Tayvis( Taylor swift and Travis Kelce)

Telling Tree

AN: Sorry this one is really short but I had this idea and wanted to get it out to you guys.

August 2023

Tree's POV:

The soft music playing in my ears over the planes engine isn't even enough to distract me from my thoughts. We are on our way home from our trip to Mexico City and something is up with Taylor. I have worked with her since 2014 and it's my job to know whats going on in her head, and right now I have no idea. This whole trip to Mexico she preformed flawlessly like always, but she has been more isolated and spending more time on her phone, which is not like her. I glance over at Scott, who is blissfully unaware of anything different and is doing a crossword puzzle on his iPad. I turn my attention to the popstar who is lounging on the couch with her headphones on and her songwriting journal open in front of her. None of which is weird, but what is weird is the pen hasn't been picked up in over ten minutes and the large smile on her face as she types out a reply on her phone.

From a PR standpoint I should demand answers from her so I am not caught off guard, but from her friend point of view, she has had one hell of a year and she deserves some happiness in any form. Joe wrecked the light he had once put in her eyes and I began to notice it back in 2021, but even more so when she was more permanently in the US for the Eras Tour prep in 2022. So when she came to be late December 2022 and said they were done but they were going to hold off announcing it yet, there was no surprise from me.

What was a surprise was Matty Healy. He had always been waiting in the wings and was the first to love bomb Taylor anytime she and Joe were on the rocks or even before they were together. He is a PR person's nightmare, drugs, racist comments, and awful public decisions. But he made Taylor happy, for at least a little while. Then he was gone, and the light had been extinguished from her eyes once again.

The captain comes over the loud speaker letting us know we are getting close to landing in Nashville, where Scott and I will depart, and Taylor will head to New York. I walk over to the couch she is on and see her fumble her phone laying it facedown as quick as possible.

"Hey Tree, whats up?" She asks pretending that I didn't see her react so strongly.

"Not much, just wanted to check in with you before we depart. You are on a break for a bit before you hit South America and I only have you down for the Movie Premier, anything else I should be aware of during this period?" I gently ask trying not to pry but also leaving the door open for her to tell me anything. I watch as her face turns a slight shade of pink and she shakes her head looking over my head towards her dad.

"Nope! I don't think I have anything you need to be aware of, but I will keep you in the loop if that changes." She says as the wheels hit the ground. I roll my eyes and pack up my bags as Scott climbs out of the plane and I see my husband waiting in our SUV on the tarmac.

"I'm going to drop it for now, but if whatever or whoever is making you smile that hard becomes something I need to be aware of, please do it before it turns into a PR nightmare." I give as my parting words before slinking myself down the stairs and into the arms of my husband.

"Everything ok?" He asks as I slide into the passenger seat and stare at the plane preparing for departure.

"Hope so." I mumble mainly to myself. I can't force Taylor to tell me anything but it would be a lot easier if she would just tell me before we have an issue.

It's only a few days later when I am lounging on couch with Lance late at night and my phone pings multiple times in a row. I contemplate ignoring it, but something gnaws at my gut to grab the phone off of the table.

Taylor: I'm sorry

Taylor: I think I might have messed up. Please don't hate me.

Taylor: Shit. It's midnight.
