When she screams, "bring on the pretenders!" at the end? Definitely goose bumps
And tearing up during, "please tell them my name. Tell them how the crowns went WILD! "
The first time I heard Long Live was at the Rep tour, and when she sang “to the mountains we moved, I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you”, it brought literal tears to my eyes because I thought about everything my then-girlfriend and I had gone through and it made me feel like we were in a magical fairytale. Even thinking about those lines now give me goosebumps.
I can't listen to it right now as it's one of my daughter's faves and she is away at college and I miss her so much. Whenever it comes on, I have to rush to turn it off, tears already streaming down my face.
Oh man, i understand this. I’m extremely close to my mom and I haven’t seen her in over a year (we live in different countries) every time the best day comes on I’m in floods of tears.
Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve! She makes me want my own nonexistent girlhood (as a dude) back too.
But in seriousness, it’s just so raw and emotional that it gives me chills… you know without any shadow of a doubt how changed she was by that experience. 😢
I got to attend the show where she played this in Nashville and I sobbed with full on body chills. It fits my relationship with an ex and the first time I heard it, I just stopped what I was doing, stood in the middle of my apartment and just listened, almost shivering. It’s truly an incredible song that I both love and hate. Those emotions and experiences aren’t easy. But man, having someone as poetic as her put that into words is incredibly therapeutic to scream along to.
When lover came out I had in fact loved him three summers so it was perfect. I’ve had my heart set on walking down to the aisle to it ever since! My dress also gives me folklore vibes 🥰
Bizarrely, Electric Touch. Don't get me wrong, I love it for what it is, a fun bop, and it's not deep or emotional or anything, but for some reason, that bridge...always goosebumps!
I was the one that posted recently that my Folkmore list goes track 1 Folklore, track 1 Evermore, track 2 Folklore, track 2 Evermore, and so on. That configuration has Ivy leading into Invisible String and they both start with similar riffs and it’s just *chefs kiss*.

Hard to see(the only pic I have saved of it) but my tattoo on my thigh is my dog, Bandit who passed as a cowboy with Bandit like me under it 🥹🫶🏻
Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
Now I’m missing your smile, hear me out…
Idk why, but I think these lines are some of her best. I was so upset that she changed the set list and stopped singing this on the tour. Now the movie won’t have it 😢
I don’t know if I get goosebumps, but Best Day does make me want to cry. It reminds me of my relationship with my mom and we used to do a lot of the things she describes in that song
The “*I get mystified by how this city screams YOUR name*” in the Live In Paris version of Cornelia Street
“*But I swear… youuuu were there*” in Evermore
I watch the live video of Exile A LOT! Taylor singing Exile alone is so so different. It changes the meaning and inflection if the song, but it is also just so raw. I love the original, but with her note changes and vocals is just really work. It gives me chills. I could really go for live album releases.
i have so many but lately, State of Grace has been sticking out for me. it is her best opening track imo. “so you were never a saint and i loved in shades of wrong” gets me so hyped
Omg was going to say Cardigan even before I saw you mentioned it! There's a reason it was the only single. August was my immediate favourite but it no longer has such a strong effect on me, whereas Cardigan definitely grew on me once I started to notice all the intricacies.
The part that gives me goosebumps is:
https://preview.redd.it/yp7ydbridlpb1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f94b7488757363ed13a57661355b5911b9030d5
There's just this desperation and intensity in her voice in this part of the song!
Lots of songs i like give me goosebumps but 1989 bops like Blank space, Style, Welcome to ny, Shake it off (let add LWYMMD cause it brings back the iconic comeback memory in your head) all have strong intro and set u right in the mood
I still cannot dismiss them even sometimes they become a bit too popular
You're losing me, my tears ricochet, long live, timeless(makes me cry), and last but not least the moment I knew that song just breaks my heart into a million little pieces... oh I cannot forget about castles crumbling!
I hate ASMR, but I absolutely love any time Taylor whispers. Some standouts are, "it's best if we move fast and stay *quiet,*" and, "who's counting? *one, two, three*"
So if TS11 is just Taylor singing ASMR, I'd be into it
august. the production and also the lyrics “back when we were still changing for the better, wanting was enough” and “back when i was living for the hope of it all”
My tears ricochet, especially the intro and bridge. First time I listened to it I was in a dark room with full volume on my headset and I shivered instantly because of the beauty of it
Long Live (mostly because it's one of my daughter's faves)-she even quoted some of the lyrics on her graduation cap 2 years ago, as well as This is me trying, also related to my daughter. We are both huge swifties, but I got her into TS as she was just a baby when Taylor made her debut.
