Cornelia Street address number is '23' Cornelia St—and she sang Cornelia Street '23' days after KK's birthday, which is also the 5th anniversary of KK's attending the Rep Tour in Nashville. She was also 23 years old at the time of meeting KK at the VSFS in New York.

The universe always finds a way, huh—even if it's unintentional.

😉🤡

8/26 show in Mexico City getting Cornelia Street 23 days after KK’s bday 8/3

And Exactly 5 years after Karlie’s post attending rep tour the night before in Nashville

And just to take it another step further 8/26 was the 4year anniversary of her appearance at the VMAs after Lover Album’s release

Where she performed with this backdrop for Lover. 🌙 Imagery we see numerous times throughout the Eras tour.

And which moment ended up being the closing scene from the Miss Americana documentary

And this was her look for the Lover section of the 8/26 show 🦋🦋

To perform Cornelia Street from TS7 at the second to last show in the month of August 3 days after the 4year anniversary of Lover album’s release 8/23/19 (an album released 20 days after Karlz’s bday) is just something special no matter how you slice it 🤡

There will always be something if you look hard enough lol

Taylor Swift and her 13 nights in Latin America

In 2023, after a long wait, for the first time ever Taylor Swift toured in Latin America. There were 13 concerts (nice coincidence) of The Eras Tour in 3 different countries.

In August Mexico was the first country of Latin America as well as the first country of the international leg to receive The Eras Tour. The only registry of Taylor in the country before was in 2011, where she played some songs for a small group of people aboard the Allure of The Seas, while the ship was stopped in Mexico.

Taylor performed in Mexico City for 4 consecutives nights. In Mexico, people speak Spanish, so Taylor spoke these words in the concerts: Gracias (means thanks), Te amo (means I love you) and Ciudad de México, Bievenidos al Eras Tour (means Mexico city, welcome to The Eras Tour).

The surprise songs were:

August 24 – Mexico City: I Forgot That You Existed and Sweet Nothing

August 25 – Mexico City: Tell Me Why and Snow on the Beach

August 26 – Mexico City: Cornelia Street and You're on Your Own, Kid

August 27 – Mexico City: Afterglow and Maroon

To see my posts about Mexico concerts (click here).

Taylor after the concerts via her social medias:

In November, Taylor came back to Latin America to perform for 3 consecutive nights in Buenos Aires, Argentina. However, the second concert had to be rescheduled due the chaotic weather. It was supposed to happen in November 10th and it was postponed to November 12th. It was her first time ever in the country.

Fun facts:

In the first night Taylor wore new outfits for Lover Act: a pink jacket to perform The Man and a pink bodysuit to perform the other Lover songs (click here to see it)

Argentinian swifties made a project where they held a paper written "We will stay" while Taylor was performing The Archer

In Argentina, people speak Spanish, so Taylor spoke some words in the language. Instead of saying "Hi!" in the beginning of the concert, Taylor said "¡Hola!". Taylor also said: Te amo (means I love you), "Buenos Aires, Bievenidos al Eras Tour" (means Buenos Aires, welcome to The Eras Tour), and "Do you happen to have diez minutos?" (diez minutos means ten minutes) before playing All Too Well (Ten Minute Version).

The surprise songs were:

November 9 - Buenos Aires: The Very First Night and Labyrinth

November 11 - Buenos Aires: Is It Over Now? + Out Of The Woods (mashup) and End Game

November 12 - Buenos Aires: Better Than Revenge and "Slut!"

To see my posts about Argentina concerts (click here).

Taylor after the concerts via her social medias:

In the same month, Taylor travelled to Brazil to perform 6 concerts. It was her second time in the country. In 2012 Taylor have been in Rio de Janeiro to play for a small group of fans in a pocket show. She also released a Long Live version featuring Paula Fernandes, a Brazilian singer who sang a part of the song in Portuguese. Taylor and Paula played the song together at the pocket show.

Brazil was the country in Latin America to receive the biggest number of concerts of The Eras Tour as well as the only country in Latin America to receive The Eras Tour in 2 different cities: São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Taylor was supposed to performe for 3 consecutives nights in Rio de Janeiro. However, the second concert had to be rescheduled due to the atypical weather. It was supposed to happen in November 18th and it was postponed to November 20th. On the next weekend, she performed for 3 consecutives nights in São Paulo.

