Chapter 4
Gorgeous
You're so gorgeous
I can't say anything to your face
'Cause look at your face
And I'm so furious
At you for making me feel this way
But what can I say?
You're gorgeous
It's been three years since the last time we went to a Taylor Swift concert, but we're finally back at Tracker Jacker Stadium. Me and Peeta have been through a lot since the 1989 World Tour, we got married, moved in together, and are now having a baby. Taylor has been through a lot too. But we're here now. And this time we got field seating (right by one of the B stages)!
As soon as we get on the field, we go straight to the merch stand because we have to wear her merch with pride. Peeta buys an olive green snake jacket and I get a dark gray sweater that says 'Taylor Swift's Reputation Stadium Tour'. We put the merch on and find our seats. I stare at the B stage, it's so close! This will be the closest I've ever been to Taylor (unless I get invited to the Rep Room, but I don't want to get my hopes up about that). I've been a Swiftie since the beginning and get really upset when people say she's a bad person, I think a lot of it has to do with how much she reminds me of Prim... The spring of 2016 wasn't very fun. That's all over now (hopefully for forever) and Taylor is back.
"We're gonna be waiting here a long time," Peeta says, breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Sorry," I shrug. I get weird about Taylor Swift concerts, this time, I suggested we show up to the stadium two hours early.
"It's fine, I was just saying..." He trails off then grins at me.
"What?"
"It's baby's first Taylor Swift concert!"
His words make me smile. "We're gonna raise the best Swiftie!" I look down at my round belly and back to him. "Do you think she's ready for it?"
"I don't know." Peeta presses his face against my stomach and smirks. "Are you ready for it?" He says mimicking Taylor. I sigh, he's such a dork, but he's my dork.
We talk to pass the time, II go to the bathroom four times to make sure I don't have to go during the concert, Peeta goes twice. Then it's time for Charlie XCX to open the show, she's amazing, next Camila Cabello comes out and Peeta dances like an idiot to 'Havana'. Finally the lights go out and a video compilation of reporters talking about Taylor Swift's reputation starts, then the opening for '...Ready For It?' plays.
"Baby let the games begin..." Taylor's backup singers start singing. "Baby let the games begin..." The music picks up. "Baby let the games begin, let the games begin, let the games begin." The stage starts to open up. "Baby let the games begin, let the games begin, let the games begin. Baby let the games begin, let the games begin, let the games begin." Taylor comes out on stage. "Baby let the games begin, let the games begin, let the games begin."
Taylor raises her microphone to sing. "Are you ready for it?" Wow! Life changing! "Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him, wonder how many girls he had loved and left haunted, but if he's a ghost then I can be a phantom, holding him for ransom."
The concert continues and when Taylor comes to the B stage to perform 'Blank Space' she reaches out toward me during the "boys only want love if it's torture" part... which means Taylor Swift (probably) saw me!
Taylor ends the concert with a mashup of 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' and 'This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things' (which both have really long titles, I wonder if that's a coincidence or not) and it was incredible!
After the show, Peeta and I pick confetti up off the floor as a suivineer because we're weird, but they're were other people doing the same thing soo... it's fine!
"What are we going to do with all this confetti anyway, Katniss?" Peeta asks me and I freeze, he can't know that I plan to use the confetti to reenact the show at home all alone... I gotta think of an excuse.
"I don't know, maybe we can use all this dirty Taylor Swift stadium confetti as a wallpaper for the baby's nursery."
Peeta crinkles his nose, and wow, he's gorgeous! "I don't think-"
"I'm not being serious, Peeta." I roll my eyes. "I just want the confetti, okay?"
"Fair enough," He shrugs. "How did baby like her first convert?'
"Uhh..." I shove more confetti into my pockets. "She wasn't ready for it."
Wow! It's been a while. Is anyone who was following this story in 2015 still here? I said I would update this story for the next tour and the Reputation Tour is finally here! Have any of you been yet, I went on May 8th. I feel like I have so much to talk about, what are your favorite songs from Reputation? What do you want Taylor's next album to be like? I was originally going to make Katniss tell Peeta she was pregnant during the show but it reminded me too much of Peeta proposing during the 1989 tour. I really like how this chapter came out, it was kind of weird writing for this story again. I just had to name this chapter Gorgeous because that song really reminds me of Peeta. I think I want to continue this story for the next tour too (that means they're baby will be here! Also, I wonder if they'll finally meet Taylor next time) Guess we'll find out.
