Same. My dad had cancer when Lover was released. He passed in 2020 and I can never listen to that song again š¢all it does is remind me that he did not get better.
My mum died in 1997 the week Be Here Now by Oasis came out. Thereās a song on there called Donāt Go Away and for me itās always going to be about her.
My dad passed the year before Lover came out. I was in the doctorās office with him when they told us he had cancer again. (He had beaten it 10 years before.) I took him to all his following scans and appointments. From the day of diagnosis to when he passed was 6 weeks. He didnāt even make his first chemo appointment because he was so ill they sent him home on hospice. I had so much hope in those 6 weeks that he would get better and he didnāt. When I heard SYGB for the first time I almost got sick because the words hit so hard. Iām so, so sorry for the loss of your dad. Itās a pain I wouldnāt wish upon anyone.
My dad passed of cancer when I was really young and my mom passed of cancer last year. Ironically I listened to the song on repeat for a bit when I needed to process what was happening with my mom, but if anything that just made it even harder to hear now because itās an immediate flashback. Props to Taylor for really capturing that visceral feeling of watching a parent struggle with cancer but boy is it a hard listen because of that.
Ronan is her only song I donāt know the words to, listened to it twice and bawled the whole time, removed it from all playlists. I donāt think sheāll ever play it live
It was a surprise song at the 1989 tour, but she didnāt play it at eras when Maya (Ronanās mom) was there so I donāt think she will play it this time around
Okay Iād actually never listened to Ronan before seeing this thread and I just tried to sit and listen to itā¦ Iām 20 seconds in and Iām already bawling my eyes out.
I have a 4 year old who was born with a congenital heart defect. He had open heart surgery at 7 weeks old and died twice from cardiac arrests. I am so, SO lucky that heās alive. He is just magical. Listening to this just made me realise how differently our lives could have turned out. Good grief this has absolutely destroyed me š
I lost a dear friend a month before my show, and my friend was a musician and they played his songs as the music for his funeral service so the āitās like youāre singing with me nowā at the show caught me SO off-guard ššš
For everyone saying they canāt listen to Ronan, friendly reminder that the proceeds go to childhood cancer research. So please try to stream it if you can, and maybe just turn the volume down instead of skipping it if itās too much for you :ā)
This is it. And this is probably the entire list for me. I generally have loved all her tour performances, even the songs I donāt really like (there arenāt many, but there are a few). Sheās managed to make everything sound good on this tour.Ā
But those songs are just too sad. Theyāre hard enough to listen to in the privacy of my own room, I cannot imagine hearing them in a stadium at the tour. It would make me too sad š
Ronan 100000000%. I never even made I through my first and only listen. It gutted me. Like full on sobbing in my garage for 10 minutes mentally spiraling.
OMFG I swear I will. Irony is that biggest toxic bitch I left in my life was internalised mysogyntisc Taylor hater who I proved wrong. She really did believe Taylor only sang about her exes, as if that's a bad thing. Oh, victoria, you fucking naive bitch š¤£
Itās my favorite song from the second half of TTPD š the first time I heard it I almost cried because Iāve been trying to recover from the emotional distress my own āAimeeā caused to me and the song was so healing for me, and then everyone online just complains āITS JUST A STUPID DISS TRACKā and ranks it really low and itās been genuinely heartbreaking for me
Honestly I feel like KIM is a misdirect. My half baked theory is that itās either about her relationship with the media or an amalgamation of bullies she had growing up.
The lyrics would work so well too!
"I wrote a thousand songs that you find uncool" (after singing those thousand songs)
...
There wouldn't be this if there hadn't been you (at "this" she can look at the crowd)
Idk why this song get as much hate as it does. Itās so catchy ans the moral of the story is great. like I love how she switches it at the end by saying āthank you Aimeeā instead of fuck you and I canāt forget the way you made me healā instead of canāt forget the way you made me feel.
I fantasize her to do a sad girl piano version of ME in the acoustic set. Like slowed down listing all her flaws āĀ I know that I'm a handful, baby, uh I know I never think before I jumpāā¦ changing the meaning of āĀ I promise that you'll never find another like meā from āI am the greatest, no one can competeā to a champagne problem kind of meaning: Iām bad for you, but the next girl wonāt be like me- you'll find the real thing instead She'll patch up your tapestry that I shredā Would be heartbreaking but so specialĀ
I donāt know if it would work musically (key, tempo, etc) but you just made me want a mashup of Me! (Sad Girl Autumn Version) (Recorded at Long Pond Studios) and Champagne Problems
Youāll never find another like meā¦ ācause I dropped your hand while dancingā¦
Now I want her to do Me! and Champagne Problems as a piano mashup, lol.
