Forever in a Moment

Prologue...

Taylor Swift's POV

It might seem like I'm having the time of my life dancing to 'What Makes You Beautiful' by One Direction, but all I really want to do is cuddle with Meredith at home.

I love award shows, I genuinely do! Being a people pleaser, any type of validation makes my day. I love knowing that young children enjoy my music. But at this point, my management has compelled me to attend so many shows for the sake of publicity, that it is hard to find a day to myself. A day where I can just bake chai cookies, or just watch Law and Order. 

Every time I go to these award shows, I again have to maintain the image of a country princess. I have to be 'perfect'. I have to maintain the 'perfect' image. It kind of gets annoying after a point. According to me, one's imperfections makes them unique. 

Anyway, on a separate note, I am actively anticipating and am overwhelmingly excited for the release of my new album 'RED'. (Excuse my use of access adjectives) During the process of recording this album, I have really explored different genres of music like pop. I really want to be considered as more than just 'a teenage girl who writes country music'

All the great and legendary artists, like Madonna, have been known for reinventing themselves. The sad reality is that in the music industry, especially for females, your moment of fame is very short unless you can keep the audience captivated. The general people lose interest in you very quickly. Thus I must keep reinventing myself and exploring different genres of music to actually captivate the general people and survive in the music industry for a long period of time. 

Just as the song concludes, I feel my best friend, Selena tugging my arm.

'That performance was actually wonderful! I did not accept a bunch on 17-year-olds to actually catch my attention,' Selena said.

'Sel, was the performance good or just Zayn's looks?' I replied, smirking. It was common knowledge that Selena had a minor celebrity crush on Zayn. I don't really think she would ever go out with him, but I guess it was cute? 

'Whatever Tay, let's go and meet them' Selena said, dragging me towards the changing room, where the band was probably gathered.

As Selena spoke to Zayn, all flustered and blushing, I decided to speak with Harry Styles. And I guess it is safe to say, that this is the moment where my life changed (for better or for worse?)
