Ok so Wattpad just randomly deleted this chapter so here I am rewriting it
I based it on the TikTok by Abbyhousberg
The entire backstage area was buzzing with the kind of energy that only comes before a major event. Taylor Swift's *Eras Tour* had been monumental, each show bigger than the last, but tonight? Tonight had a different feel to it. It was one of the final stops in Los Angeles, and not just any audience had gathered for the show. In the VIP section sat some of the most important people in her life—Travis Kelce, of course, with his family and friends, including Ross, Patrick, Patrick's wife Brittney, and Travis's brother Jason. Alongside them were Taylor's longtime friends: Abigail, Blake and Ryan, Gigi Hadid, and the Haim sisters.
Backstage, Taylor was finishing her final preparations. She was known for her meticulous planning and attention to detail, but this particular surprise had her more nervous than usual. She checked her reflection in the mirror one last time, her signature red lipstick perfectly applied, then adjusted the sparkling custom gown that shimmered like a million tiny diamonds under the lights. She could hear the excited hum of the crowd, their voices reverberating through the walls of the dressing room.
Travis, sitting nearby on one of the plush couches, looked completely at ease, legs stretched out and arm draped casually along the back of the couch. But Taylor knew him better than that. She could tell from the way his fingers were tapping lightly on the cushion that he was just as amped for the show as the crowd outside.
Taylor glanced over at him and smiled, warmth spreading through her chest. He had no idea what was coming. For weeks, she had been working on this surprise—a rewritten version of *London Boy* just for him, something to commemorate their relationship in a way that only she could. Travis had always been her biggest fan, her biggest supporter, and tonight she was going to show him just how much he meant to her, not just privately but in front of thousands of fans.

**A Few Weeks Earlier:**
Taylor sat in the cozy little studio Travis had built for her in their Kansas City home. It was one of his anniversary gifts to her—a quiet place where she could create, away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. The room smelled faintly of sawdust and fresh paint, the soft glow of the late afternoon sun filtering through the large window that overlooked their sprawling backyard.
Her hands moved effortlessly over the keys of the piano, the familiar chords of *London Boy* filling the room. But something was different this time. The lyrics that she had originally written, the ones about London and the charm of British boys, no longer felt like they fit her life. Travis had become the center of her world, and it was time to tell their story. She glanced down at the notepad beside her, filled with scribbled-out lines and revisions.
"I swore at 15, never an athlete," she muttered, testing the line before scribbling down a new one. She laughed softly to herself. "But you came, and you're nothing like they said you'd be." That line was perfect.
She spent hours in that studio, tweaking every word until the song no longer resembled its original version. The melody stayed the same, but now the lyrics told the story of her life with Travis—the quiet moments, the big games, the inside jokes, and all the things she had come to love about her football boy. She had even added in a few nods to his favorite things: tailgates, beer games, and those infamous podcasts he and his brother Jason did on Wednesdays.
Taylor could already picture the look on Travis's face when he heard the new version of the song. She imagined his eyes widening, that slow, crooked grin spreading across his face as he realized what she had done. This was going to be their song now.

**Present Day: The Stadium**
The energy inside SoFi Stadium was electric. Fans were buzzing with excitement, their LED wristbands lighting up the entire arena in waves of color. The stage glowed with a soft, ethereal light as Taylor stepped out for her surprise song segment of the night. She had just finished an emotional performance of *All Too Well (10 Minute Version)* and was transitioning into the part of the show everyone eagerly anticipated—what would tonight's surprise song be?
