"Although fans wondered whether curfews or fines might cause Swift’s set to be condensed, Nissan Stadium is city-owned and said not to be subject to the restrictions that might affect other venues — especially when unleashing 70,000 angry Swifties into the wild is a prospect."
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.
i’ve been so sick and tired since the concert so i forgot to update y’all. the weather delayed the concert by 3 hours so i turned 21 during All Too Well!!! literally right before the verse “he said it’s supposed to be fun, turning 21.” honestly it was a spiritual moment. i’ll never experience something like that again. (my pic btw)
One thing for sure Taylor will never cancel a show
Yeah, the only way would be if the venue expressly said that it was not safe or allowed for either her or the audience. Or like the Thai shows that were cancelled.
That woman is performing come hell or high water! She's one of a kind 😍
taylor did everything she could to turn the night around for all of us last night 😭 like she really came through for us and recognized how special it was that we were all there together after all the chaos and !!!!!!!!!! it felt very special.
