Taylor's P.O.V

"You ready to rock the house down Swifty?" Amos calls as he walks past me with his bass guitar on the way to his stage entrance. "For sure A. You ready to rock the Grammys?" He nods and throws his head back laughing. "For sure." I grin and snap my ear piece into place as I re-arrange my outfit as the curtain rises and I step onto stage. The minute the beat hits I throw my arms out like a tree, which is a pun that works with the song Out of the Woods. I can't help but think about the song and the day that I wrote it. It was early in the morning when I came up with the chorus and ever since I wrote it I couldn't get it out of my head until it's completely written.
 
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good
In the clear yet, good

The smile hits my face as the crowd stands up and erupts in cheers all around as I finish on the center stage. 'Wow!' that was amazing I think as I step off the stage and into the hallway behind backstage. "That was amazing Taylor." Tree states coming to pause next to my dressing room,
"I missed a note, but it was good." I nod removing my ear piece as I step into the room.
"Oh here, take this." Tree states handing me my vibrating cellphone. I take one look at the caller and smile. "Hey baby," I coo swiping my phone and walking into the room. Tree is behind me and tells me I have twenty minutes before I have to be back out there. I nod and continue to talk to my love. "That was an amazing performance. I swear every time I watch you perform live or on TV you get better and better." I smile as I lock the door and begin to undress and change back into my dress I arrived in. "Thanks baby..." I state putting the phone on speaker and then continuing to talk. "You're welcome, how long do you have?" I look at the time and see that I have less than ten and I've still got to put my make-up on for the main show. "About ten, I've really got to get back out there quickly but what are you doing? Have you got a shoot tonight?"
"Hell no! Meredith and I are watching the Grammy's live right now." I think about Meredith and Karlie side by side on my couch in the lounge watching the Grammys. "Meredith is actually watching?" I question interested in what Meredith is actually doing for once. "You know it, she loves me more than you anyway." I sigh knowing that she's right.
"True, well I need to get dressed. I'll see you tonight when I get home?" I question stripping out of my costume. "Yeah you will now go and win us some more Grammy awards for the mantle." I laugh and nod my head despite the fact that Karlie can't actually see me. "Sure babe. I'll try, give my babies a hug and a kiss. Love you." I state before waiting for her response and then hanging up. "Will do, love you too." I smile and hang up and just as I finish adjusting myself for the main awards I hear Tree knock and I know it's go time.

As the night progresses I manage to please Karlie as I win a Grammy for Best Music Video for Bad Blood which I couldn't have done without the help of Kendrick Lamar or my best friends, Karlie being one of them. Just for her when they announce my name for Best Pop Vocal Album I wink at the crowd, the crowd goes wild obviously thinking that I'm motioning it at them but I'm not and only Karlie knows that I'm doing it for her. I can hardly sit still as they cut to a commercial after Adele's performance that I sat and swayed too the entire time. I love Adele and in a place where women are always pitted against one another I think that it's great that the paparazzi or gossip sights don't know absolutely everything that goes on in celebrity lives. I can feel myself getting nervous and as soon as the live show is back on and the nominations for Album of the Year are said. I feel myself tense next to Selena and then they say, "1989, Taylor Swift!" I leap from my seat in excitement and I can't believe it. I naturally do my surprise face but as I make my way up to the stage I look to the side and see Tree standing there and clapping. 'Oh my god' I think as I walk to the stage. 'I have 10 Grammy Awards now' My mind is fully blown when I realise just how many awards I do have.

Reach the podium and look out into the sea of faces and I just stop and think. "Well here we are again folks..." Jack Anatanoff states as he looks at me, I smile at him and he says, "Taylor Swift ladies and gentlemen." I take my position and look out once more.
"Hey guys, so I've already talked far too much tonight but I just want to say a few more things...One, I'm so thankful to the fans of this album who allowed this music into their homes and into your brains. I know that the lyrics sometimes shock people but I love the fact that you have all been so passionate about this music. I love you all so much but I just want to say thank-you to one more person." I look out and see a crowd of people looking at me, some are looking at the person next to them and are whispering and I know that they are wondering who I could possibly be talking about. After a huge breath in and out I look at Jack who smiles, he knows. "So this will have reprocutions and it will be all over the news for the next six months but I'm here to tell you that I don't care. I don't care what you all think and I'm not afraid of who knows anymore. So Karlie Elizabeth Kloss I love you and I want to thank you for the inspiration that you've given me to write this album so clear a spot on the mantle I'm bringing home Album of the Year for you. I love you." I say blowing a kiss to the camera as I look out to the crowd and I know that I've just made my life more difficult but I don't care because I love her. Stepping back from the podium my heart drops and I can't breathe but Jack moves next to me and as I look at him I know that regardless of how this plays out I'm in love and I couldn't be more happy if I tried.

To be continued in Girlfriend of the Year.