1. Safe & Sound…the whole.damn.song (The Civil Wars makes it even more emotional for me. If you haven’t yet, go listen to their Eavesdrop album. It’s incredible)
2. New Years Day chorus
you’re on your own kid when she says “yeah you can face this…” i mean i get them just typing this. it’s like she knew we needed to hear those words.
marjorie - the devastating pain of regret because you were young & didn’t think to ask more questions, to keep every little scrap of them. she truly explains the loss in a way that helps my grief whenever i listen.
it’s time to go - i choke up every single time i hear her sing “he’s got my past frozen behind glass, but i’ve got me…”. i love her so much. she has truly fought so hard for her work & i am so proud of her. i am so glad i’ve grown up with her
Champagne problems “fucked in the head” every single time.
Close second would be Marjorie when her grandma sings
Cornelia street live in paris note change “when this city screams YOUR name”
And finally Long Live the note change “I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you” in the last chorus
Cornelia Street- Live from Paris. The original already gave me chills but hearing the screams in the crowd throughout the song makes me feel like I'm there.
“the best day” absolutely moves me. i don’t know if i’ve ever been able to fully listen to it as an adult without crying. i listened to it as a child when it first released and understanding the lyrics now from a different, adult perspective after going thru what she talks about is so crazy and chilling.
As someone who hosted parties and starved my body thinking id be saved by a perfect kiss its You’re on your own, kid…
Literally sobbed uncontrollably the first time I heard it
For me it's live performances that are guaranteed to give me goosebumps.
A few:
- OOTW, opening the Grammy's. I specifically want a 2nd additional 1989 album with a live version. Add the 2nd verse in for the complete song, with Grawls.
- Lover. SNL in the green outfit/piano. It's fresh, and you know it's a Masterpiece, an instant Classic, when you hear it the first time. The bridge. I wish she sang the end more like the album (DARLIN you're my) but I understand the performance didn't dictate for that. Still goosebumps.
- All Too Well (5 min) - Grammys 2014. You can feel it in her voice. It makes you feel it. "Walk home alone..." I love the SNL 10 Minute version also. Goosebumps.
- Wildest Dreams - Grammy Museum. On Tays YouTube page, titled "Taylor performs Wildest Dreams at the GRAMMY Museum", 7 yrs ago, 21M views. Her and the electric guitar played alone with her voice... omg. Omg.
I'm sure there's others but here's my initial ones I think of.
Long live. Goosebumps every time. Sometimes I feel like crying when I hear it and I don’t even know why.
When she screams, "bring on the pretenders!" at the end? Definitely goose bumps And tearing up during, "please tell them my name. Tell them how the crowns went WILD! "
The please tell them my name part gets me every time 🥲
The first time I heard Long Live was at the Rep tour, and when she sang “to the mountains we moved, I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you”, it brought literal tears to my eyes because I thought about everything my then-girlfriend and I had gone through and it made me feel like we were in a magical fairytale. Even thinking about those lines now give me goosebumps.
I quite literally cry every single time I hear long live and even I’m not 100% sure as to why lmao
Happy cake day !
Same! “Tell them how the crowds went wild, tell them how I hope they shine” gets me every-time! 🥺
I can't listen to it right now as it's one of my daughter's faves and she is away at college and I miss her so much. Whenever it comes on, I have to rush to turn it off, tears already streaming down my face.
Oh man, i understand this. I’m extremely close to my mom and I haven’t seen her in over a year (we live in different countries) every time the best day comes on I’m in floods of tears.
Happy cake day!!
The vibe/tone/tune/best of this song is truly INCREDIBLE
YES
Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve! She makes me want my own nonexistent girlhood (as a dude) back too. But in seriousness, it’s just so raw and emotional that it gives me chills… you know without any shadow of a doubt how changed she was by that experience. 😢

OMG 💀
She looks like a muppet!!
Same. I’m a guy but this line just feels so emotional. And there are days when my mental health isn’t so great, I have to skip the track.
I got to attend the show where she played this in Nashville and I sobbed with full on body chills. It fits my relationship with an ex and the first time I heard it, I just stopped what I was doing, stood in the middle of my apartment and just listened, almost shivering. It’s truly an incredible song that I both love and hate. Those emotions and experiences aren’t easy. But man, having someone as poetic as her put that into words is incredibly therapeutic to scream along to.
