Author's note: I'm officially stuck on where to take this story. Please add your suggestions -I've used up loads from previous comments (thank you so much for that!!).

The invitation to VMAs had been a topic of excitement and apprehension in Taylor's household. While Madison was brimming with eagerness to attend, Taylor harbored reservations about bringing a young girl into such a high-profile event. Taylor and Travis have been dating for quite a few months now and in the world of media, he was considered a Swift.

"Please, can I go with you guys? It'll be so much fun!" Madison pleaded, her eyes shining with the prospect of attending her first major award show. She was invited with the two of them, but Taylor had yet to confirm whether all three would be attending.

Taylor bit her lip, weighing the pros and cons. "I'm just not sure it's the right environment for you, Maddie. It can be pretty overwhelming."

Travis, seeing the disappointment in Madison's eyes, stepped in. "I think we can make it work. We'll be there with her the whole time, and it could be a great experience. Plus, I'll protect you guys."

After some thought, Taylor gave in, smiling at Madison's excitement. "Okay, we'll go. But we stick together, deal?"

Madison beamed. "Deal!"

The day of the award show, their home buzzed with energy. Madison was a whirlwind of excitement, trying on different dresses before finally settling on a beautiful, age-appropriate gown. Taylor chose an elegant outfit that complemented Madison's, while Travis looked sharp in his suit.

As they got ready, Madison couldn't stop talking about the celebrities she hoped to see. "Do you think I'll get to see any famous superstars?" she asked, her eyes wide with wonder.

Taylor, applying a final touch of makeup, laughed. "I'm sure we'll see quite a few. Just remember, they're just people like us."

Travis, adjusting his tie, added, "And don't forget, you're with a superstar already." He gestured towards Taylor, who rolled her eyes playfully.

"Very funny," Taylor said. "But tonight, Madison's the star of our little family."

Madison looked at herself in the mirror, a mixture of pride and joy on her face. "I can't wait!"

As they left for the award show, the air was filled with anticipation. Taylor, Travis, and Madison walked hand in hand, ready to experience the glitz and glamour of the evening together as a family. Despite her initial hesitations, Taylor felt a sense of excitement.

As they arrived at the award show, the red carpet unfurled before them like a ribbon of glamour and lights. Cameras flashed from all directions, capturing the glitz and excitement of the event. Taylor watched with a mixture of pride and amusement as Travis and Madison confidently posed for photos. Travis made sure Madison felt like a star, lifting her spirits and encouraging her with every click of the camera.

Madison, basking in the attention, couldn't help but beam with joy. She looked up at Taylor and Travis, feeling like she was part of something truly special. "This is amazing!" she exclaimed, her voice barely audible over the buzz of the crowd.

As they made their way along the carpet, a group of fans approached, their eyes fixated on Madison. One of them, a young girl around Madison's age, shyly held out a notebook and pen. "Could I get your autograph, please? You're so cool!" the fan asked, a hint of awe in her voice.

Madison's eyes widened in shock and excitement. She looked up at Taylor and Travis, seeking reassurance. Taylor nodded with an encouraging smile. "Go ahead, Maddie. You're making her day."