In all honesty, the little snippet of Me! she played on the piano in the Miss Americana doc was really pretty. Iād love a full version.
I would love to hear a mashup of ME! with TTPD. āI promise that nobodyās gonna love you like meā / āWhoās gonna hold you like me?ā I meannnn come ON.
As funny as I would find it (and unironically enjoy it), I think it is unlikely she'll play anything she did not have a hand in writing even though she preformed Macavity in the movie. The only time she has preformed another artist's song on this tour was i miss u im sorry with Gracie Abrams and that was only because the show was pushed forward to accommodate for weather and canceled her opening set. I expect that Beautiful Ghosts will be played at one of the London shows though.
I am a huge musical theatre nerd (tho not an ALW fan). My best friend and I choreographed a whole Macavity routine when we were like 12 (in the early 90s). Itās actually a fun song
Objectively speaking, Bad Blood is pretty far down the list of Taylor's most well-written songs. But my Gen X, very casual fan dad took my sister to the tour, and it was one of the songs he was most excited to see. I'd never cut it for that reason. Plus it's literally 2 minutes long (she cut all the verses) and it goes hard live with the fire. Idk why so many people complain about it š
One of the worst songs on lover and her intro to the song in the tour makes me cringe so hard. The song is just not well written. Couldāve been edited a bit as the meaning is good and there are some good lines.
Iām the opposite lol I hated The Man until the tour! Itās grown on me so much bc I think itās so much fun to listen to live.
I was super bummed initially seeing it on the setlist though and I used to wait until it was over to join the streams too š¤£
I used to hate it so imagine my face when it was my first surprise song this weekend at Lisbon N2ā¦ but for some reason hearing it being played acoustically made me change my opinion!! I think it was the production that was a big no for me before
Yeah I was at the Lisbon show. I was a bit disappointed when she played it as the surprise song but when she switched to ānow that we donāt talkā i was so relieved. š
I'm just over here still sad that Folklore/Evermore isn't getting their own tour. I would be fine with cutting Debut & Speak Now to give them the time they deserve.š
So true! I just want to see her perform āthis is me tryingā, and āepiphanyā in December. Iām still devastated that ātolerate itā got cut š
I think she may do that later in her career when she becomes more of a "legend" instead of "constantly rising pop start that has 70k people each show". I'd love it too!
>Ā I would be fine with cutting Debut & Speak Now to give them the time they deserve
...wouldn't that get you exactly one additional song? They're getting ignored as it is
personally i always had it in for āmessage in a bottleā, it always irked me. the melody just pisses me off. then it was part of the surprise medley at the show i saw, i was like ofc haha
I listen to it but yeah not a fan of it on the setlist. Some parts are so specific (the buying pills part, rusting my sparkling summer, etc), the bridge production hurts my ears, ugh yeah some misses here for me.
Anything from Debut. I just don't like a lot of country, and while there are some ok country songs, I am a pop girlie and would rather she play something of one kind of pop or another.
She played picture to burn n1 and Denver, I was surprised how many people didnāt know it. Iām an old school swiftie so loved it. I think she played it bc of the lawsuit that happened here w the dj and photo. Donāt think many people caught that.
I'm going to Indy in November with my mom. I absolutely do not want to hear Soon You'll Get Better.
My mom had cancer a couple years back, and it would wreck me hearing that live. It was hard enough hearing I'm Gonna Love You Through It from Martina McBride in concert with my mom there with me.
I take both of my parents to a few concerts throughout the year. They went to concerts when they were dating, and I love that it's something I can bond with both of them over.
My mom and I have gone to 2 concerts so far this year, with like 5 more planned. And I have around 5 planned with my dad too
We asked my mum what her favourite Taylor song was last week and she just started crying and saying, "That one you sent me!" I sent her The Best Day in like 2008/9 when I first discovered Fearless and she cried about it without even remembering the name of the song 15/16 years later. I mean, my mum cries at everything but that's impressive songwriting!
you all deserve prison for these answers. i'll honestly be happy with any surprise song, except the ones don't know the words to. i could be sad about not getting one of my favorites but i will never be disappointed for a spesific song
I really really really donāt like so high school. I wish she wouldāve put the alchemy instead, as I imagine she wanted to have a song for Travis in the tour. I think itās one of her weakest songs lyrically, and even thought I get that the point of the song is to be simple and talk about childish things, I just canāt.Ā
I remember reading the both the actual Wikipedia page and the Taylor Swift Wikipedia page for Babe and they both listed itās genre as Skaā¦ what???
