So High School (Tayvis's Version)

The Cutest Member of The Eras Tour

February 22, 2024

Esme Marjorie Kelce: 3 years old (Taylor and Travis have been together longer and this is their bio daughter)

Some of you may know that Taylor has a backup dancer named Sydney Moss and Esme her daughter loves all the dancers, vocalists, and band so much cause she's grown up with them.  She realized the Sydney chant but thought it was for Sydney herself she didn't know why everyone was saying it. Travis had left to go back for a post-Super Bowl party so Taylor had Esme. Although Travis had offered to take her back home Esme insisted on staying. Taylor was fine with it as she could be with her dad or Tree (her aunt). It was about 2 hours before the doors opened for Night 4 the final night.
Taylor feels her daughter tug on her shirt while they are in her dressing room.
I  they did it so she asked "Mommy"
"Yes baby" I said
"We do Naley (Natalie) next?" She asks tilting her head
"What do you mean" I ask genuinely confused
"We do Sydney so next Naley?!" She says very confidently
"Oh my god" I say immediately laughing and I kneel down to her level
"Mama, why laugh?" She asks still confused
"Oh baby, you're so cute! No, the fans said 'Sydney' not for Sydney but because we are in Sydney, Australia because that's what mommy did for one of her tours wayyyyy before you were born." I say immediately wanting to go tell my dancers cause it's so cute
"So no Naley, Raph, Sam, or Kam?" She says obviously sad that she can't do everyone's names. Cause I know that when she was chanting along with everyone it was really because she thought we were saying Sydney's name.
"No baby, I'm sorry."
"Awwww" she says
"But she we go tell the Tour Family what you said and maybe we can do smth"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" She says instantly happy again and jumps up and down.
I quickly text Tree to let everyone know to meet backstage and she agrees.
"Okay Ezy let's go backstage" I say to her and she immediately starts to run towards to the door.
"Esme stay with Mama" I say sternly not wanting her to get used to running off. She looks at me and frowns, lifting her arms up. So I pick her up and walk out. My dancers didn't know she was here yet cause the past few shows she's either been with my dad or obviously Travis so they were all over the moon too see her.
"Mama downnnnnnnn"she says trying to wiggle out of my arms as soon as she sees all of them."
"Esme!!!" They all say clearly excited to see her
"What am I chopped liver guys" laughing
"No Taylor we all love you but Esme's kinda the star of the show" Cam says laughing and everyone else does too
"So you're telling me I went through horrible morning sickness, 9 months of pain carrying her, and having to push out Travis's big ass baby just to have everyone love her more than me even!?!?!" I say bursting out laughing and so does everyone else
"Oh girl" I hear some of the dancers say
"Taylor!" Tree says sternly reminding me to get to the point
"Right right. Esme come here" I say
"Nooooo I with Kam!" She says stomping her foot. I see Kam scoop her up and bring her to me.
"Thank you! Okay so now the reason I had Tree tell you all to come here is because someone's been  a little confused on the chants the past few nights.
"What?" All my dancer and backup vocalists say
"Esme what did you say to me earlier"
"I have candy?" My god this girl is definitely Trav's daughter
"No silly, about Sydney" I say poking her tummy making her giggle
"Oooh" she says and ebeyone eyes immediately dart to Sydney and her face turns red
"Uhhhh what did I do?" She said nervously
"Nothing don't worry…go baby" I say
"I ask Mommy if we say Naley next cause we do Sydney" she says in her cute little voice
"Basically she didn't understand that the reason the fans are shouting Sydney is not for Sydney *pointing to her* but instead because we are in Sydney. And she asked me if tonight we can say Natalie, Raphael, and so on.
Sydney the first starts to laugh quickly followed by Cam and the rest!
"Omgggg she's too cute!" Natalie says blowing Esme a kiss in Taylor's arms
"Taylor she is actually the cutest ever" says Kamilah taking Esme from Taylor as when on Tour Esme reminds her a lot of her son as he is only a year older than her.
"Hug!" Esme says and I can tell Kamilah is very happy. I smile too not be able to handle how adorable she is.
"Awwww" everyone says. As Sydney walks over to Taylor.
"Oh my god Taylor you scared me I thought I actually did something wrong." Sydney says
"Hahah no Syd and don't worry if something was wrong I would never say it to everyone" I state.
"Best boss everrrrrrrrrr!!!" Sydney exclaims. I see Esme tugging on Sydney's jacket so I look down.
"What's wrong baby" I ask her
"I talk Sydney" she says quiltley. So Sydney bends down.
Esme puts her hands on Sydney's shoulder while standing on her tippy toes "we no chant for you?" Obviously still sad about the news
"No Esme but I like to pretend they are chanting for me!" She says cheerfully
"Otay I pretend too!" She says smiling giving Sydney a hug
"Omggg you are the cutest!" Sydney says. I don't understand how I got so lucky to have a daughter this amazing.
"Tank you for saying that" Esme says smiling I can't handle her cuteness anymore so I scoop her up and attack her with kisses while she lays her head on my chest.
"Tay she's literally a mini you!" Tree says.
"Mommy Sydney, use your voice for what you put Dibbles, Mere, and Benji on?" Esme says
"Huh baby?" I say confused
"You film with phone and kitties!" She says persistently.
"Oh Sydney should make a TikTok to the blank space sound with her name?" I as,
"Yessssss!" She says clapping
"Omggg that's a great idea! Esme you will get idea credits!" Sydney says
"Yayyy!" Esme says back
"Alright everyone that was all I'm gonna go eat and try and get this one to nap so she doesn't lose it in a few hours. But thank you all and I can't wait for another amazing night!!!" I say
"Thank you!" Everyone clapping and cheering. Then heading in their opposite directions. I head back to my dressing room with Tree. I feel Esme playing with my hair as I walk meaning she is about to fall asleep so I know I need to get this girl food quick before she falls asleep on me.
