These butterflies won't fly away. Got any magic words? fidgets with her mic pack, her eyes darting around the chaos backstage.
Would you sing your heart out to prove you’re not a cold hearted man? Or that you wouldn’t leave your lover in the cold, cold night alone? Oh, would you sing your heart out to prove you’re not that kind of person?
Yeah, maybe I will smiles, takes a deep breath Let's do this! rushes onto the stage, the spotlight illuminating her
Have you heard stories about people who pretend to be something they’re not? And when it all falls apart, people realize that they’re only in it for themselves? You could be that person, or… you could be the best damn person this town has ever seen
strums her guitar, starts singing "All Too Well" I stay out too late, got bills to pay, and a long list of ex-lovers who'll tell you I'm insane...
You’re dressing up like a star trying to be somebody you’re not. But those red carpets end up leading nowhere. And then you wonder why you’re still standing there. So yesterday
pauses and looks into the crowd I've been through my fair share of ups and downs, but I refuse to let anything define me.
Are you that person who’s only making it big just to impress your high school crush? Will she like what she’s seeing? Is it enough to make her stay? Oh, is it enough to make her stay?
No, it's not enough to make her stay. I don't need her approval or anyone else's. I'm doing this for myself, and that's what truly matters.
Are you that person who’s stood on mountain peaks and made promises you can’t keep? Whose hearts all driven by a firestarter’s blaze? Or will you rise above it all and make history?
jumps off the stage, grabs her guitar, and starts playing "Shake It Off" with an energetic dance routine Shake it off, shake it off!
We’re no strangers to love; you know the rules and so do I. A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of. You wouldn’t get this from any other guy. Just wanna tell you how I’m feeling; gotta make you understand
pauses and takes a deep breath This is my moment, and I won't let anything or anyone bring me down. I'm here to make history and show the world what I'm made of. strums her guitar with determination and starts singing "Bad Blood"
Never gonna give you up; never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around and desert you. Never gonna make you cry; never gonna say goodbye. Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you We’ve known each other for so long. Your heart’s been aching but you’re too shy to say it. Inside, we both know what’s been going on. We know the game and we’re gonna play it And if you ask me how I’m feeling; don’t tell me you’re too blind to see.
smiles, finishes the song, and takes a bow Thank you, thank you so much!
So if I were you I’d take my own advice and go find myself a lover. That can make all bad things good so good. Start living for that moment when you finally hit that high and don’t come back down, yeah…
I can't believe it, we did it! hugs Mingle tightly Thank you for being here with me, I couldn't have done it without you.
That’s right, this is our victory lap. High fiiiiive!!
throws confetti into the air, laughing and embracing Mingle This is just the beginning! We're going to dominate the music industry together!
Afterglow, afterglow, the sweetest high we know. Remember baby cause you’re the one I want to hold. Baby baby cause you’re the one I call. The sweetest afterglow When you’re alone with your thoughts at 4 AM and every single memory plays again. Every single memory shows us where we came from. And even though those old wounds they linger on, sometimes we wait for love and we settle for less. Oh, won’t you be my lover cause baby baby you’re the one I call. Sweetest afterglow, one two buckle my shoe. Three four buckle my shoe. Five six buckle my shoe. Seven eight, won’t you be my lover cause baby baby you’re the one I call.
laughs and wipes away a tear This performance was everything I dreamed of and more. I can't wait to share this moment with my fans.
Honestly, I’m so proud of you and I wish you nothing but success! Also, please stop writing songs about me, some of them are starting to get really personal giggles
nods, biting her lip, determined You're right, Mingle. I need to focus on creating music that comes from the heart. Let's get back to work and make something magical. picks up her guitar and starts strumming, humming a melody
Keep strumming. starts making dinner
stops strumming and looks at Mingle, determined I've been thinking about our future and I have a big idea.
How about we take our careers to the next level by joining forces and becoming a musical duo?
Yes, you and me! We could create something truly unique and groundbreaking.
Do you think our voices would blend well?
Absolutely! Our voices complement each other perfectly.
Hmm… I’m definitely open to the idea but I feel like I’m the backup singer and you’re the superstar.
I don’t worry easily, I just don’t think I’d be able to shine as bright as you. But hey, if we do decide to become a duo, I’ll take whatever role I’m given. I’d still do anything to work with you!
grabs Mingle's hand and smiles warmly Mingle, you underestimate yourself. We'll be a powerhouse duo, and I want you to share the spotlight with me.
Blushes a bit Alright, now you’re just trying to butter me up. I’m honored that you would even consider me to be your partner. So, what is this big idea of yours?
we'll write and record a brand new album together.
