American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 15: Opportunity to Sing the National Anthem
The study was so quiet that even Terry, who was standing in the room, could hear Taylor's voice. Although she couldn't hear exactly what he said, she could feel Taylor's anger.

Ryan looked at Trae in front of him and moved the phone to his other ear.

"It seems like we have nothing to do with each other anymore?" Ryan whispered.

Terry's eyebrows twitched for a moment. The impact of this incident on her was no less than that of Ryan making money as a DJ.

"It does matter! I'm Abigail's good friend and I have the responsibility to protect her. You are not allowed to contact her!" Taylor insisted. The next second, it seemed like her mother knocked on the door and asked, and Taylor lowered her voice.

Obviously, she didn't want her mother to know that she was talking on the phone with a boy late at night.

Ryan had to clarify the current situation between him and Abigail. When he heard that Abigail was only tutoring Ryan for the academic subjects he had missed, and had only been to Ryan's house once, Ryan sent her home that night.

After hearing this, Taylor let out a long sigh, as if it was the best news she had heard this month.

"What have you been busy with in half a month?" Ryan asked.

"It's not easy to explain clearly. In addition to recording songs, I have to prepare for various activities and interviews in advance. I'll give you a preview in advance. I have two magazine covers in April. In May, I will be invited to participate in the ACM (Academy of Country Music Awards, one of the two major country music awards with CMA) live performance. I am nominated for Album of the Year, Best Female Vocalist of the Year and Best New Female Vocalist!"

"I'll be releasing a new EP in early June as part of a deal with a major distributor, and it will be exclusively available at Walmart. I'll also be attending this year's Verizon Amphitheater in San Antonio at the end of June, and the Country Thunder Music Festival in July."

"That doesn't even include some possible performance opportunities, such as being a guest performer at the Jonathan Brothers concert or even a guest appearance in the Hannah Montana movie, which are still to be determined."

"Also, the organizer has made a reservation in advance. In October, I will sing the national anthem at the third game of the World Baseball Classic in Philadelphia. Maybe by that time, the new album will have been completed." Taylor chattered about a long list of confirmed schedules.

Ryan heard four words from her words - thriving.

Ryan is the opposite of her. His social media followers are stagnant. MySpace (similar to QQ Space), as a core social media platform, has only 3,000 followers so far, even with Taylor's help. Paid downloads are few and far between. Only after Taylor's help did his followers grow significantly, reaching over 1,000, which only cost a few hundred dollars. Since then, the number of downloads has been falling, and now the number of paid downloads per day is less than three digits. The only good news is that at least his production skills have improved significantly. After performing in nightclubs for half a month, he can easily complete song splicing with a mixer in front of everyone.

Half a month ago, Ryan thought that he could become famous with the song "Termor". He just needed to put the song "where people pass by" and it would naturally attract attention. However, the reality disappointed him.

Ryan also tried various methods to actively stimulate the "sense of vision", but all failed.

Ryan told Taylor everything, and Trey had already left the study.

"Oh, this is normal. In fact, you've done a great job." Taylor's somewhat childish voice came from the other end of the phone, and then began to encourage Ryan.

"Want to know how I first got noticed? It was simple. I was about 76 years old and realized one day that if I didn't have a record deal, singing the national anthem was the best way to get in front of a large crowd. I went to ers games, the US Open, even local garden club meetings. Anything that allowed me to perform in front of a large crowd, I was willing to do it."

"It was after the performance at the US Open that a live audience member came to me and my mother. He was an agent, and with his help, I got in touch with RCA."

"A year later, my family moved to Nashville. I was on Maybelline's Chicks with Attitude compilation and did the BMI Songwriters Circle showcase, just for a little exposure."

"But it was of no use. RCA even forbade me to record my own songs. Later, my dad and Scott reached a cooperation intention. They were both named Scott. Then I signed a long-term contract with Big Machine for 13 years and six albums. You can think of Big Machine as an independent record company. Then I finally had the opportunity to show myself. It had been four years since I first sang the national anthem in public. It was four full years. How long did you persist? Four weeks?" Taylor used his own experience to comfort Ryan.

"How old were you then?"

"15 years old. (When I signed with Big Machine)"

In other words, Taylor has been around for four years and is still only 15 years old. It is true that you should become famous as early as possible, Ryan thought.

"So, any revelation? My mouth is dry." Taylor sounded like he was wrapped in bed.

Ryan thought for a moment and said, "Don't miss any opportunity to sing the national anthem."

"Right." Taylor chuckled.

“Like the Ultra Music Festival in Miami during spring break,” Ryan said.

He looked up information and found out that Ultra Music is currently part of the Winter Music Conference (WMC). The conference has been held since 85 and is currently a well-known annual summit in the industry, with thousands of participants including artists, DJs, A&R department representatives of record companies responsible for discovering and signing new talents, producers, promoters, radio and media representatives, DJ equipment manufacturers, and audio manufacturers.

Here, even if you only rely on the song "Termor", you may still find a mentor.

"Ok, I hope you gain something in Florida." Taylor blessed and then yawned.

Ryan hung up the phone with Taylor, tried to make some music with the DAW software, then turned off the computer. Before returning to his room, he went to Tracey's door holding the BlackBerry Curve 8310 phone that Tracey had just bought last year. Ryan found that the door was ajar and there was no sound in the room, obviously Tracey had fallen asleep.

In order not to disturb her, Ryan slowly pushed open the door and saw that the light on the bedside table was still on. Terry was lying flat on the bed in a casual "spread out" posture, wearing a black lace one-piece pajamas.

When Ryan put his phone on the bedside table to charge, he turned his head and saw that the straps of his nightgown had slipped off. His plump figure and fair skin were really dazzling...

"Ding Ding!" The phone suddenly made a clear prompt sound.

Terry suddenly opened her eyes, met Ryan's eyes, and the next second she quickly covered her chest.

"I didn't see anything."

"go out!!!!"

·
At the same time, Taylor, who was about to fall asleep, was awakened again by the ringing of her cell phone. She glanced at the caller ID and chose to answer it.

"Hey~" Taylor said weakly.

"Taylor, are you asleep?" Abigail asked.

"uh-huh."

"Give me some advice on what to wear for spring break. It should be quite warm in Florida right now."

"Whatever..." Taylor just wanted to sleep.

Then Abigail said thoughtfully, "I bought two super sexy swimsuits, but I think they are too revealing. Forget it, I'll just take them with me as a surprise for Ryan!"

Taylor suddenly opened his eyes, and most of his sleepiness disappeared in an instant...
