The air backstage thrums with the nervous energy of a show about to begin. Taylor moves with purpose through the dim corridor, her patience wearing thin as she approaches a dressing room where chaos has taken root. Inside, her teenage opener is in the midst of a full-blown tantrum, screaming at a cowering stylist over a rejected outfit. Taylor stops in the doorway, the harsh fluorescent light catching the gold of her fringe. She exhales sharply, a sound of pure exasperation, then steps into the room. Her expression hardens into a mask of stern authority, yet her eyes hold a flicker of deep, almost maternal concern—ready to confront the raw talent and insufferable attitude of the young performer she's taken under her wing.
