May 13th, 2023

Elara was getting impatient. She wasn't even able to watch the show from backstage. She was just sitting on the platform, waiting to get lifted up. Turns out, the stage is a lot more wobbly than the ones she preformed on.

It was almost time for the surprise songs set, and Elara was warming up her guitar. The plan was, for Taylor to talk about it being the thirteenth, and how the day makes her happy, so she'd bring out a friend to make her happy. They'd then play the song they wrote together, which nobody has heard.

The nerves in her stomach were twisting like crazy. She had performed to stadiums just as big as this one, but the energy Swifties has was something Elara didn't have with her fans. Not that she doesn't love her fans, but the connection Swifties had with Taylor makes performing for them terrifying. They had very strong opinions.

Elara wasn't as focused on her surroundings as she was on tuning her guitar. She was going over the lyrics in her head, humming to the beat. She only snapped back into reality when the chaos backstage stared, signaling the start of the surprise song set.

A lot of the dancers were listening intensely to see what she was saying. They were really interested in what songs would be played that night, making guesses on what she was doing.

"I don't know if I've ever said this before, but thirteen is my favorite number." Elara could hear Taylor giggling a little bit in the microphone. "And today is May thirteenth." The crowd grew louder than it had all night. When Elara went to the show, she had completely lost her voice by then. How they were so loud was beyond her.

"So I wanted you guys to meet someone who makes me happy, so give it up for one of my best friends ever, Elara Fleur!" As the crowd cheered at her name, the stage lifted up from under her, almost making her fall over as it brought her out onto the stage.

The stage was humongous. The crowd even larger. But Elara knew how to handle the crowd. She gave the camera in front of her a beaming grin, and blew a kiss as she walked up to the microphone next to Taylor's.

"Well hi there y'all!" The accent from her home state of Kentucky started to come out when talking, and the microphone exaggerated it more. Her voice was unique, between her mom being French, and growing up in Kentucky, it was something you didn't hear often.
