Chapter 23 - Grammys and Valentine's

February 5th
Anna's POV

Today is the day of the Grammys, and I am so excited. Shawn is nominated for Album of the year, I am really hoping he will win, but on the other hand I am a major swiftie and I know how huge Taylor Swift is so unfortunately I think Shawn might lose to her. This is probably the biggest event in music history and I am so excited, my red carpet debut was the weekend we got engaged last year. This time I am walking most of the red carpet with Shawn because we now have been together for a longer period and because I have gotten a little more "famous".

Shawn is pacing back and forth while I am getting my hair and makeup done, "darling please sit down" I tell him but he shakes his head. I get up from my chair and pause the people helping me get ready, and grab both of Shawn's arms "darling you need to calm down... you are going to do great" I say before kissing him, he nods and before sitting down. "Shawn you should go get dressed, they want to take a few pictures before we leave..." Andrew says walking in the door, "Also Anna how long till you are done?" Andrew asks and I look towards the people helping me, "Maybe 15 minutes" they say and Andrew nods.

As I finish I walk into the connecting hotel room and all they boys look my way with wide eyes and their jaws on the floor. "Damn" Geoff says and I giggle, "Darling you look amazing" Shawn says walking towards me and kissing my forehead. "Thank you... you too" I say and he smiles, this dress is amazing, I am wearing a vintage Bob Mackie piece, which is also me paying tribute to Madonna, who is an absolute icon.

As we get to the red carpet, I start getting nervous, what if this dress is too much, what if I am way too overdressed, way too many thoughts start going through my head, and I see Shawn noticing. "Darling you are going to do great," he says and I take a deep breath and nod. We get out of the car, and get in line for the carpet, I instantly spot Taylor Swift a little in front of us, and I freak out a little.

We are now ready to walk onto the carpet and Shawn grabs my hand as he walks forward. We get to the spot and Shawn puts his arm around my waist as we pose for the paparazzi. We stand for a while and walk our way down the carpet before I leave Shawn to take a couple of solo photos. After the carpet, Shawn has to do a couple of interviews, so we just have to wait for him to finish. "You did great," Andrew tells me as we stand waiting for Shawn, "thank you... that really means a lot" I say making him smile and nod, before I feel him pushing my back. I look up to see Shawn waving me over, now noticing it is Andrew pushing me over there. "Anna so glad you wanted to join us" the interviewer says and I nod, "thank you for having me" I say, I had no idea I was going to be doing interviews with Shawn. "So Anna you look amazing tonight, who are you wearing?" he asks and I smile, "thank you... I am wearing a vintage Bob Mackie dress, and to be honest this is probably the dress of my dreams," I say and he nods. "It looks very similar to a dress Madonna once wore, did you get your inspiration there?" he asks and I nod, we talk for a little more before we are done and heading inside the venue.

As we walk towards the table we are going to be sitting at, I notice someone is already sitting there. I punch Shawn's arm over and over before he looks at me "that is Taylor Swift" I whisper yell nodding towards the table, "I know," he says smiling and kissing me. Oh my god I am going to be sitting at the same table as Taylor Swift. Before we sit down Taylor stands up and hugs Shawn before turning to me "oh my god Anna I have been dying to meet you" she says and I am standing there shook, Taylor Swift has been dying to meet me I cannot believe it. I might have stood still for a little too long because everyone is giggling, "sorry" I say before hugging her "it is so nice to finally meet you too" I say and she smiles, "Shawn has told me so much about you" she says making me smile wide.

We have now gotten to Shawn's category, he grabs my hand under the table and squeezes it. I have gotten media trained since becoming a girlfriend to a major pop star, so I know if Shawn does not win, I still have to smile and be happy for whom ever wins and then we can be sad when we get home. "And the winner for album of the year is..." Celine Dion says and we take a deep breath, "Taylor Swift" she says, we all smile and clap before she walks to the stage and receive her award.