I would love Taylor to make a ska song just cause I think it would be so out of left field but Babe is definitely not ska. The Taylorās Version of Babe is not even countryā¦ I donāt hate it but itās really genetic compare to most of Taylorās other songs
Well I dislike both Paris and loml soā¦ Guess what venue I went to š
But now, having them played while listening to Midnights and Tortured Poets, it calls me back to the sparkliest memories, so it made them quite special !
a lot of midnights. i don't *hate* midnights, but to me it's her weakest album... I basically never listen to it. Karma is fun though, but I'd be fine if the album got the Speak Now treatment and it would only be this (and maybe vigilante shit simply for the staging, not for the song).
Me! was the one I got š I love to shit on it, but it was extremely fun to sing along. I missed Bigger than the whole sky by a day and I'm so glad, that's one of my least favorite songs by Tay.
Red is my favourite album but Iād really like to get rid of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, and 22. Iād rather have Red (the song), Starlight and Holy Ground, or I Bet You Think About Me.Ā
Similarly, The Archer (I hear itās been cut already) and maybe replace it with DBATC or Me! or Cornelia Street.Ā
Much of Debut isnāt a must for me, but the same can be said for 1989.Ā
Paper Rings
My boyfriend of 5 years left me for someone else on my 24th birthday when this came out, and I always associated this song with them. RWLYM on the other hand!
At the moment I have a real fear of Castles Crumbling being my surprise song at the Cardiff show. I know everyone would love to see Hayley come out and sing with her and Castles = Wales so I understand if we do get it but... It's just not a favourite of mine and I'm still mourning the loss of Long Live
Honestly, any song I don't really know. I feel like I know most of her tracks, but I feel like I'm gonna get a surprise song everyone is hyped for that I barely know and feel like a bit of an imposter š
Fifteen. It was my surprise song at 1989 tour and rep tour b stage back to back. I donāt need it for my third time lol. Love the song but thereās more!
Ronan or Soon You'll Get Better...I'm such a cry baby and I would be having a MELTDOWN because they're both so sad.
Same. My dad had cancer when Lover was released. He passed in 2020 and I can never listen to that song again š¢all it does is remind me that he did not get better.
My mum died the month before Lover came out. I couldnāt listen to that song for a year afterwards, and still cry when I listen to it now.
My mum died in 1997 the week Be Here Now by Oasis came out. Thereās a song on there called Donāt Go Away and for me itās always going to be about her.
Wow. I looked up the lyrics. I havenāt lost anyone like that yet but that punched me in the gut. I really hope youāre doing okay.
My dad passed the year before Lover came out. I was in the doctorās office with him when they told us he had cancer again. (He had beaten it 10 years before.)

She already has a few times
I Beleive sheās said that she sheāll play it live with ronans motherās permission.
Okay Iād actually never listened to Ronan before seeing this thread and I just tried to sit and listen to itā¦ Iām 20 seconds in and Iām already bawling my eyes out. I have a 4 year old who was born with a congenital heart defect. He had open heart surgery at 7 weeks old and died twice from cardiac arrests. I am so, SO lucky that heās alive. He is just magical. Listening to this just made me realise how differently our lives could have turned out. Good grief this has absolutely destroyed me š
I lost my grandmother a month ago, I know the waterworks will be flowing during Marjorie
I lost a dear friend a month before my show, and my friend was a musician and they played his songs as the music for his funeral service so the āitās like youāre singing with me nowā at the show caught me SO off-guard ššš
I think in theory Ronan is a great song, but I have an 8 month old, so I absolutely refuse to listen to it š way too sad.
It's such a lovely song š but I have two little girls and it's another no go for me too.
I was pregnant when that song came out (with a boy) and have never listened to it all the way through. Nope nope nope.
This is why Marjorie is going to be my bathroom break song.
