Karlie opened the glass door that led to the backyard, enjoying the fresh breeze that entered the house. She stepped outside, holding a glass of orange juice. The early morning sun's rays were not warm yet compared to the temperature that would be during the day, but already warm compared to New York, where it was already chilly. After a minute Karlie stepped inside again, not wanting the cats to sneak out while she wasn't looking, and checked her phone. It was a few minutes before 8 am.

She went further into the room and picked up Olivia who had been straying around the house.

"Hello Dibbles, are you excited to see Tay on TV, too?" she cooed at the small, white kitten as she sat down on the couch.

The young cat meowed in response, and Karlie laughed. She switched on the TV, but the program Taylor would be on was still showing advertisements. Karlie yawned. She had already gone for a short run, the morning air feeling refreshing, but now that she was sitting on the couch again, hair still wet from her shower and in comfortable clothes, she felt tired again. She hadn't heard Taylor leaving early in the morning, the singer having to be at the studio in downtown LA early for hair and make-up.

"Good morning California!" the announcer's voice could suddenly be heard from the TV, and Karlie directed her attention towards it.

The theme song started playing and a summary of the breaking news was given, then the studio with the hosts and audience appeared on screen. Karlie had no idea at what time Taylor would enter the studio, as this wasn't a news program she usually watched, given the fact that it wasn't broadcast in her area.

She felt nervous, like she always did whenever Taylor did anything. Olivia, however, did not seem too excited about seeing her human on TV, as Karlie realized when she looked down on her lap and saw that the kitten had fallen asleep. Meredith was still upstairs, and Karlie always thought it was funny how the cats had no idea who their human companion was.

Around twenty minutes into the program, Taylor was finally announced and entered the studio with thunderous applause from the audience and took a seat on the coach between the two hosts. Karlie's breath hitched in her throat at the sight of her; she would never get used to how different Taylor looked on TV and in private. Her appearance was much bolder, more out-going, but also more feminine in front of the cameras. She was wearing a dress with t-shirt sleeves and a bold black, yellow and gray pattern, and her signature red lipstick. Her recently cut hair was at shoulder-length and straightened.

Even though Karlie already knew everything that was being discussed by Taylor and the hosts, she still listened attentively, unable to tear her eyes away from her girlfriend.

"So, Taylor, your new album 1989 was only released a week ago, and it has already made history! We got the statistics on the first week sales this morning and it sold 1.287 million copies so far! That is amazing!" the host announced.

"Thank you! I'm really thankful for everyone who bought it and likes the music. It means a lot to me!" Taylor said and smiled.

Karlie felt so proud of her. She had been the first one to listen to the album, and she would always hold the memory of that day close to her heart.
