Glad the concert was amazing! This sooo resonated with me. We’re the same age, so similar life milestones. I was listening to Long Live last week and texted my best friend that I couldn’t listen without crying. It just takes us back. Taylor has that affect. Thank you for writing this and ensuring me I’m not alone here! 🥲
Olivia, this made me get chills and brought tears to my eyes. I'm also someone who tries desperately to remember. I can still see a train passing by a pond out the window of my 7th grade Math classroom and the sliver of the moon when I looked up while happily walking my dog one night shortly after graduating college - moments I tried desperately to ingrain in my memory to remember how I felt in those moments and that Taylor Swift's songs were in the background of. How beautiful that you've put this experience into words. I hope you enjoy the concert + Denver!
This resonated. Recently listening to Taylor's version of the Speak Now album, I felt a sadness, and I realized how the music tugs at emotional memories mixed with nostalgia, putting me back in the place I was when I first listened to the music.
When I saw her in concert I got teary when she said “I wrote this song during a time when I didn’t know when we would all be able to be together like this” before she sang Cardigan. Have so much fun!!!!! 😭😭😭
I am openly sobbing!! INCREDIBLE. I relate to it all, and I’m so glad my friend sent me this link seven minutes ago so I could gush over it & think about it the rest of the week ✨🫶🏼
i know you gave the warning of "i can't stop crying when i watch this clip of Long Live" but when i teared up watching it, i was like OLIVIA IS DOING EMOTIONAL DAMAGE. all of this resonates! going to write about this in my journal!
Beautiful. I can’t say I remember when I first listened to her songs, but I can definitely remember when a song spoke to a moment in my life. Running to red after a tough breakup, feeling enchanted after a quick make out with a cute boy on a cruise that I never saw again, dealing with depression and insomnia with the whole of folklore. When I saw her in Philly last may, I felt such awe and joy there was no way I couldn’t cry. Have an amazing time, face jewels and all 💖
You have perfectly captured this! I also never felt like “a Swiftie” but the moment she arrived onstage when I saw her in Philly I started SOBBING and this is exactly why. She’s always been there right alongside! Hope you have the most amazing time!!!!!!!
I am a self described Swiftie, but I feel very similar to you. I feel like I’ve grown up with Taylor and I have visceral memories from the time in my life each album came out.
I’m balling my eyes out
I relate to this essay sooo much. Chills

This made me cry. Taylor has been there for everything! Enjoy the show
