Taylor Swift Charms Mexico City with "Cornelia Street"!

Nestled in the heart of Swiftie folklore is Taylor Swift’s Lover track “Cornelia Street”, a delightful musing of memories from her time living on Manhattan’s Cornelia Street. As a fan favorite since 2019, it has buzzed with anticipation in the crowd at each live performance, waiting for its moment in the spotlight. And at long last, during her Eras Tour in Mexico City, Taylor Swift granted that wish.

Swift once said, "It’s about the things that took place, the memories that were made on that street... I wrote this song about going back over the memories of things that happened in this particular place, and it ended up being one of my favorite songs."

"Cornelia Street" is a testament to the innate human tendency to attach memories to places. In the case of Swift, it's about romanticizing life and binding tales to a street that has been a significant chapter in her life story. This intimate connection between Swift and her fans has now been intensified, with the song's live performance bringing those memories into reality.

The crowd was electrified on Saturday night, August 26th, when Swift declared she would perform "Cornelia Street" during her acoustic set. She shared with the resounding audience, "I’m always trying to do songs that I either haven’t played live or haven’t played live in a long time. And I’ve really been trying to challenge myself to play a song that I haven’t played yet on the Eras Tour. You’ve been beyond patient and supportive, and it’s taken us this long to come here and play for you." The fans' patience was rewarded and their support was returned with a performance that was indeed worth the wait.

Additionally, Swift took the opportunity to throw in another surprise, performing "You're On Your Own Kid" from Midnights. A number we've seen her entrancing the crowd with during the tour.

Swift started her International Eras dates on August 24. She'll soon be heading back to the U.S. in October for more dates in Miami, New Orleans, and Indianapolis. With her dedication to performing songs that she hasn't in a while or ever, exciting surprises lie in waiting at each performance. One thing’s for sure, Taylor's "Cornelia Street" performance will forever remain etched in the hearts of those lucky enough to witness it in Mexico City.