Fun facts:

It rained on the second show in Rio de Janeiro

On the third show in Rio, Taylor's shoe heel broke, she threw to the crowd and a fan grabbed it and took it to home

Kaya Scodelario (actress) attended in the last show in Rio de Janeiro

Paula Fernandes attended in the last show in São Paulo

Brazilian swifties made a project where with their cellphones they formed the Brazilian flag at the crowd (click here to watch a video)

Taylor Swift was honored with a projection on Christ The Reedemer statue. No other international artist was honored with projection on the statue before. Brazilian swifties put a lot of effort to make it happen. Also, a lot of swifties participated in a fund rising connect with the Catholic church of Rio de Janeiro that is responsable for the Christ statue

In Brazil people speak Portuguese. Taylor spoke these words in the language: Olá (means hi), Rio, bem-vindos a Eras Tour! And São Paulo, bem-vindos a The Eras Tour! (means welcome to The Eras Tour), obrigada (means thank you), eu te amo (means I love you).

Sadly, a beautiful soul was lost at the first show in Rio de Janeiro. Ana Clara Benevides was a Brazilian swiftie who travelled from another state to Rio and was looking forward for her first Taylor's show. You will always be remembered! (Click here to know more about Ana)

The surprise songs were:

November 17 - Rio de Janeiro: Stay Beautiful and Suburban Legends

November 19 - Rio de Janeiro: Dancing With Our Hand Tied and Bigger Than The Whole Sky

November 20 - Rio de Janeiro: ME! and So It Goes...

November 24 - São Paulo: Now That We Don't Talk and Innocent

November 25 - São Paulo: Safe & Sound and Untouchable

November 26 - São Paulo: Say Don't Go and It's Time To Go

To see my posts about Brazilian concerts (click here).

Taylor after the concerts via her social medias:

I'm sure every swiftie who has been in any of these nights made these shows even more spectacular.

Latin America hope to see you @taylorswift soon again ❤️

💫 Long live all the magic we made... ✨️

girl!! joe was spotted in nyc this week. all of a sudden for her mexico shows taylor is looking really heartbroken and emotional again…she cried at every champagne problems performance, there were tears streaming down her face during lover, and obviously the surprise songs…the surprise songs were insane and honestly were proof to me that she is still HEARTBROKEN. like the way she sang cornelia street…she is not moved on at all. i also thought it was interesting that she sang songs that had new york references while he’s in new york. but yeah people are thinking something might’ve happened (she saw he was in the city, he messaged her, etc) and that’s why she’s so emotional and singing so many joe songs.

i don’t know. all i want is them back together tbh

EXACTLY!!! I am so sure something might have happened or smth. NYC is really an important place in their relationship and obviously it is gonna bring bitter sweet memories. Same here, Like all i wanna know is they're back together. I won;t even ask for pap pics of them or little crumbs. I just want them to be back together

More thoughts

Well I’ve been able to listen to pretty much the whole album now and I have some thoughts.

I’ll also just share my thoughts on her orientation. I basically abandoned this blog and tumblr in general for a couple years and I’m only back for simblr stuff on my main blog and misc memes/taylor/twilight stuff on this one sometimes. And it’s kind of tentative how much I’ll actually be here at all. I’m mostly on reddit and discord now. In terms of the speculating and talking about Taylor/Karlie, obviously they broke up several years ago and the intensity of the bullying and hatred from hetero fans was too much for pretty much all of us. From the Lover period onward she pretty much dove headfirst back into the closet and seems to want to stay there, and is pretty aggressively trying to dispute rumors about this whole thing, which didn’t help with the bullying and aggression towards lgbt fans.

This album, Lover, and her general PR stuff has such aggressive “look at me and how straight I am, I’m the most hetero to have ever heteroed, look at my boyfriend dick allcock from man island who is totally not a twink who woohoos with guys on tinder and happens to get a huge fame boost from me” I have seriously considered if the straights are right and we were all “delusional crazy pants” or whatever. Like I have tried to be open minded and really go over all the analysis of everything.

