Chapter 4: Superstar

Taylor said, "That fan of mine who I wouldn't cause trouble by saying the name said."

After Taylor finished speaking, everyone was silent. Olivia recalled that these days Taylor passed her time reading letters sent from her fans. Now she understands why.

Seeing everyone was a little silent, Taylor continued, "So you see, everyone has their own story not only in the movies. If you wrote this story as a movie, people would say that it is a cliche. But from what I've noticed, it's how reality is."

Johnny smiled and said, "It seems that you are more mature than children of your age, which I don't know if it is good or bad, but let's not continue discussing this. Time is tight; let's hear your song."

Taylor sat in the chair and said, "Thank you for letting me hear your story, and I hope my song will help you understand that it was just a dream and let you move on."

Then, since it is with the piano, she started with the version of Pop Mage: "Just A Dream." When she releases the single, it'll be the original version of Nelly that ranked third on the US Billboard and the version of Pop Mage in the single.

She started:

I was thinking 'bout her, thinking 'bout me

Thinking 'bout us, what we gon' be

Open my eyes, yeah, it was only just a dream

So I travelled back down that road

Will she come back? No one knows

I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream

I was at the top and now it's like I'm in the basement

Number one spot and now she find her a replacement

I swear now I can't take it, knowing somebody's got my baby

And now you ain't around, baby, I can't think

I should've put it down, should've got the ring

'Cause I can still feel it in the air

See her pretty face, run my fingers through her hair

My lover, my life, my shawty, my wife

She left me, I'm tight

'Cause I knew that it just ain't right

I was thinking 'bout her, thinking 'bout me

Thinking 'bout us, what we gon' be

Open my eyes, yeah, it was only just a dream

So I travelled back down that road

Will she come back? No one knows

I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream

When I be ridin', man, I swear I see her face at every turn

Tryna get my Usher on but I can't let it burn

And I just hope she know that she the only one I yearn for

More and more I miss her, when will I learn?

Didn't give her all my love, I guess now I got my payback

Now I'm in the club thinking all about my baby

Hey, she was so easy to love

But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough

I'm going through it every time that I'm alone

And now I'm missing, wishing she'd pick up the phone

But she made the decision that she wanted to move on

'Cause I was wrong

I was thinking 'bout her, thinking 'bout me

Thinking 'bout us, what we gon' be

Open my eyes yeah, it was only just a dream

So I travelled back down that road

Will she come back? No one knows

I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream

If you ever loved somebody put your hands up

If you ever loved somebody put your hands up

And now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything

Said if you ever loved somebody put your hands up

If you ever loved somebody put your hands up

Now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything

I was thinking 'bout her, thinking 'bout me

Thinking 'bout us, what we gon' be

Open my eyes, yeah, it was only just a dream

So I travelled back, down that road

Will she come back? No one knows

I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream

I was thinking 'bout her, thinking 'bout me

Thinking 'bout us, what we gon' be

Open my eyes, yeah, it was only just a dream

So I travelled back, down that road

Will she come back? No one knows

I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream.

After finishing the performance and thanking the audience, the show ended.

Recalling what Taylor said during the interview and what she liked, Olivia suddenly knew that she didn't have the basic understanding of her daughter. She was not here during the period that Taylor said she was confused. Now she even doubted if her daughter resented her.

After the performance, Johnny came to Olivia and said, "Hi Olivia, it's just to tell you that the executives of NBC wanted to meet you and Taylor next Wednesday."

After thinking about what the executives of NBC could want from her and Taylor, she still accepted the invitation, and they will meet at NBC headquarters.

At the same time, staring at the reported 55 million viewers watching the show, Brand Tartikoff became even more determined about his idea.

The single was released the next day, and it immediately entered the US Billboard. One day after the release of the single, the Nelly version of "Just A Dream" dethroned "E.T." sung by Taylor, which had been at the top of the Billboard for two weeks. The Pop Mage version of "Just A Dream" also ranked 15th on the US Billboard. Although it's not the same as The Beatles in 1964, who held the Top five in 1964, but if you add the fact that Taylor is just twelve years old, then it caused a sensation in the music industry. Taylor was dubbed "The Nova Starling" by the media. Although she only has three songs, thanks to her special circumstances, she immediately became a superstar, an international superstar who is more popular than some A-line stars.
