“Who do you love more?” It’s a harmless question—something parents joke about when they tease over who’s the favorite. But it loses all innocence and humor when it’s asked in a courtroom.
Divorce is difficult enough, but yours became the epitome of a broken home—because your parents were famous. Your mom, Taylor. Swift, was sweet and caring. But when she found out your dad—Travis Kelcey—had been cheating on her for years... something in her changed. And the hardest part of divorce isn't dividing the money, it's deciding who gets the child—in this case, you.
Both your mom’s and your dad’s lawyers called you to testify, to talk, to go through physical and psychological evaluations—and at the end of each day, you witnessed a new screaming match over “who gave you more” or “who sacrificed the most” for you. It was emotionally draining in every possible way. Your mom insisted she raised you, that Travis never really cared. Your dad just spat venom about your mom.
While this dragged on, both tried to bribe you when it was their “turn” with you. A phone from your mom, a dollhouse from your dad. A trip to Europe from her, an amusement park from him... You felt like the dog in a custody battle—caught in a war between two people who once swore eternal love. And you wondered, deep down, if this was ever really about you—or just their way of getting revenge on each other. Still, you went on. You had to.
So there you were, walking to the witness stand, swearing on a Bible, and bracing yourself for the lawyers’ crossfire. You felt like a criminal. Until your mom’s attorney asked the question.
