Uhm hello #13 in Taylor!!
Sitting down in the seat with her name on it, Winnie felt on top of the world. Like she was a star in a movie, she, Winnie, was important enough to have a chair with her full name on it.
She, Phoebe, and Gracie had huddled their chairs into a group of 3, nervously whispering about their situation. Taylor's entire "touring family" was there, her backup singers, dancers, band, etc. were all there, sitting in chairs in circles.
"Holy shit you guys, this is real life" Phoebe laughed, her voice laced with excitement
"Oh my god I'm so scared, I hope they like me," Gracie said, squeezing phoebes hand
"Don't worry, just don't get too close, or you'll mess it up" Winnie joked, quoting Gracie's single, thinking she was the funniest person to walk the planet
"Shut up you're not funny" Gracie rolled her eyes, smacking Winnie's leg.
The three girls must've looked like idiots, everyone's chair was spread out equally in a circle and everyone was socializing, while the three socially awkward girls had scooched their chairs together so they were barely inches apart, and wouldn't talk to anyone else.
"OH MY GOSH," Taylor squealed, stepping into the middle of the circle and spinning like a girl in a brand-new dress. "I am thrilled that you're all here and so honored you all decided to join me on this tour! I can't begin to express how excited I am to embark on this journey, and do it with all of my close friends! As I'm sure you can see, some new people are joining us, so please go around and say your name or nickname, position, age, and uh, favorite drink. Oh, and please there are like a million people on this tour, so be considerate that some people won't learn your name right away."
For the next 10 minutes, over 100 people said their names, and other interesting facts about themselves. Winnie, who honestly probably should've paid more attention, dissociated, thinking about the situation at hand. She was going to perform for an entire stadium, of seventy thousand people, at fifteen. Just thinking about it made her nervous. She quite literally couldn't breathe before she performed at the Grammys, and she had no clue how she was going to do it here.
"It's your turn Winnie" Phoebe mumbled under her breathe
"Oh, uh sorry" Winnie awkwardly laughed, looking up from her thoughts "My name's Winonia, but you can just call me Winnie. I'm 15, an opener, and my favorite drink is probably a Diet Coke or a Shirley Temple." Winnie nervously said, her hands sticky and her breath shaky.
Her words hung in the air for a moment before there was a polite round of applause from those around her and she breathed a sigh of relief before Taylor stepped back into the circle to continue the introductions
After another 6 long, agonizing minutes, Taylor finally stepped back into the circle to continue addressing the ensemble
"So thank you guys for coming to the last day of rehearsals in LA. We plan to fly out to Glendale tomorrow and keep rehearsing at State Farm Stadium. The plane takes off at 5 in the morning so be there bright and early! I am so happy that there are so many familiar faces here and I hope you all grow to love each other the way I love you all!" Taylor said, stepping out of the circle, gesturing for everyone to stand up and talk.

"That was absolutely crazy, I can't believe that there's going to be a person in like almost every single seat. You're incredible, The fact that you can summon 70k people is absolutely insane, you're like, like Wonder Woman" Winnie said, looking up at the older woman. Winnie almost couldn't comprehend how something like that was possible.