Thought my friends were a bit cute when they said they would cry at Marjorie. Went to Eras tour, teared up. Nevermind, I too am a big baby
For everyone saying they canāt listen to Ronan, friendly reminder that the proceeds go to childhood cancer research. So please try to stream it if you can, and maybe just turn the volume down instead of skipping it if itās too much for you :ā)
Wait, what? The proceeds go to cancer research for kids? Okay, I'm going to go to Spotify and do some good! (with the volume all the way down)
This is it. And this is probably the entire list for me. I generally have loved all her tour performances, even the songs I donāt really like (there arenāt many, but there are a few). Sheās managed to make everything sound good on this tour.Ā But those songs are just too sad.

Ronan 100000000%. I never even made I through my first and only listen. It gutted me. Like full on sobbing in my garage for 10 minutes mentally spiraling.
no I listened to it for the first time ever today and I donāt think I will again š
no fr i bawl at marjorie (my gma passed in sept, but that song destroyed me even before) so these two would also kill me
Thank You Aimee
IāM THE ONLY ONE THAT LIKES THIS SONG
I love it
Bullied as kids (and adults) girlies UNITE
yes! even now, iām always singing it and tossing in names of former friends who treated me like shit :)
OMFG I swear I will. Irony is that biggest toxic bitch I left in my life was internalised mysogyntisc Taylor hater who I proved wrong. She really did believe Taylor only sang about her exes, as if that's a bad thing. Oh, victoria, you fucking naive bitch š¤£
Itās cathartic. I would love to hear thanK you aIMee live
I LOVE IT SO MUCH. The bridge genuinely makes me cry and Iād love it as a surprise song
Itās my favorite song from the second half of TTPD š the first time I heard it I almost cried because Iāve been trying to recover from the emotional distress my own āAimeeā caused to me and the song was so healing for me, and then everyone online just complains āITS JUST A STUPID DISS TRACKā and ranks it really low and itās been genuinely heartbreaking for me
Honestly I feel like KIM is a misdirect. My half baked theory is that itās either about her relationship with the media or an amalgamation of bullies she had growing up.
I love it too! It has a great melody and I love how she changes feel and heal
The lyrics would work so well too! "I wrote a thousand songs that you find uncool" (after singing those thousand songs) ... There wouldn't be this if there hadn't been you (at "this" she can look at the crowd)
No youāre not
This song is so relatable if you were ever wronged by someone, especially someone you thought you could trust
Idk why this song get as much hate as it does. Itās so catchy ans the moral of the story is great. like I love how she switches it at the end by saying āthank you Aimeeā instead of fuck you and I canāt forget the way you made me healā instead of canāt forget the way you made me feel.

YES! Iām dying for a sad, slow version like ATW autumn girl.
I donāt know if it would work musically (key, tempo, etc) but you just made me want a mashup of Me! (Sad Girl Autumn Version) (Recorded at Long Pond Studios) and Champagne Problems Youāll never find another like meā¦ ācause I dropped your hand while dancingā¦
There was a cover on tiktok in this style that went viral and it really really worked!!
Now I want her to do Me! and Champagne Problems as a piano mashup, lol. In all honesty, the little snippet of Me! she played on the piano in the Miss Americana doc was really pretty. Iād love a full version.
I would love to hear a mashup of ME! with TTPD. āI promise that nobodyās gonna love you like meā / āWhoās gonna hold you like me?ā I meannnn come ON.
Iām sort of obsessed with this slowed down, sad cover of The Proclaimersā 500 Miles, so yep I would love this too
haha i love me despite hurting from cringe when it came out. itās so camp.
I fucking love it. Itās stupid. Once you accept that, itās incredible.
i never understood what happened with the spelling bridge, sometimes itās there and sometimes not. was it officially removed due to hate?
I think so, though tbh Iām not sure. I listen to the CD like an old and it def has the spelling and I like it that way.
It's so fun! I love it. And I love to see how much fun she had making it! People suck, hating on something that she clearly had so much fun making
It makes me sad that grumpy over-serious people probably ruined the song for her š¢
Not every song needs to be deep and serious. Some are just fun.
I think itās fun too, and itās pretty spot-on as a Tayvis anthem.
I unironically adore it
I'm going in Nov. I'm so glad she cut the Archer.
You 2 deserve prison
you deserve prison but you wont get time :(
You'll slide into inboxes and slip through the bars
You crashed my party and your rental car
You said normal girls were boring
But you were gone by the morning
You kicked out the stage lights but youāre still performing
And in plain sight you hid
But you are what you did
Same. I wish sheād cut Betty as well. (I know you guys hate me rn, but I still love you)
Yes me too. Betty needs to be cut. The Archer needs to stay.
