Taylor Swift and Tree Paine Oneshots

Unwanted surprise

Requested by @dafuz282

Taylor Swift had made it clear, multiple times, that she hated surprises. Tree Paine knew this better than anyone. Taylor was meticulous, always in control, and surprises threw her off in a way that made her uncomfortable. But this was different. Taylor's 35th birthday was approaching, and Tree had convinced herself that this time, a surprise might just be the perfect thing—especially with Travis Kelce's proposal planned to be the highlight of the night.

After weeks of secret planning, Tree had pulled off what she believed was an intimate and elegant party. She had gathered Taylor's closest friends and family, keeping the guest list small and manageable, knowing Taylor wouldn't want anything overwhelming. Travis had been in on the plan from the start, his nerves growing as the date approached.

The house was tastefully decorated, soft twinkling lights draped over the patio, and Taylor's favorite flowers—peonies and hydrangeas—were everywhere. The atmosphere was calm, intimate, and Tree was sure it would feel more like a family gathering than the dreaded 'surprise party.'

Taylor had been working on music all day, completely unaware of what awaited her at home. When she finally pulled into the driveway, Travis met her at the door, his smile wide but his eyes betraying the anxiety he was hiding.

"Hey," he greeted, trying to keep his voice casual. "You ready for a relaxing evening?"

Taylor raised an eyebrow, sensing something was up. "What are you up to?" she asked suspiciously.

Travis gave a nonchalant shrug. "Just thought we'd have a nice night. Maybe a quiet dinner, just the two of us?"

Taylor smiled, the idea of a peaceful evening sounding perfect after a long day. "Sounds amazing."

Travis opened the door for her, leading her inside. The house was quiet—almost too quiet. As they walked into the living room, the lights flicked on, and the shout rang out:

"Surprise!"

Taylor froze, her eyes widening in shock as she took in the scene. The room was filled with all her closest friends and family, including her parents, brother, and a few key members of her team. Streamers hung from the ceiling, and a large banner read "Happy 35th Birthday, Taylor!" in gold lettering.

Her jaw dropped, and her heart raced as she spun around to face Travis and Tree, both standing sheepishly behind her. "Are you kidding me?" she asked, half-laughing, half-panicked. "You threw me a surprise party?"

Tree stepped forward, trying to look as innocent as possible. "I know, I know. You hate surprises. But I thought—just this once—it might be okay."

Taylor put her hands on her hips, shaking her head in disbelief. "Tree, you're lucky I love you, or I would be so mad right now."

The room erupted into laughter, and Taylor sighed, realizing that, despite her initial shock, it was actually... nice. The party was small and intimate, and it felt less like an overwhelming event and more like a cozy gathering with the people she loved the most.

As the night wore on, Taylor relaxed more and more, mingling with her friends and family, laughing at old stories, and letting go of the stress she had initially felt. Travis had been glued to her side, sneaking her playful glances that she couldn't quite decipher.

Then, as the night began to wind down, the music softened, and Tree cleared her throat from the front of the room. "Alright, everyone, I think there's one more surprise left," she said with a smile that hinted she knew something no one else did—except for one other person in the room.

Taylor shot her a look. "Tree, if this is another surprise, I swear—"

But before she could finish her sentence, Travis gently took her hand, guiding her toward the center of the room. Her breath caught in her throat as she noticed the sudden shift in his demeanor. He looked nervous—more nervous than she had ever seen him.

"Travis, what's going on?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.

He smiled softly, his eyes full of love as he held both of her hands. "Tay," he began, his voice steady but thick with emotion, "you know how much you mean to me. Every day I spend with you is the best day of my life. And even though you hate surprises..." he smirked, "I figured this one might be worth it."

Taylor's heart raced, realization slowly dawning on her as Travis reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box. Her hands flew to her mouth, her eyes wide with shock.

"Oh my God," she whispered, her heart pounding in her chest.

Travis dropped to one knee, holding up the box as he opened it to reveal a stunning engagement ring. The room went silent, all eyes on the couple in the center.

"Taylor Alison Swift," Travis said, his voice full of sincerity and love, "will you marry me?"

Tears filled Taylor's eyes as she looked down at the man she loved. It was the ultimate surprise, the kind she never would have asked for but suddenly couldn't imagine her life without. She laughed through her tears, nodding as she tried to find her voice.

"Yes," she whispered, then louder, "Yes! Of course, I will."

The room erupted in cheers and applause as Travis stood up, slipping the ring onto her finger before pulling her into a deep kiss. Taylor wrapped her arms around his neck, forgetting all about her earlier frustrations. This was the best kind of surprise.

When they finally pulled apart, Taylor wiped her tears, her smile wider than it had been all night. "Okay," she said, looking between Travis and Tree, "you two are officially off the hook for the surprise party."

Travis grinned, wrapping his arm around her waist. "I knew you'd come around."

Tree, standing nearby with a proud smile, winked at Taylor. "I told you it would be worth it."

As the night continued, the atmosphere shifted into one of celebration and joy, the surprise party now a backdrop to the even bigger celebration—Taylor and Travis's engagement. And even though Taylor had always hated surprises, she couldn't help but admit that this one had turned out to be perfect.
