After getting ready, he had to go directly into rehearsal and recording; time was quite tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after sitting down to get his makeup done, someone else entered the dressing room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu! You really came~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to turn his head to look; he knew it was Taylor by the voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She ran over in her high heels, clack-clack-clack, and ran affectionately to Xu Can's side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the makeup artist was busy, so it wasn't convenient for her to hug him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard the production team invited you; do you know how happy I am?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taylor looked a bit like a supermodel at first glance, but once you got to know her, you knew she was a funny, cheerful, and straightforward little dork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was different from the girls around Xu Can, like Stone and Emma Roberts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone was like a good buddy at first, more forthright, but more womanly in private, a bit willful, and easily emotional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma Roberts was just lively toward Xu Can, more of a gentle little princess feeling, speaking softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taylor was like this no matter who she saw; she was quite active when she wasn't high, and when she was high, she was a party animal, a bit scatterbrained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were getting their makeup done, Taylor kept chatting about her daily life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a small inspiration when writing a song, or an interesting thing that happened when attending an event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the time she was talking, and Xu Can listened with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the makeup was done, there was still some time before they went on stage, so the makeup artist left, leaving the lounge to the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After people left, Taylor sighed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After talking to you last time, I had a fight with Scott.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scott was the boss of Big Machine Records, holding the copyright to Taylor's albums.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've finally seen him for who he is. He says he respects my creativity, but in reality, he just treats me as a cash cow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know. It's not very good for me to go elsewhere now; big labels have more restrictions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taylor's expression was very disappointed; she thought music creation could be done as she pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, record label bosses often made singers create styles they didn't like for the sake of the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it really doesn't work out, I'll have my dad invest and occupy a certain right to speak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't ever do that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Can urged quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Taylor continued to release albums at Big Machine Records, she would follow the same old path as in her previous life, resulting in a series of copyright disputes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the other party only had one album, she could stop the loss in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you've seen him for who he is, his character definitely won't change, and there will be more disputes with you later. No matter how many nice things he says, don't believe him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, then what should I do? I really should release a new album, otherwise the popularity I've just accumulated will eventually be lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taylor knew this herself, but she was simple-minded and willing to believe the other party would change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about this, you sign with our company, and I'll manage it for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Can I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taylor suddenly looked up, her eyes lighting up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can set up a studio exclusively for you and cooperate with Sony Music.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Can had had this idea before; as long as Taylor was willing, he could make her independent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really! You're willing to do this for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taylor couldn't believe it; Xu Can had absolutely no benefit from doing this, and he might even lose money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, because I like you, I really like you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Can looked at Taylor Swift in front of him seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, hold on... hold on!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu, why did he suddenly confess to her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Can's straight-ball approach caught Taylor Swift off guard, and her heart suddenly started racing. ===== CHAPTER 72 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1375,"2026-06-17T04:37:49.098Z","2026-06-17T04:40:43.045Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d901ceb7f4dcb70c8c80192de707c2c7907fcda2c66ee15889925a0dc1833b7f","entertainment-starting-as-spider-man-i-kiss-tayl-chapter-39","entertainment-starting-as-spider-man-i-kiss-tayl-chapter-37",319,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fentertainment-starting-as-spider-man-i-kiss-tayl-cover.jpg"]