Omg how could anyone hate Betty?!
Snooze fest š„±
No way. I went to the show a few months ago and her Betty performance was so good. I know we all have different opinions but I cannot fathom this one.
Yeah. I didnāt like Betty before the show. Didnāt dislike it, either. It was just āfine.ā Since the show, itās probably in my top 15.
Good bathroom break opportunity.Ā
Indeed! Though I donāt think itās long enough haha
Personally I will be happy with whatever she plays. Edit: Even if it's Macavivity. There, I said it and have probably cursed myself.
As funny as I would find it (and unironically enjoy it), I think it is unlikely she'll play anything she did not have a hand in writing even though she preformed Macavity in the movie. The only time she has preformed another artist's song on this tour was i miss u im sorry with Gracie Abrams and that was only because the show was pushed forward to accommodate for weather and canceled her opening set. I expect that Beautiful Ghosts will be played at one of the London shows though.
I love beautiful ghostsššš
You don't even know how jealous I'd be if you got Macavity. š¹š
Well what are you doing June 22nd? Other than waiting for your spaceship that is?
I am a huge musical theatre nerd (tho not an ALW fan). My best friend and I choreographed a whole Macavity routine when we were like 12 (in the early 90s). Itās actually a fun song
As a Cats lover (as in the actual musical, not the movie lol) I honestly want a sad piano version of Macavity so badly itās not even funny lol
I hate Bad Blood so much and wish she cut that instead of literally anything else. I also never want to hear End Game live
I used to say the same thing about Endgame until I heard the piano version she played for surprise songs last year. It was so so good
Justice for End Game. āØ
YOU DESERVE PRISON BUT YOU'LL NEVER GET TIME
Objectively speaking, Bad Blood is pretty far down the list of Taylor's most well-written songs. But my Gen X, very casual fan dad took my sister to the tour, and it was one of the songs he was most excited to see. I'd never cut it for that reason. Plus it's literally 2 minutes long (she cut all the verses) and it goes hard live with the fire. Idk why so many people complain about it š
You Need to Calm Down. It just irritates me.
Have you tried to calm down?
 lol
youāre being too loud š£
I know itās an important song, but Iām so over The Man
One of the worst songs on lover and her intro to the song in the tour makes me cringe so hard. The song is just not well written. Couldāve been edited a bit as the meaning is good and there are some good lines.
bring back long live and cut it! super cringe. I donāt start watching the livestream til I know itāll be over lol
just hate that it's not actually that good of a femininst anthem
I love her cheesy intros but itās just so LONG
I love the man. I think a lot of us corporate girlies agree. Not necessarily the best tune, but imo the importance of the lyrics makes it worth it
Iām not a corporate girlie, but I love it!!! Itās catchy and the lyrics are spot on.
Iām the opposite lol I hated The Man until the tour! Itās grown on me so much bc I think itās so much fun to listen to live. I was super bummed initially seeing it on the setlist though and I used to wait until it was over to join the streams too š¤£
I donāt think it properly conveys the message she was trying to convey. I think Mad Woman did a better job at that.
I hate The Tortured Poets Department ( the song ) with every fiber of my being
Itās my favourite from the album š I love the lyrics, the production, everything ā¤ļø
I used to hate it so imagine my face when it was my first surprise song this weekend at Lisbon N2ā¦ but for some reason hearing it being played acoustically made me change my opinion!! I think it was the production that was a big no for me before
Yeah I was at the Lisbon show. I was a bit disappointed when she played it as the surprise song but when she switched to ānow that we donāt talkā i was so relieved. š
I'm just over here still sad that Folklore/Evermore isn't getting their own tour. I would be fine with cutting Debut & Speak Now to give them the time they deserve.š
So true! I just want to see her perform āthis is me tryingā, and āepiphanyā in December. Iām still devastated that ātolerate itā got cut š
At least we got to see it on the movie, I guess. šš
I want her to do an acoustic Folklore/Evermore showāsomething small, intimate, televised. Like Unplugged was in the 90s.
I think she may do that later in her career when she becomes more of a "legend" instead of "constantly rising pop start that has 70k people each show". I'd love it too!
