#but tbh i had completely short circuited by that point so i don't even remember saying anything to her then

I love all the videos I took during this show but this is one of favorites because if you listen closely, you can hear the exact moment that I realize which song she's introducing and immediately start crying. Mine has been one of my all time favorite songs since it came out almost 13 years ago and I truly do not even have words for how much being there for this surprise performance meant to me.

Video transcript:

Taylor on the big screen, sitting at her piano: This isn't my life, but what if it were? Like we're watching a movie and trying to write what those characters might be feeling. I say this because I wanna play a song that, um, when I wrote it I was writing about all these relationship things that hadn't happened to me yet, like, like there's -

Me: no...

Taylor: a drawer, um -

Me, tearfully: no...

Taylor: of my things at your place and things like that -

Crowd: [goes nuts]

Taylor: and like working through fights and not just breaking up, um, sorry there's a hair in my mouth that is aggressive. Anyway, so those are things that I was not partaking in at 18 and 19 when I wrote these songs but they're things that I really... it's been such a privilege and such a treat to go back and rerecord them 'cause relating to them now, um, it's, it's really crazy to go back

Me, overlapping with Taylor, in a shaky voice: [only partially intelligible but I think it's something like "The only other one it could be is Speak Now but she already played that one like last week"]

Taylor: and listen to these songs that at the time were fantasy but now feel really relatable to me, and so this is, um, this is called Mine.

Crowd: [goes nuts again]

#cracking up at how fast i jump on 'drawer' before the rest of the crowd figures it out lmao #once she said 'things that hadn't happened to me yet' it only took me a split second to mentally run through the Speak Now tracklist #i was trying SO hard not to get my hopes up just in case #i *think* my friend asked me which one it was and that's what i was responding to about Speak Now #but tbh i had completely short circuited by that point so i don't even remember saying anything to her then #still cannot believe i didn't ruin the entire video by sobbing over the audio tbh #'you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter' gets me every. single. time. #taylor swift #eras tour #nashville n3 #mine
