Stars on Broadway - Morgan Wallen

Chapter 29 - The Media Frenzy

The morning after the CMA Awards, the world was buzzing, and Georgie and Morgan were at the center of it. They had woken up to a tidal wave of notifications—articles, social media posts, and fan theories swirling around their wins, matching outfits, and the playful banter they had shared on stage.

Georgie lay in bed, scrolling through her phone, her screen filled with endless headlines:

@CountryBuzz: Georgie Day and Morgan Wallen: Country Music's Hottest Duo? Their Matching Outfits and Chemistry Stole the Show at the CMAs!
@RumourMill: Morgan Wallen and Georgie Day's Speech Has Fans CONVINCED They're More Than Just Friends! Are They Secretly Dating?

The speculation was at an all-time high, and fans couldn't get enough of the mystery. Georgie glanced over at Morgan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at his phone with a mix of amusement and disbelief.

"They're really going all in on this," Georgie said, holding up her phone to show him one of the many articles.

Morgan chuckled, shaking his head. "Oh, it's everywhere. They're convinced we planned this whole thing."

Georgie smirked. "Well, I guess technically we did. Just not the way they think."

She opened Twitter and was immediately greeted by a flood of fan reactions. Some were lighthearted, celebrating their wins and playfully speculating about their relationship. Others were more intense, dissecting every detail of their red carpet appearance and speeches.

@Georgie&MorganShippers: I'm sorry, but there's NO WAY Georgie and Morgan aren't a couple. Did you see how they looked at each other? I'm dying!!
@FansReacting: The matching outfits were enough, but that speech?! They're totally in love. Just admit it already!
@CountryRumour: I've got a theory: Georgie and Morgan are trolling us, but they're DEFINITELY together. The chemistry was off the charts at the CMAs.

Georgie shook her head, laughing softly. "They're losing their minds."

Morgan nodded, scrolling through similar posts. "I mean, we didn't exactly help the situation with that speech."

"True," Georgie agreed, thinking back to the moment on stage when they had teased the audience about their outfits and shared their playful banter. It had been fun, and they knew what they were doing. But now the media had run with it, turning their performance into the hottest story in country music.

As Georgie continued reading through the comments, she found herself torn between amusement and frustration. She had always known that being in the public eye came with scrutiny, but this was a whole new level. Every glance, every word, every move was being analyzed and turned into something bigger than it was.

Later that morning, Georgie's manager called, her voice a mix of excitement and urgency. "Georgie, you're all over the headlines. This is huge. The media is going crazy over you and Morgan."

Georgie sighed, running a hand through her hair. "Yeah, I've noticed. Is it too much, though?"

Her manager hesitated. "It's a lot, but that's the price of fame. The fans are invested, and the more they talk about you, the more your name stays out there. But... we need to be careful."

"Careful how?" Georgie asked, already sensing where the conversation was going.

"Careful about how much you're feeding into the rumors," her manager replied. "You're in a great position right now, but the speculation is only going to grow. You and Morgan need to decide how you want to handle this. If you keep teasing them, it could get out of control."

Georgie glanced at Morgan, who was still reading through the headlines, his expression unreadable. "Yeah, I know. We'll figure it out."

Meanwhile, on social media, fans and media outlets were in a frenzy.
