The next day Calvin took me out on our first official "date". Ed didn't take it well, to say the least.
"I can't believe you can fool around with me one night, and the next, you're on a date with another dude!" He had declared that morning.
"Ed!" I laughed, "I'm not going on a date with him! At least not a real one," I defended.
"Ok, I just- I thought I was more comfortable with this than I am. That's all."
"I know," I had said, walking to hug him, "It's weird for me, too, but it will be ok."
During our "date" Calvin and I went to a very fancy and expensive restaurant. it was actually quite nice and we had became instant friends. Of course, Ed didn't like this. "Didn't you say that about us?" He questioned.
"Hun, I know this bothers you but it's just gonna have to not," I said matter-of-factly. That was the end of the conversation. I don't know what is going to happen to us with this whole fake relationship, hopefully nothing.
Today I am in Burbank, California. Backstage of the Ellen show, waiting for my cue to dance on stage. Ellen was always my favorite talk show host. She may scare me every time I'm on her show but she is a good friend of mine so I will still come whenever she wishes.
"Please welcome Taylor Swift!!" Ellen announces and the crowd goes crazy! This is my favorite part of interviews, gives me even more opportunity to meet, or at least see, some fans. I hear Blank Space come on the speakers and I walk to the stage. And suddenly I am dancing like a crazy person, typical. I hug Ellen and sit down, waving to the audience.
"Hey, Taylor!" Ellen beams.
"Hello!" I say all giddily. The audience goes crazy again.
"So what have you been up to?!" Ellen starts her interview with some easy questions, things about the tour in particular. The show is going great and my usual interview nervousness is gone.
"So I saw you were with Calvin Harris yesterday!" Nerves are back. Definitely back.
"Man news travels fast around here!" I joke, nervous laugh following my words.
"So how is your boyfriend, Ed Sheeran, feeling about this meeting?" I suck in my breath as silently as possible.
"Ed's actually not my boyfriend anymore! We broke up awhile ago...we are still best friends, though." I say quickly, wishing I didn't have to do this, "He's very happy for us--me and Calvin." The audience claps for me and I feel as though all the hate I've been blocking out for the past year has vanished all ready.
"That's great, Taylor! I'm also very happy for you!" I thank her for that, "So when did you two meet?" Shit. I was not fully prepared. I take a sip from my water.
"Oh, um lets see, I remember! Silly me. I went to see my friend Ellie, after Ed and I spilt. And she said that "when I was ready, so was he"! Because Ed and I ended our relationship because we never got to see each other, I was ready pretty quickly."
"That's great to hear. I wish you guys the best of luck." She then turned to the camera and signed off for commercial break. I left that building as soon as possible. I had made sure my car was outside, ready to take me to my private jet. The jet was all ready prepared for immediate take off. I got on the plane so quickly that by the time I had sat down and relaxed, tears were endlessly falling from my eyes. I was living a huge lie. I had no idea how long I would be doing this. That was the worst part. I was lying to my fans, the people I love the most. How am I suppose to do this?