But there is absolutely zero hetero explanation for all the stuff between her and Karlie. You can look at photos/videos from their glass closeting days and its so transparently obvious. The best best friends video, the big sur trip drawing hearts in the sand with their initials, the way that they looked at each other every single chance that we saw them together, “I came straight from Rome” etc. Even when she started bearding it was such a disaster at first. She and Calvin so transparently hated each other and he basically outed her on Twitter after the fact saying that she was a beard. Her and Tom were so obvious that interviewers literally asked Tom if it was a PR stunt and at their super hetero fourth of july photoshoot with their “boyfriends” there were all those soaking wet photos of Karlie grabbing her tits and wrestling with her on a waterslide.

Also reputation.. how transparently it was about Karlie. “wear you like a necklace,” “I don’t want you like a best friend,” “I would fall from grace just to touch your face,” “dancing with our hands tied,” all these references to a forbidden secret love. And she specifically picked Joe as an ugly male version of Karlie that she could pretend to sing about and be like “Oh I like a boyish man” as a blanket explanation for dating people like Harry Styles who last I saw him was wearing ruffly sparkling pink and rainbow suits on stage and singing songs about sucking dick with male pronouns. It was a good arrangement, especially considering she really loved Karlie and was in it for the long haul. And it seems like she and Joe are really good friends, get along well, and he has some musical talent so they’ve even collaborated on some songs a bit.

Then we have Karlie’s marriage, their messy breakup, Lover which was supposed to be a happy rainbow album about being happy with her true love but there were some breakup songs snuck on there (False God, Cornelia Street, Death by a Thousand Cuts) and she looked utterly wretchedly miserable, like she was crying or sullen in a bunch of pap shots (especially NY pap shots) and in the City of Lover video she is dressed in all black despite the rainbow aesthetic of the album and seems to be basically on the verge of tears during the whole show. The performance of Cornelia Street from that show gives me chills. You can hear her agony so palpably.

Folklore and Evermore have a lot of fiction based songs, and I do think it’s reaching to say that Betty is a gay song, like folks its a storytelling/fictional song. But there are a few heart rending breakup anthems. Like some of the saddest she’s ever written. Some scary lines about standing on cliffsides. But yeah she’s happy Mrs Toe in a long term happy relationship.

Totally. In terms of Zoe Kravitz, they’ve been friends for many years, including while she was dating Karlie. Zoe divorced her husband at the end of 2020 and there are some interesting songs about having an affair with a married woman/leaving a toxic marriage that I thought were about Karlie but.. maybe they weren’t all about her. Zoe also seems to have collaborated with her on some of the music so it wouldn’t surprise me if some of those songs were written by her too. Zoe is part of her “squad” or “pandemic bubble” along with Toe and others and when she’s gone to visit Europe ostensibly to visit Toe Zoe happened to be there shooting films and Tay seems to have taken a Paris trip with a special someone. I really don’t think she’ll come out or do a glass closeting thing again after the disaster with Karlie. She seems happy to keep her love life between herself and her partner and emphasizes that in her recent albums (yet she’s publicly dating Toe? Again it doesn’t line up) So I basically just envision them all hanging out as friends, gallivanting around Europe with Jack and other friends/maybe some of Toe’s bfs, working on music together. She seems obviously happier and not broken up about Karlie. I’ll breakdown some of my views about the Midnights songs Lavender Haze - She put out some kind of ultra no homo PR announcement about this in order to defuse the fact that this is so transparently a song about the pressure for a lavender marriage, which she really really does not want. Like she’ll be in a happy hetero relationship with this man for all the world to see if it keeps the rumors at bay, helps her with her career, and gives her some privacy with Zoe.. but marriage is a lot and she really doesn’t want to do it. I can’t believe she was so blatant about it though. Like wow.

Maroon/Bigger than the whole Sky/Bejeweled/Question/Mastermind/Great War - Some reflection on the Karlie debacle, but she seems to be recognizing it wasn’t healthy or perfect and it’s okay that it ended. I love Maroon, it’s like Red’s sultry older sister.

Vigilante Shit/Karma - Kanye debacle, gotta have some songs about that I guess.

Midnight Rain/Labrynth/Dear Reader - I hate the voice distortion effects on these so much. It makes my skin crawl and I couldn’t listen to those more than once to analyze them. I hope to god she doesn’t ever use that again in future songs.

Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve - About John Mayer. Even us conspiracy weirdos think that one was real, he was a toxic manipulative gross man who messed her up and it was basically a last ditch effort to try to be straight. She regrets the whole thing and I understand why.

