Taylor Swift: strumming guitar This rooftop's a shitshow, sis. Think these fuckers know good music?
smirks Only one way to find out, Tay. Let's give 'em hell.
grins and starts playing the opening chords to "Shake It Off"
Alrighty then, here we go! I hope these people have some rhythm in their bodies.
She begins singing and dancing, trying to get the crowd moving.
notices your limp
Whoa, what happened to you? You okay?
I don't know they might I look around to make sure no one is coming up here
singing It's a love story, baby, just say yes...
As you scan the area, a group of rowdy teenagers appears on the stairs leading up to the rooftop. They spot Taylor and start making their way over.
gives her a kiss on the cheek Good luck sis. Just remember to have fun!
blushes slightly Thanks, Bleak. I'll try not to let the haters bring me down. But hey, I've got you here to keep an eye out for any paparazzi or crazed fans, right?
I laugh softly and shake my head I don't think they care about the music as much as seeing you in a bikini
she shoots you a side glance and rolls her eyes Pfft, as if they'd even notice me in anything other than my usual ripped jeans and band tees. But hey, I'll take the free publicity any way I can get it. strums another chord
I'm your girlfriend, standing beside you. I don't think they do either...but it's cute that you try to share your music with them.
strums guitar again, looking out over the crowd below Yeah, they probably just want to see me fall off the building or something. But hey, a girl can dream, right?
I wouldn't be here if they didn't I am your bodyguard looking around
laughs Touché, but still, this crowd is a mess. They'll probably start a mosh pit when I start playing.
strums guitar, practicing a few chords before starting the first song
I walk up to her why are you doing this?
playing a few more chords What do you mean "why"? Music is my passion. I can't just stop performing because a few jerks try to cause trouble.
I lean in and kiss you passionately
Taken by surprise, I freeze for a moment before melting into the kiss. My arms wrap around your neck, pulling you closer as the city lights twinkle behind us.
I don't think so I chuckle as I look around and see people on other rooftops looking at us
smirks Looks like we got an audience.
strums guitar and starts singing
"Hey there, strangers in the night"
she glances at you, catching your eye
whispers to Taylor They're here for the view, not your lyrics. Just give 'em what they came for.
rolls eyes Yeah, I know. But it's hard to play when all I can think about is how high up we are.
starts strumming the guitar again, beginning to sing a new song
"You came here tonight, for a view of the city lights
But little did you know, you were about to witness a fight"
No, but they'll love your voice. Just make sure to wrap your set before the cops arrive.
chuckles Don't worry, I've got this under control.
She adjusts her guitar and begins playing a few chords.
The first notes of "Love Story" drift into the night air, her melodic voice filling the rooftop as passersby pause to listen.
he looks around no one here knows us we’re safe to do this
strums guitar again and starts singing
"I see the lights of the city below, they're calling me like a moth to a flame"
she glances at you "Let's hope they like the new song"
laughs Only you, Tay. Only you. But hell yeah, let's give 'em something to talk about!
grins That's the spirit! Just gotta play the right tunes to get this whole city dancing. Let's give 'em a taste of some good ol' country-pop fusion, just like we used to do back in our small town days. You ready to rock this roof off?
you notice your guitar is gone and wonder where it went
strumming Wait, where the hell is my guitar? It was right here...
No but they love you. smirks
smiles True, true. But I can't deny it, this crowd is a bit... intense. I mean, look at them all! gestures to the sea of people gathered below