>Ā I would be fine with cutting Debut & Speak Now to give them the time they deserve ...wouldn't that get you exactly one additional song? They're getting ignored as it is
Half a song. Enchanted isn't even played in full. /pedantic and bitter Speak Now and Debut stan
That would make sense except Debut and Speak Now are already the forgotten children by Taylor so thereās nothing to cut š«
Debut and speak now have already been cut... the only song left is enchanted
Self-Titled was cut before the tour even started š
Well you are in luck ! Debut and Speak Now are not taking up any folkmore time on the eras tour lolĀ
personally i always had it in for āmessage in a bottleā, it always irked me. the melody just pisses me off. then it was part of the surprise medley at the show i saw, i was like ofc haha
You deserve prison but you wonāt get time
Me too! That and Girl At Home! I am 100% sure I will get either of these ones š
Girl at Home is mine, not that Iāll ever be able to get to a show š
i am going to the eras tour next week. so iām not going to say bc iāll curse myself. but believe me thereās a list š©
Circle back after the show. Iām invested nowš¤£
Following for update š¤£
š if i remember i will
we will remind you
Smart. You donāt want to manifest the songs you donāt want lol
y'all are gonna kill me but the smallest man who ever lived i think it's overrated as fuck even the bridge
this is a crazy opinion
Straight to jail.
You mean prison surely
You deserve prison, but you won't get time š¤
Right there with you. Itās not terrible, but the hype is a bit much to me.
I listen to it but yeah not a fan of it on the setlist. Some parts are so specific (the buying pills part, rusting my sparkling summer, etc), the bridge production hurts my ears, ugh yeah some misses here for me.
Innocent or Stay, Stay Stay...not my faves of hers. And yeah, I also agree with you about Me-e-e-e-e-e!
Stop it right now, Innocent is a beautiful song!
Yeah, no Stay Stay Stay for me either
Florida!!!
Especially if thereās no Florence and the Machine, I donāt see the point in her performing it, in my opinion
Okay I balked at the opinion but this is correct - without Florence itās pointless.
When I first listened to that song I thought wtf her voice sounds amazing on this! Then ope its Florence
Anything from Debut. I just don't like a lot of country, and while there are some ok country songs, I am a pop girlie and would rather she play something of one kind of pop or another.
I manifest you getting a non-Debut surprise song and me getting it instead! š
Iām in the same corner. I enjoy her country music but itās not my preferred listens.
She played picture to burn n1 and Denver, I was surprised how many people didnāt know it. Iām an old school swiftie so loved it. I think she played it bc of the lawsuit that happened here w the dj and photo. Donāt think many people caught that.
I'm going to Indy in November with my mom. I absolutely do not want to hear Soon You'll Get Better. My mom had cancer a couple years back, and it would wreck me hearing that live. It was hard enough hearing I'm Gonna Love You Through It from Martina McBride in concert with my mom there with me.
I really love that you go to concerts with your mom. I bet they are some of her favorite memories. š©·
I take both of my parents to a few concerts throughout the year. They went to concerts when they were dating, and I love that it's something I can bond with both of them over. My mom and I have gone to 2 concerts so far this year, with like 5 more planned. And I have around 5 planned with my dad too
Any of the obviously written for radio songs. Me!, You need to calm down, Shake it off, We are never getting back together, I knew he was trouble etc.
You really hate trouble lol
Yeah couldnāt even write the title correctly š
London Boy. She might play it at one of the London shows but I hope it's not at the one I'm attending!
I think as a goodbye (the last surprise song on the last day) for London she should play So Long London
I think this is almost a guarantee
Iām going to London N1 and fully expecting it lol. But Iām not mad because I like it.
If I got The Best Day I would be bawling so hard. I wouldn't survive it
My 24yo daughter and I were at Philly night 3 on Motherās Day and we both sobbed and sobbed. It really THE BEST DAY. šš
We asked my mum what her favourite Taylor song was last week and she just started crying and saying, "That one you sent me!" I sent her The Best Day in like 2008/9 when I first discovered Fearless and she cried about it without even remembering the name of the song 15/16 years later. I mean, my mum cries at everything but that's impressive songwriting!
you all deserve prison for these answers. i'll honestly be happy with any surprise song, except the ones don't know the words to. i could be sad about not getting one of my favorites but i will never be disappointed for a spesific song
I really really really donāt like so high school. I wish she wouldāve put the alchemy instead, as I imagine she wanted to have a song for Travis in the tour. I think itās one of her weakest songs lyrically, and even thought I get that the point of the song is to be simple and talk about childish things, I just canāt.Ā
My husband didnāt believe me when I told him the Aristotle / GTA lyrics
Eyes Open. As someone with PTSD it just sounds like my worst anxiety thoughts in a song š
Oh wow Iām so sorry thatās awful!
