I take “memorize the creeks in the floors” to mean they were living together - or spending a lot of time there anyway - that they knew every nuance of that apartment.

I saw your head tilt when she said “pointing in an ARROWHEAD leading us home.” Invisible string!

This is a very vulnerable song. She is afraid of losing him and trying to protect herself by knowing Cornelia Street is sacred ground for her because of how much it will remind her of this love. A part of her is trying to plan for it by saying I know I could never come back here if you leave me. It is a testament to her love and fear.

“I rent a place on Cornelia street” I say casually in the car. She actually lived on Cornelia street while her apartment in NYC was being renovated.

This is from the Lover album 2019. It's one of the songs about her 6 yr relationship that broke up in early 2023. Many fans (including myself) thought it would be way too painful to sing as a surprise song during the Eras Tour acoustic set - at least for several months. She did sing it once in August 2023 and you could tell it was still a little hard for her to get through it. She's had visible healing during the tour. A good comparison is of two times she sang "I Don't Want to Live Forever". In June 2023 it is heartbreaking to watch her especially at the "wondering if I dodged a bullet or just lost the love of my life?" Her face is pained, her voice broke, and she's trying to not cry. But she sang it again in March 2024 and got through it basically with a happy face and it was wonderful to see that difference. EDIT TO UPDATE: She played Cornelia Street + Maroon at N1 Liverpool (June 2024) and looked great. Happy to see that change!

Death by a Thousand cuts gets another vote :) Cornelia St is one of her best vocals, sooo good!!

1:32 Arrowhead. I saw you!! It’s been in the cards for her to be a KC Queen!!

One of my favorite live performances of Ms. Swift 🫶

I was born on Cornelia St, lived, was baptized and married on Cornelia St.

🆘 “Death by a thousand cuts” live from Paris - Same show!! 🆘 I swear it’s amazing! You’ve gotta see it!! I would not steer you wrong my friend! Thanks for doing this one! One of my favorite performances ever! Keep shining my guy ✨

for me, this is her best live acoustic performance. there are others that are great, but this one can't be topped, IMO.

AB Kreator you handle any and all criticism so well and classy! Thank you we love your channel!!! And we are no spring chickens! Even my teenage son loves your reactions! We enjoy it very much!! God Bless!!

Cornelia Street is where she was renting a place while her apartment home was being renovated in Tribeca. This is when she and Joe were just new. He was spending a lot of time in NY. She had been so thoroughly trashed by Kim and Kanye that she fled to London and started working on the Reputation album. There’s some pieces that talk about her and Joe’s beginning in London. After Reputation, she started writing more upbeat and optimistic songs for Lover. Obviously, this one still sounds tentative about new relationships. The Tribeca place was finished and she moved. Her relationship with Joe was apparently lots of ups and downs. He needed someone who liked to hide out and be private. She was Taylor freaking Swift and that was never going to be practical. Covid gave them more time like all of us, and she got busy with Aaron Dessner creating not one, but 2 albums during this time. I couldn’t even count on one hand how many times I saw Joe and Taylor together. They just weren’t meant to be each others person and I think he was moody which was terrible for someone who could be a little insecure because you start thinking it’s you. Then, she rebounded to Matty which was a disaster and thankfully short lived. Then , Travis Kelce was like lightening and joyful and I think they had a lot of time to talk to figure out if they were on the same path and wanted the same things and got to really have conversations before she showed up at Arrowhead Stadium and shocked everyone. There’s nothing like compatibility and absolute electric attraction. He’s super confident and easy going. He’s important in a different field, so they have different things to discuss. It’s just lovely to see and some songs will naturally fade away from her repertoire

"Memorize the creeks in the floors" I take it as sneaking around. When you're a teen and sneak out, you know the creeks in the floors to not give yourself away... A lot of people feel like she sneaks around with people before going public. She's said as much.

Death by a Thousand Cuts from same show pretty please!🍨🙏

Another great reaction! definitely one of my favorite performances. Honestly anything from the Lover in Paris concert is fire!

Omg before you start this one it is my absolute favorite performances of her life with this song. I have been practicing Cornelia Street on the guitar for two years. I definitely cannot sing the way she can, but it makes me so happy to play it the best that I can thank you for choosing this, whoever chose it.🙏 now I’m gonna sit back and watch quietly🥰

She is a mastermind.]

Amazing performance! Love this one!

❤I love this song. Making me teary eyed

Yay. My favorite ❤️

The last line repeats the opening of the song ---- taking her memory back to the beginning. The song is a memory of the start of the relationship. She does that in a lot of songs -- end with the same line as the opening.

this song is incredible, but this performance is top tier of ms. Swift!!

One of her best live performances of all time ❤️

I enjoy your reactions. You talk so fast at the beginning, I think you need a shirt that says Talk Swiftly To Me - with the double meaning of fast and Ms. Taylor Swift.

death by a thousand cuts also from the Paris live is amazing

She owns a townhome in New York on Cornelia street. She’s had it on the market for over a year. It was during the Joe Alwyn period and she’s ready to move on.

❤❤❤

I would react to the whole city of lover concert since it was short as she was getting ready to do her Lover Tour 2019, and then the pandemic hit. ☹️☹️

Taylor and a guitar is my favorite Taylor

nice

I have a suggestion... please do Everything has Changed (Taylor Swift feat. Ed Sheetan) and The Joker and The Queen (Ed Sheetan feat. Taylor Swift) music videos. The music videos are connected, and I'd love to see your reaction and hear your thoughts on it!!!

Bye, bye London Boy. Lots of red flags in retrospect.

Sad that she’s now put Cornelia Street up for sale.

I would love to see you do. I can do it with a broken heart.
