mom about it she was skeptical at first, but has grown to love the idea of being a grandma. I'm nervous about being a mom, but my mom has assured me that I'll be a great mom.

I shift my mind back to that song "The Man", and try to think of some lyrics for the first verse and Pre-chorus. Then in my head I came up with lyrics for the first verse.

I would be complex
I would be cool
They'd say I played the field before I found someone to commit to
And that would be ok
For me to do
Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you

I quickly write down the lyrics on a piece of paper, and hoped that the Pre-chorus would pop in my head, just like the first verse did. After a few minutes of thought, the lyrics came to me

I'd be a fearless leader
I'd be an alpha type
When everyone believes ya
What's that like?

I wrote these lyrics on the paper just below the first verse, and wrote the chorus below the Pre-chorus. I then opened my phone, and recorded a voice memo of me singing the lyrics that I wrote down. After a few hours had passed, I got ready to go to FedEx Field for tonight's concert.

Once I arrived at the stadium paparazzi swarmed towards me, trying to ask questions about the show, my personal life, any upcoming projects, etc. As I get backstage, I change into my outfit and get prepared. When "...Ready For It?" plays, I enter onto the stage and hear the crowd erupt. After I finish preforming "...Ready For It?" I continue preforming my Setlist which includes: "Shake It Off", "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things", "Bad Blood", "Getaway Car", and "Look What You Made Me Do".

After the concert I meet with my fans and take pictures with them, before heading back to my hotel room with my mom and dad, who have their own hotel room. I try to continue writing "The Man" and do add the second verse

They'd say I hustled
Put in the work
They wouldn't shake their heads and question how much of this I deserve
What I was wearing
If I was rude
Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves?

So far the song has the first verse, first Pre-chorus, Chorus, and second verse written. The page has this written on it.

I would be complex
I would be cool
They'd say I played the field before I found someone to commit to
And that would be ok
For me to do
Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you

I'd be a fearless leader
I'd be an alpha type
When everyone believes ya
What's that like?

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if I'd get there quicker
If I was a man
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again
'Cause if I was a man
Then I'd be the man
I'd be the man
I'd be the man

They'd say I hustled
Put in the work
They wouldn't shake their heads and question how much of this I deserve
What I was wearing
If I was rude
Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves?

I know that I'll add more tommorow, but decide to call it a night and go to bed.
