It was a warm spring morning and Evie woke up in her New York City apartment which was already flooded with bright sunshine. It had been a while since she had slept in and it was really needed. The past week had been quite busy; being in the studio all day, writing songs, taking pictures and trying to promote herself online as much as she could.
Evie had been making music for as long as she could remember but now in her mid-twenties, people start to notice her as a singer. In the past six months, Evie had gained remarkable attention online, captivating a growing audience with her unique indie sound. As her heartfelt songs resonate with listeners, more and more people are discovering her music and rallying behind her as an artist. Evie’s big break came when she received a surprising invitation to perform at the American Music Awards as a newcomer artist. When the invitation arrived, Evie could hardly believe it. The AMAs represented a significant milestone in her career so far, and performing on such a prestigious stage was a dream come true. Excitement mixed with nerves as she prepared for the event, knowing this was her chance to showcase her artistry to a broader audience. With the support of her growing fanbase and her newfound confidence, Evie succeeded to shine.
Her life already felt like a dream, one she feared to wake up from any minute or second. And it started to feel like a movie when she received a call from her agent that spring morning. “I’ve got big news for you. And before you say anything, please promise me to say yes. This is your chance Evie!”, she heard her agent say on the other end of the line. It was unusual for her to be this agitated which made Evie a little nervous before she answered “Can you please stop talking in riddles to me? What’s up?”. “Taylor Swifts wants you to be her support act on her new tour!”. This was indeed a reason to be agitated. According to her agent, Taylor Swift had seen Evies performance at the AMAs and saw a spark that reminded her of her younger self in the early days in the industry even though she was just three years older than Evie. Taylor denied that she wanted support her by taking her on tour.
Evie has always dreamed about playing concerts after being in the audience for so many years. Evie herself mostly listened to old-school indie music has never been a dedicated fan of Taylor Swift but she has always been aware of Taylor’s remarkable success and fame. With sold-out tours and a passionate fanbase, Taylor stands as a true icon in the music industry. For Evie, the opportunity to share the stage with someone like Taylor is an incredible honor. The thought of performing her own songs in front of Taylor’s loyal fans filled her with excitement and gratitude.
Evie’s agent already told her to say yes but there was no way Evie would have let that opportunity go to waste. “Sooo…what are your thoughts on that?”, she heard her agent ask her after a long moment of silence between the both of them passed.
“Yes“, Evie nervously said, “I guess I’m gonna do it.”
