We've Got Game

The Era's Tour Surprise

Taylor sat in her dressing room with Tree Paine as she took her time preparing for tonight's show. "So.... All of them are coming tonight?" Tree asks. "Yup! Donna, Jason and Kylie and their two oldest girls and Trav is hoping to swing it but I'm not sure." Taylor responded.

The concert was in Philly where the Kelce family predominantly resided. Donna offered for Taylor to come spend the weekend at her home for the duration of her four show run in Philly. Taylor happily accepted, thankful she wouldn't have to stay in a hotel.

Taylor adored Tree but drew a hard line that she never allowed herself to cross over into "friends." Tree was a master at what she does for Taylor and Tree knows Taylor doesn't want to jeopardize that. However, every once in a while Taylor and Tree could sit and talk about everything under the sun and Taylor would update her on her life. "So.." tree probed "how's Travis?" She asked with a wink and slight shoulder shove. Taylor gigged and blushed. "I feel like I'm living a dream. It's really true about what they say. When you find the one you don't even think about any past relationships. I mean I spent seven years with Joe and I hardly ever let him pass through my brain. Travis looks out for me in so many ways. Like tonight, he has Chiefs press happening and I know theoretically he can't get here tonight but I just know that he'll be thinking about fifty ways to get here until the clock strikes midnight and the day is over. Nobody has ever cared enough about my concerts to do that." Tree just looked at her and beamed and smiled. "What??" Taylor asked with a giggle. "You asked so I told you!" She said laughing and shoving Tree playfully. "Did you realize you just said.. the one..?" Tree asked with a smirk causing Taylor's blush to carry into her ears and burn her cheeks. "Well... we kinda talked about it. I really do think this is it." She responded shyly. Tree hugged Taylor tight and whispered "I'm so beyond happy for you, Taylor."

The concert began and Taylor was in her highest energy. Trying her best to put on the best show possible for the Kelce family's first time at the Era's show. She wanted to make sure they had the best time. Taylor even thought that it couldn't be going much better. The crowd's energy was top notch, her vocals were hitting, and everything was going seamlessly.

She reached the Tortured Poet's Department section of the concert and finished up "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived" and rolled over to prepare for Kam and Jan to come out for "I Can Do It With A Broken Heart." When they emerged from the floor the crowd was screaming more wild than usual for this part. She was scooped off the floor and carried as usual but the crowd was still screaming wildly. She refused to open her eyes and break character but the person carrying her definitely wasn't who normally does it. When she finally hit the couch she allowed herself to peak slightly and she could have fainted. It was Travis!!! Travis Kelce was on stage with her participating in this act. She remained composed as best she could but she wanted to simultaneously cry and laugh as she hugged his neck. The act continued and when she could finally open her eyes she queued her band to drag out the instrumentals as she threw herself around his neck.  She physically couldn't help it. As she stepped back she  began to giggle and smirk at his tuxedo. Travis raised his eyebrows at her as he always does when she starts gearing up to tease him. Taylor asked for a mic and decided to speak. "Philly I'm so sorry for the interruption but we have imposter on stage!" She said jokingly and laughing into the mic. Travis held his hands out to the side and did a little spin. The crowd erupted in cheer. "Obviously I had no idea he would be here but I'm so glad he is." The crowd somehow screamed even more when she ran and pecked his cheek and hugged him again. He whispered in her ear "your streak of not breaking character during this part is over baby doll." She stuck her tongue out at him and said "we'll see about that." She turned back to her audience and spoke again "we're going to try this little number again from the beginning. She handed off her mic and took her spot back on stage as if The Smallest Man just ended. The act started all over and now that she knew to expect her boyfriend she would be more prepared. He came over to her and scooped her up but this time trying everything to "wake her" he placed quick silly kisses on her face, shook her, whispered in her ear and finally placed quick jabs at her ribs as he lowered her to the couch. The crowd cheered when they saw her lips desperately trying to fight a smile. Taylor was brought to her feet and as Jan and Kam changed her. Travis brought out the makeup brush and she once again fought another smile tugging at her lips at the disbelief over what was happening. He walked over to her and started using the brush on her face to "touch up." He took the brush and wiggled it all over her face and neck and she finally let out a breathy laugh through her nose and smiled and the crowd went insane. She pushed his hand away as she began singing the rest of the song.

After the show ended Taylor sprinted backstage as fast as possible until she found Travis standing at the end of the hall. She took off running towards him and yelled "you turkey!!" As she threw herself into his arms. They kissed passionately while he held her. "Jesus, get a room." Jason said jokingly. Taylor blushed not even realizing his family was behind him.

They all left the show singing Taylor's praises. Jason and Kylie returned to their home and Travis accompanied Taylor to his mom's house for the weekend. "Taylor please tell me you need to eat something after performing like that?" Donna asked practically begging to cook something for Taylor despite it being past midnight. "I do usually eat a substantial meal afterwards but can easily make it myself!" Taylor declared. Donna looked back at her and Travis sitting on the couch and responded "over my dead body." She moved to the kitchen area of her open floor plan house and began cooking.

Taylor relaxed into the couch and sighed a content sigh. "There's something about coming here after a show. It's so homey." Taylor said. Donna couldn't help but overhear and smile to herself. "I can't believe you made it to my show!! And I really can't believe Tree let you on stage." Taylor said giggling. Travis laughed too. "It really didn't take much convincing. She was so excited about it." Travis said as he grabbed Taylor's feet and placed them in his lap. "What're you doing?" Taylor asked. "I was going to massage your feet. Do you mind?" He asked with an amused grin. "You only walked in heels and danced and sang for three and a half hours I figured you could use one!" He added. Taylor smirked "are you really planning to massage? I figured you'd use it as an excuse to tickle me." She said with her own amused grin. "I didn't plan on it but I'll keep that in mind." He said with a wink. As soon as his hands touched her feet she jumped. He tried to apply more pressure and she broke out in giggles. "Don't tell me you're so ticklish I can't massage your feet?" He said with eyebrows raised. She couldn't muster words so she hid behind her hands and shook her head. "Let me try again. I'm not going to tickle you, I want you to relax." He further explained. He touched her feet again and the giggles came back full force. Every time he moved his hands elsewhere she jumped again dissolving in more giggles. "Well if you're going to giggle anyway I may as well go for it." He said jokingly as he tightened his grip on her feet and tickled them furiously. Taylor dissolved into the couch as loud, booming laughter filled the room. "You are so adorable Taylor Swift." Travis added as he continued his torment. Taylor shrieked loudly as he found a new ticklish spot on the top of her foot. She gasped loudly. "DONNA, PLEASE....HELP...." Taylor screamed out in between hysterical laughter and thrashing. "Travis, the girl just performed for over three hours." She said matter of factly. "Well, mom I tried to give her a massage!" Travis yelled back. He finally stopped and Taylor sat up and hit him multiple times while laughing. I'm SO getting revenge for making me break character on stage and for your assault. She said and smacked him one last time over the head.

Donna brought in grilled cheese sandwiches and homemade soup. Taylor filled her stomach and her heart before falling asleep peacefully in the arms of her favorite person.
