WARNING: SPOILERS are ahead for the Eras Tour.

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, to quote the woman herself: “You’re a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town,” though the town is a metaphor for my brain, you know? In other words, I can’t stop thinking about my experience witnessing this behemoth of a concert. I actually feel like calling it a “concert” at all just doesn’t feel right because Ms. Swift delivered on three and a half hours of what felt like a Broadway performance, a bejeweled magic trick and a nonlinear time travel journey through her nearly 20-year career, all wrapped into one night. Suffice to say, it was a life-changer of an event that is going to change the way I look at some of Taylor Swift’s music for a long time.

I specifically attended Night One of her record-breaking six-night stint at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California -- you know, the one that had even more celebrity sightings than usual. As I’ve been going about my life post-Eras Tour, I’ve legitimately had so many moments where my brain will send me back to that evening. But, I want to talk about the handful of songs in particular that I’ve been hearing in a whole new light since I was lucky enough to attend the show.
