Travis Kelce felt the familiar crunch of gravel under his tires as he pulled into the driveway. It had been a long day of practice, grueling as always, but the anticipation of coming home to Taylor Swift made it all worth it. He parked his car and made his way inside, the warmth of the home and the familiar scents of dinner being prepared enveloping him as he entered.
The sound of laughter and chatter greeted him before he even saw anyone. As he rounded the corner, he found Taylor sitting comfortably on the couch with her best friends Gigi Hadid and Brittany Mahomes. The three women were in high spirits, sipping on wine and enjoying what seemed to be a particularly juicy round of gossip. Taylor's cats—Olivia, Meredith, and Benjamin—lounged lazily around the room, basking in the relaxed atmosphere.
Taylor looked up and her face lit up with a smile as she saw Travis. "Hey, babe! You're home!" she exclaimed, setting her glass down and getting up to greet him. Travis enveloped her in a warm hug, planting a kiss on her forehead.
"Hey, beautiful," he replied, grinning as he looked over at Gigi and Brittany. "What are you ladies up to?"
Gigi waved her hand in mock seriousness. "Oh, you know, just discussing the latest drama in the entertainment world. Nothing major."
Brittany chuckled. "Yeah, just some harmless gossip to unwind. You know how it goes."
Travis smirked and settled into a chair opposite the trio. "Oh, I'm sure it's nothing *too* scandalous, right?" He stretched out, enjoying the comfort of being at home with his fiancée and their friends. "So, what's the hot topic today?"
Taylor glanced at Gigi and Brittany, then back at Travis, her expression a mix of amusement and slight exasperation. "Well, we were just talking about the VMAs and how amazing it was that I had a clean sweep," she began, a proud but humble tone in her voice. "But it kind of led to a bit of a... situation with Selena."
Travis raised an eyebrow, leaning forward with interest. "Selena? What happened?"
Gigi leaned in conspiratorially, lowering her voice as if to share a secret. "So, apparently, Selena wasn't too happy about Taylor winning all those awards. She was up for the same categories, and, well, let's just say she didn't take it very well."
Brittany nodded, taking a sip of her wine. "Yeah, they had a bit of an argument. It got pretty heated."
Travis frowned, looking at Taylor with concern. "You and Selena argued? About the VMAs?"
Taylor sighed, sitting back down next to him. She looked slightly troubled but also resolute. "Yeah, it was kind of a mess. We were talking after the show, and she made some comments that were... pretty hurtful. She said it felt like I overshadowed her, and she accused me of always needing to be the center of attention."
Travis's expression darkened slightly. He knew how much Taylor valued her friendships, especially the one with Selena. "That's harsh," he said quietly. "What did you say?"
Taylor shrugged, looking down at her hands. "I tried to explain that it wasn't intentional, that I was just as surprised as anyone by the wins. But she kept going on about how I never think about how my success affects others, and it just... it hurt, you know? We've always supported each other."
Gigi put a comforting hand on Taylor's shoulder. "I mean, it's not like you planned to win everything. It's not your fault you're talented and hardworking."
Brittany chimed in, her tone lightening. "Plus, it's not like the fans and the industry aren't behind you. You worked for it, and you earned it. Anyone who knows you knows you're not about stealing the spotlight from others."
