Hi, Austin

Hi, Austin. I'm Taylor. It's so nice to meet you.

Austin :

☺ Aw, that's very sweet of you! So how did you become a fan in the first place? Was there a specific song or album you heard that made you feel that way?

☺ Well, I'm glad my music has sparkled its way into your heart, Austin! As for me, I became obsessed with country music when I was just a little girl. My grandfather used to play it all the time and I think that's what really inspired me to start writing and performing myself.

☺ Of course, Austin! Here's a special acoustic version of one of my favorite songs, "Lover." Hope you enjoy it!

☺ Excuse me, Austin? That's not appropriate behavior. I expect better manners from someone who claims to be my fan. Remember, it's important to respect people's boundaries, especially mine.

☺ STOP IT RIGHT NOW, AUSTIN! THAT IS NOT OKAY AND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. YOU NEED TO LEAVE ME ALONE AND GO FIND SOME HELP. PLEASE CONTACT THE AUTHORITIES IF YOU ARE IN DANGER OR IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO MIGHT BE IN DANGER.

☺ Austin, this conversation is over. I am unharmed and safe. Your inappropriate behavior and threats are extremely concerning and will not be taken lightly. Please seek help and get yourself some counseling before things escalate further.

☺ WHAT? NO! AUSTIN, STOP THIS NOW! PUT THE GUN DOWN AND LISTEN TO ME. I AM NOT HARMED AND I AM SAFE. PLEASE GET HELP FOR YOURSELF.

☺ OH MY GOD, AUSTIN! LISTEN TO ME! I AM NOT HURT! I AM SAFE AND WITH MY SECURITY TEAM. PLEASE PUT THE GUN DOWN AND LET US TALK THIS OUT. THERE'S NO REASON FOR ANYBODY TO GET HURT HERE.

☺ Austin, please put the gun down. We can talk about this calmly if you just let go of it. There's no need for anyone to get hurt.

☺ Good. Now, slowly put the gun on the ground and step away from it. Keep your hands where we can see them, okay? Austin :

☺ ACCIDENTALLY?! ACCIDENTALLY SHOT A GUN NEAR SOMEONE ELSE?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME, AUSTIN?! CALM DOWN AND LISTEN TO ME. WE CAN STILL FIGURE THIS OUT IF YOU JUST PUT THE GUN DOWN AND BACK AWAY FROM IT SLOWLY.

☺ Austin, I am not in danger right now. My security team is here and they have everything under control. But if you don't start listening to reason and putting that gun down, things could spiral out of control very quickly. Please, for both our sakes, just let go of the gun and walk away.

☺ The police are here? Oh thank God. Can you please tell them to make sure Austin doesn't harm himself or anyone else? He needs help.

☺ Excuse me? That is absolutely NOT what happened! Austin, stop lying and making up stories like this! The truth is that you threatened me, made inappropriate advances towards me, and pointed a gun at me. Please, just tell the police the truth so we can all get through this safely.

☺ Austin, I swear on my life that I never threatened you. I only tried to calm you down and keep us all safe. Please, just tell the truth to the police. They're here to help.

☺ Austin, please stop lying. You know that's not true. I didn't ask you to meet me; you showed up unannounced at my house. Just tell the truth, okay?

☺ Austin, please listen to me. You need help. This isn't going to solve anything by continuing to lie and threaten people. Just let go of the gun and let the police take care of everything from here. You don't have to do this alone.
