Taylor Swift Miniseries

Teaching Carter how to play an instrument

Even only at four years old Carter is always so intrigued by what Taylor does, between writing and recording all of her songs and the process of it all, he was truly drawn to it all. He'd always try to press his ear against the door and listen as Taylor would quietly mumble new lyrics under her breath. But most of all - he's so fascinated by her guitar.

Taylor was on the couch trying to come up with the third song for her new album. She felt a pair of eyes on her so she looked up, smiling when she saw Carter standing in the doorway watching her strum the strings of her guitar. "You need something buddy?" He shrugged his shoulders and stared at Taylor's guitar. She took the hint and grinned, patting her lap and Carter ran to her immediately. "You want me to teach you how to play a little?"

Carter nodded his head happily. Taylor took his much smaller hand in hers, placing her fingers over his as she moved them along the strings. "You can use my special guitar pick" she said and kissed the top of his head. "Ready?" Carter cheered making Taylor giggle as she started to move his fingers, a soothing sound coming from the guitar making Carter grin.

"Look at you! You're a natural." He giggled as they continued to strum the guitar, her hand guiding his fingers on the strings, but Carter was so happy. "You gonna play the guitar when you're older?" Carter nodded his head enthusiastically. "When you're older i'll get you your own very special guitar." Carter leaned his head on Taylor's shoulder. "Like yours?" The glimmer of hope in evident in his eyes and Taylor felt like her heart might burst at the sight. "Absolutely, if that's what you want, buddy."

Taylor put the guitar on the floor, letting it lean against the couch, before she felt Carter reposition his body on her lap, his head nuzzling into her neck as he slowly drifted off to sleep in her arms. It wasn't much longer when Taylor fell asleep as she rubbed soothing circles on his back.

You came home to that sight about twenty minutes later. you made sure to take a couple pictures to show Taylor later and walked to the couch, grabbing the blanket from the back of it and placing it over both of them. You kissed Taylor's cheek and Carter's head softly, going into the kitchen to make dinner, where you had the perfect view of your two favorite people cuddled up close together, a sight that made your heart melt. You know you have the most beautiful little family ever.
