Mallory had always loved baking, but today was an extra-special day. She had planned a live baking session in her kitchen, and it was all about making light blue-themed cupcakes. What made this event even more exciting for her was the fact that her wife, Taylor, was currently in the midst of her biggest tour ever. Fans of Taylor's music were buzzing with anticipation, thinking that Mallory's livestream might contain hidden clues or Easter eggs related to Taylor's next rerelease an album and tour experience that had captivated audiences worldwide.

As the clock neared the scheduled livestream time, Mallory's kitchen was a hub of activity. She had meticulously arranged all the necessary ingredients and tools for her cupcakes, ensuring that everything was within easy reach of the camera. Her apron was neatly tied, and a light blue hair clip adorned her head, a nod to the theme of the day.

The moment arrived, and Mallory went live on her social media platform. A flurry of comments and emojis flooded the screen, a testament to the anticipation of Taylor's dedicated fanbase. Mallory smiled warmly as she greeted her viewers.

"Hey, everyone! I'm so excited to be here with you all today. It's been a while since we've done a baking session together, and what better time than now? As you know, my amazing wife Taylor is on her 'Eras Tour,' and we thought it would be fun to whip up some cupcakes together. Who's ready?"

The comments section erupted with excitement, and fans began to share their love for Taylor's music, their favourite tour moments, and theories about what Mallory's livestream might reveal.

user1: I'm convinced there's a hidden message here for '1989 TV'! 🕵️‍♀️

user2: I can't stop listening to '1989'! It's iconic!

user3: Mallory, is this a secret Taylor cameo?!

Mallory chuckled at the speculation but didn't give anything away. Instead, she sarcastically said, "Yeah. Tay's gonna come here to bake with me while in the middle of the show," and began engaging with her viewers, asking about their favourite Taylor Swift songs and tour memories. The sense of camaraderie among fans was palpable, as they shared their deep appreciation for Taylor's music.

"I'm loving all the enthusiasm! While these cupcakes bake, let's talk Taylor. What's your all-time favourite song from her? And any memorable tour experiences you'd like to share?"

The comments were pouring in, a lively mix of excitement and anticipation, when suddenly, an unexpected sound pierced through the virtual kitchen. The baby monitor sitting on the countertop emitted a soft, but unmistakable, chirping sound. It was Peter, their 17-month-old son.

Comments started flooding the chat:

"Oh my god, is that Peter?"
"Did anyone else hear that?"
"I think it's the baby!"
"Is Peter awake?"
"Can we see Peter?"

Mallory, momentarily flustered, glanced at the comments but chose not to answer. It was her family's private matter, and she didn't feel the need to share details with her viewers. Without another word, she excused herself from the live stream, leaving the comments section buzzing with curiosity.

Upstairs, in the nursery, Mallory found Peter wide awake, his big eyes gazing up at her as she entered the room. She smiled, gently picked him up, and began soothing him. As she rocked him back and forth, she started singing softly, her voice a warm and tender lullaby.

"Hey there, munchkin," She whispered in the middle of the song when he laughed. "You like that one, yeah? It reminds you of Mama, doesn't it?"

Peter, too young to respond with words, simply babbled in response. His tiny hands reached out to touch Mallory's face as if to say he enjoyed her singing.

Mallory continued to sing, her voice filled with love and comfort. The song was Taylor Never Grow Up, and it seemed fitting because yesterday she blinked and today he was over a year old.

"God, Peter, you're growing up so fast."

Peter's eyelids grew heavy, and his babbling gradually turned into soft coos as he began to drift off to sleep, cradled in his mother's loving arms. Mallory continued to sing the song, her voice now a gentle lullaby, until Peter finally succumbed to slumber.

With Peter peacefully asleep, Mallory carefully laid him back in his crib, ensuring he was comfortable before tiptoeing out of the room. She made her way back to the kitchen, where her livestream audience was patiently waiting, unaware that they had inadvertently heard this intimate and heartwarming moment between a mother and her child.

As Mallory reappeared on camera, she couldn't help but smile, still touched by the sweetness of the unexpected interruption. She resumed her baking session, though her heart was filled with the memory of her son and their shared lullaby, a moment that had inadvertently become a touching addition to her livestream. Mallory's fans may have been curious about the baby monitor's chirping, but the joy and love she felt for her family remained a cherished and private part of her life, one that she continued to share with them in her own special way.

As the cupcakes were in the oven, Mallory decided to take her viewers on a little tour of their home. She showed off cherished mementoes from Taylor's tour journey, including backstage passes, autographed memorabilia, and even a wall filled with fan art and letters. It was a touching glimpse into the couple's life on the road and the genuine connection they had with Taylor's fans.

"Our home is filled with so much love and support from all of you. These mementoes mean the world to Tay and me, and they're a constant reminder of the incredible journey we're on with each other." A cat suddenly ran past and Mallory turned the camera. "Say 'hi,' Mer!" Meredith meowed before running away again.

The cupcakes emerged from the oven, perfectly light and fragrant. Mallory set them aside to cool before beginning the decorating process. She asked her viewers for creative suggestions, and the comments section buzzed with ideas.

user4: Add some sparkles to make them shine like Taylor's dresses!

user5: How about tiny '1989' logos on top?

user6: I spy a hint, Mallory! Is that a hidden message in the frosting?

user7: DID YOU GIYS SEE ??? TN WENT LIVE

Mallory laughed as she poured blue food dye into the icing.

user8: OH MY GOD

Mallory's fingers worked their magic as she transformed plain cupcakes into miniature works of art. Each cupcake became a canvas for her creativity, and the light blue frosting came to life with intricate designs and decorations, all while fans eagerly watched and speculated about any potential Easter eggs.

The moment of truth arrived as Mallory held up the decorated light blue-themed cupcakes to the camera. They were stunning, each one a unique masterpiece in its own right, and they glistened with a hint of magic that mirrored Taylor's performances.

Mallory pulled up her laptop and went onto Instagram, clicking on Taylor Nation's live. "Do you guys want to watch something?" She turned it around and turned up the volume before leaving the frame. The fans went crazy as they watched Taylor announce 1989 Taylor's Version in her blue surprise songs dress.

Mallory chuckled and ate one of her cupcakes as she watched her wife do what she does best.

As the live stream came to a close, Mallory expressed her gratitude to the viewers for joining her in the kitchen. She blew them kisses and ended the live.