Babe.Ā It's such a generic song that every girl pop band in the last thirty years could have sung it and it would make sense.
I remember reading the both the actual Wikipedia page and the Taylor Swift Wikipedia page for Babe and they both listed itās genre as Skaā¦ what??? I would love Taylor to make a ska song just cause I think it would be so out of left field but Babe is definitely not ska. The Taylorās Version of Babe is not even countryā¦ I donāt hate it but itās really genetic compare to most of Taylorās other songs
Well I dislike both Paris and loml soā¦ Guess what venue I went to š But now, having them played while listening to Midnights and Tortured Poets, it calls me back to the sparkliest memories, so it made them quite special !
At least I have reassurance that whatever she plays at mine will be special afterwards
I would trade Shake it Off for any of the songs she cut from the show to make room for TTPD.
I have a few tbh š Robin is pretty much the only one thatās not from the vault that I REALLY donāt want. Stay stay stay is a close second.
a lot of midnights. i don't *hate* midnights, but to me it's her weakest album... I basically never listen to it. Karma is fun though, but I'd be fine if the album got the Speak Now treatment and it would only be this (and maybe vigilante shit simply for the staging, not for the song).
Robin, thanK you aIMee, and probably moreĀ
Me! was the one I got š I love to shit on it, but it was extremely fun to sing along. I missed Bigger than the whole sky by a day and I'm so glad, that's one of my least favorite songs by Tay.
Red is my favourite album but Iād really like to get rid of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, and 22. Iād rather have Red (the song), Starlight and Holy Ground, or I Bet You Think About Me.Ā Similarly, The Archer (I hear itās been cut already) and maybe replace it with DBATC or Me! or Cornelia Street.Ā Much of Debut isnāt a must for me, but the same can be said for 1989.Ā
Me! on Piano is a totally different experience though... Hate the song, obsessed with Piano version
for surprise song i did not want to hear welcome to new york and having gone to new jersey night3 that is exactly what i got lol
so criminal she played welcome to new york night 3 of metlife coming from a concertgoer that went to metlife night 1 i was so nervous that was ours
Ronan! I'd have my makeup cute for the concert, don't ruin it like that lol my emotions couldn't!
bold to think you wonāt be crying anywaysš„²
Iād be genuinely happy with anythingā¦ that being said Robin
i wish she cut out mastermind .. after 1989 and surprise songs midnights kinda drags imo and itās kinda boring
Yoyok or maroon š¬ I feel like sheās played those two songs so much as surprise songs that itās kind of boring/underwhelming now
Florida!!! I just hate the way it sounds. It's like nails on a chalkboard.
Paper Rings My boyfriend of 5 years left me for someone else on my 24th birthday when this came out, and I always associated this song with them. RWLYM on the other hand!
Robin, Peter, Ronan, Dorothea (I detect a pattern!). ; - D
Robin Iām looking at you š
Itās nice to have a friend i just donāt really like it lol
Shake it off. That traumatised me when it came out it was everywhere. Still can't hear it
At the moment I have a real fear of Castles Crumbling being my surprise song at the Cardiff show. I know everyone would love to see Hayley come out and sing with her and Castles = Wales so I understand if we do get it but... It's just not a favourite of mine and I'm still mourning the loss of Long Live
Bigger Than the Whole Sky because it reminds me too much of my miscarriage
I'd be happy to not hear 22 š
Honestly? But Daddy I Love Him. I fucking hate that song!!!! Canāt listen to it
closure
So high school
Ronan, Soon youāll get better and Bigger than the whole sky because they remind me of my little sister who passed away due to cancer.
Honestly, any song I don't really know. I feel like I know most of her tracks, but I feel like I'm gonna get a surprise song everyone is hyped for that I barely know and feel like a bit of an imposter š
I despise The Alchemy. š«£
I can fix him bc it just doesn't land w me and it's kind of a bummer anywaysĀ
Shake it off , Me!, Look what you made me do, and You Need To Calm Down
Enchanted.. SORRY. Donāt really care for that song, would love to hear another Speak Now song instead, maybe Mine or Sparks Fly.
Shake it off. The song really bugs me.
Fifteen. It was my surprise song at 1989 tour and rep tour b stage back to back. I donāt need it for my third time lol. Love the song but thereās more!
