Wildest Dreams (Tayvin)

Cat Week 2016

TAYLOR POV

"Hey babe.... I just got to the studio for the interview....um....text me when you are free.... I miss you." I said when Adam's voicemail beeped for me to leave a message.

I hadn't spoken to him properly for 3 days and hadn't seen him in over 2 weeks. I needed to see him, preferably face to face, but he was in Vegas all weekend playing back to back shows and I had just gotten back from touring and recording in Europe for 3 weeks. The time differences had been hellish.

Today I had landed from the UK, gone home to change, and was now heading to an interview with Ellen. My schedule was power packed at the moment, but I had a few weeks off after this and had organised some fun and relaxing things to do, including going to Adam's shows in Vegas or wherever he was over the next couple of weeks.

"Hey Tay!" Ellen said as I got out of the car and went into the building.

"Hi!! I can't believe it's been nearly 2 years since I was actually a guest being interviewed on your show!" I told her as I gave her a hug. The last time I was interviewed for her show was when 1989 was being released.... now it was almost 2 years old and I was back, although not to promote an album, just to chat and everything. It was cat week so that would be fun.

"Well.... get ready and I'll see you out there!" She told me, grinning at me mischievously as she walked away to start the show.

I started to worry.... You never know what to expect with Ellen.... But I could deal with it, I think....

"Ladies and Gentlemen.... please welcome the one and only Taylor Swift!" Ellen announced.

I walked out, dancing slightly awkwardsylto the music, and greeted Ellen before waving to the audience.

"So...how's life going?" Ellen asked, holding up prompt cards, although I knew they were basically blank.

"Pretty awesome really! I just got back from touring in Europe, which was so much fun! I played a few festivals, had some writing sessions with people I've always wanted to work with, and got to actually travel around a little too!" I told her, smiling as I remembered the first week there when Adam was there too and we went to visit his parents in Scotland and went on a little British road trip before spending 2 days in the south of France.

"Yeah, it looked like fun!" Ellen said as pictures from my Instagram came up on the screen. "So does that mean new music soon?"

"Well I am definitely writing but I don't think I'll be releasing anything for a little while.... I'm not in a rush! I'm just going to keep playing shows and getting to know fans better, see what they want too!" I told her. I had written about 40 usable songs but nothing felt as sonically cohesive as I wanted so I was still working on it all.

"Okay... so it's cat week this week....and as everyone knows you have some of the cutest kitties in the world." Ellen said, as pictures of Olivia and Meredith came up on screen.

"They can be annoying sometimes, but you can't not love them.... just look at them!!" I said, looking at the photos, "I miss them so much!"

"Where are they now?" Ellen asked.

"Well they were staying at home in LA while I was in Europe, with various people.... but they are at my mom's right now until I pick them up." I explained.

"Did their dad look after them at his house?" Ellen asked.

I looked at her with a puzzled look, even though I knew what she was implying.

"Did their...dad?" I asked

"Yeah.... did the cats stay with Calvin while you were away...." Ellen said very slowly.
