I am a Swifite. Ever since Taylor Swift came out with her Red album, I’ve been a fan and when she came here on tour to promote it, I was sad that I didn’t have enough money in my name to afford a ticket. I tried my luck getting a ticket from the Cornetto ice cream cones but was not successful. I hoped I could catch her in concert down the line but Philippines isn’t part of her Eras Tour. At least she released Eras Tour film for us fans who won’t be going to her live concert. After watching it, I can say damn, I’m even more sorry that I’m missing her concert again and I will die of jealousy from my friends who will be watching her live. Well anyway, I thought I’d just share my favorite Taylor Swift songs from the Eras Tour film.
Enchanted
This is one of my favorite Taylor Swift songs from her album, Speak Now. I love listening to this song because it reminds me of the feeling of the first blush of romance. It’s when your eyes meet from across the room and he smiles at you and you suddenly feel the butterflies in your tummy. And just as Taylor sings in this song, you hope his heart doesn’t belong to someone else so you can have the possibility of being together. I sure miss that feeling.
Look What You Made Do
This was her lead song for her Reputation album. It came during the time her reputation was under fire. The most notorious of which was her rift with Kim and Kanye West. I love how angsty and edgy this song is. It’s like telling your naysayers you might have caused me damage but I’m not going down without a fight. Here are some more facts about this song.
Karma
Do you believe in karma? Like Taylor, I do too. In this song, Taylor sings about karma being on her side. It’s a happy song about believing that when you do good things in life, you’ll be rewarded with good things too. When I’m feeling happy about how my life is going, this song plays in my head.
Lavender Haze
Another one of my faves! Like Enchanted, this is a happy love song. It’s about being in love and in a relationship, in that particular phase when it’s still so new – the honeymoon stage. When you just want to be in that happy place, feeling the love glow with your beau. I sure want to be in this state again.
All Too Well (10-minute version)
And of course, this is my all-time favorite song from Taylor Swift from her album, Red. It’s one of the most heartwrenching songs I’ve ever heard. It’s about a love that starts so wonderfully that you even start to think this might be it. And then as it turns out, it wasn’t going to work out in the end. I know she wrote this song for Jake Gyllenhaal, when she dated him and we all know that love story didn’t end too well. This was my top 1 song in my 2023 Spotify Wrapped because I listened to it so darn much last year. It was a very sad year for me, in terms of my love life. This song spoke to me so much.
Bonus: Long Live
Okay, so this wasn’t really in the film. But it was the song that played during the end credits. This song is really about Swift being grateful for her success, a tribute to her fans, her success, and her journey in the music industry. I’m no successful pop star but when I listen to this song, it also makes me look back to the wonderful and memorable moments of my life and it makes me smile as I feel grateful.
Stream Eras Tour the Concert Film
My Swiftie friends and I watched Eras Tour Concert film at Estancia Mall because it wasn’t as crowded as the other movie houses. It was such an amazing experience with Swifties singing along to Taytay’s songs. Yep, it’s not your usual movie experience where you’re expected to be quiet while the film is played.
Didn’t catch Eras Tour film in cinemas? Good news! Eras Tour is coming to Disney+! I read it will also debut the song “Cardigan” and four other songs. Can’t wait to watch it again! Save the date, it’s coming on March 15.