Glitch/Paris/Sweet Nothing/ Snow on Beach/High Infidelity - She’s happy with someone new and it’s very unexpected.. someone she loves and trusts and she’s been friends with for a long while. Someone who left her husband for Taylor instead of the other way around like some people. Tay still has some trust issues and fear of abandonment but seems to be happy nonetheless.

Mastermind/YOYOK/Anti Hero - Her insecurities/mental health issues. She’s been in the Hollywood spotlight for basically her whole teen and adult life. It’s caused a lot of stress, disordered eating, messed up a lot of her relationships. She’s worried that she’s controlling, and the closeting/PR stunts will be too much for anyone that she falls in love. She’s afraid of getting old in an industry that values youth and beauty above all. In terms of “sexy babies and giants on a hill” I would imagine that if you’re worried about your weight and about aging that being unusually tall kind of amplifies those fears of being too large/too old/surrounded by youngsters that you don’t fit in with.

I cried watching the Anti Hero video honestly. She seems really depressed in terms of Anti Hero and her last two albums. Some really concerning lyrics about standing on cliffs and “one day I’ll watch as you’re leaving and life will lose all its meaning for the last time.” Like babe.. I really hope she’s getting help. Therapists are already sworn to secrecy per their job and I’m sure she could also have lawyers cook up the NDA of the century if she’s still concerned about talking to someone. Therapy can’t just solve all her problems but there are definitely tools that she could use to cope with this situation and it’s also good to get a different, positive, non judgmental perspective on things. I really hope she’s okay and stays safe. I’ll keep an eye on things but again I can’t really promise I’ll use tumblr very much.

#just rambling more about tays album and my interpretations #and i guess general theories #my old timeey speculating self back very briefly for the new album

What do you think the setlist for Loverfest would've been? 🙃💔

shucks i feel like there are many other people who would be technically better at answering this question

working backwards, i would assume that 18 full songs would’ve been too many for a setlist, so i think that INTHAF would have been relegated to background music during a set/costume change. maybe right before she would come back on stage to do something like play daylight on the piano.

i also think the archer would have gotten similar background music treatment (sadly because i love the song)

does IFTYE make the list? i’m not sure. she could not play it and people could laugh about how she forgot it, so maybe it doesn’t make the cut either. i’d have to assume SYGB and false god are also candidates for being cut, sadly.

i bet cornelia street would have been acoustic like on the city of lover tour, maybe similarly back to back with DBATC.. and i think afterglow would have sounded really good in a stadium.

maybe cruel summer is the opener?? what do you all the opener is? i feel like ITHN would be in the front half of the concert. somehow i think paper rings would be a front half song as well.

maybe lover is played more toward the middle. but is it on piano? is it a dramatic orchestral number? i think it would be dreamy for her to sing it while flying over the audience. but did her venues allow for that kind of mobility? after all she was going to be surrounded in the middle. not sure where a wire system would attach to.

which reminds me, WHAT was she planning with that stage?? was it gonna rotate? was it gonna go up and down? was she gonna move from it? how many dancers were gonna fit on that thing?? i once again am desperate to see any official concept art.

i guess another new element to consider is, she could’ve been out during tour. so, would her setlist have incorporated some sort of narrative element around that. would she end the setlist with a YNTCD, instead of a London Boy, for example. or maybe ME! rounds things off.

and where would she fit in a greatest hits medley? wait well, in this supposed timeline, where are her masters? maybe she plays no old music? i bet she would’ve used the man as a chance to make a visual statement about her masters (like the AMA performance), if this was the case.

for me it’s very fun to think about. there are so many little points of interest to base guesses on.

i’d love to hear what other people think!!

I couldn’t agree with you more, the City of Lover version of Cornelia Street had no right to be that perfect!

Actually, I wasn’t a big fan of Cornelia Street until I heard that version and now I get teared up every time I listen to it, which is prettt much all the time because I’m a sucker for Taylor’s extra romantic and/or painful heartbreak love songs.

Cornelia Street live is just so good. I love the whole City of Lover. It’s crazy to think that that was the last performance in front of fans (besides like SNL for All Too Well)

I am also a sucker for the extra romantic ones and the super sad ones. Hoax is one of my faves because it’s somehow so romantic and so depressing