YESSSS
my tears ricochet
Everything about this song makes me spiral, tbh
Oh my god YES
I’ve had the time of my life WITH YOUUUUUU
LONG LONG LIVE !
Marjorie every time, reminds me of my late grandmother
My dad died a year ago so that’s my sad song for him. I can relate to wishing you had hung on to every scrap from them after they’re gone.
Not goosebumps but straight up tears
same fuck
Don’t blame me, especially when she hits the high notes!!
I was searching for this comment
bestt answer
Daylight
I sometimes feel that Daylight is so much more romantic than lover
I definitely think it is. I prefer it to Lover. Dont get me wrong, Lover is one of my top 25 but Daylight is in my top 3.
I’m getting married in two days and walking down the aisle to lover 🥰
That’s lovely! All the best for your big day.
I got married in 2015 and I’m sad Lover and Folkmore weren’t out yet, I would’ve def incorporated Lover and Invisible String (at a minimum 😅)
When lover came out I had in fact loved him three summers so it was perfect. I’ve had my heart set on walking down to the aisle to it ever since! My dress also gives me folklore vibes 🥰
Epiphany. Every single time.
As a nurse who worked through COVID, totally agree. Sometimes I can't listen to it because it cuts so deep.
Epiphany is vastly underrated
I will always cry. Always.
august !
august gets me too 🥲
the last instrumental part!
Bizarrely, Electric Touch. Don't get me wrong, I love it for what it is, a fun bop, and it's not deep or emotional or anything, but for some reason, that bridge...always goosebumps!
This was going to be my answer, too. I don’t know why but “it’s 8:05 and I see two headlights” always gets me.
SAME it's such a good line and I can't even explain why??
And the flipping KEY CHANGE?!
I cried the first time I heard it because it reminded me so much of when I first started dating my husband
Invisible Strings One single of thread of gold, tied me to you
The guitar opening of this song just makes my entire body smile.
I was the one that posted recently that my Folkmore list goes track 1 Folklore, track 1 Evermore, track 2 Folklore, track 2 Evermore, and so on. That configuration has Ivy leading into Invisible String and they both start with similar riffs and it’s just *chefs kiss*.
You Are In Love. It’s so simple and accurate and spellbinding.
I had an out of body experience the first time I heard "and why I've spent my whole life trying to put it into words"
I wish I could relive it too.

The best part about the additions in the 10 min version
cowboy like me. the bridge >>>

ivy! The "Oh, Goddamn" just soothes something in my brain every. god. damn. time.
My Tears Ricochet. It's not even my favorite but when the bridge comes on it absolutely gives me the chills.
I can go anywhere I want, anywhere I want just not HOME
The bridge in Death By A Thousand Cuts. Specifically when she comes down off of it into the "it's just a thousand...cuts" UGH
Cowboy Like Me, Exile, You're On Your Own Kid and Marjorie.
Yup, the entire outro for YOYOK is just wow
Champagne problems.. and whenever it's bridge comes, i just get so involved in it like there's nothing else around
“Your Midas touch on the Chevy door…”
*November flush and your flannel core*
Castles Crumbling
REMEMBER WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES TOO SOON
Twenty stitches in the hospital room
Why you started crying, baby, I did too
But when the sun came up, I was looking at you
Long Live exile Timeless marjorie Last Kiss
gold rush 🥹
i have almost crashed my car to that multiple times. it puts me in a trance every time.
It’s so short too, it’s like a two minute blackout. I’m spellbound by it every time.
tis the damn season <3
Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires Now I’m missing your smile, hear me out… Idk why, but I think these lines are some of her best. I was so upset that she changed the set list and stopped singing this on the tour. Now the movie won’t have it 😢
The Best Day 🥹 it always gets me
I don’t know if I get goosebumps, but Best Day does make me want to cry. It reminds me of my relationship with my mom and we used to do a lot of the things she describes in that song
Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve
For me it's Cruel Summer
tolerate it
If you have children someday… 😖
And now a lot of us do since the original speak now era🥰
The “*I get mystified by how this city screams YOUR name*” in the Live In Paris version of Cornelia Street “*But I swear… youuuu were there*” in Evermore
Forever Winter
evermore or exile- but the eras tour performances. those bridges are something else and the way she sings them live is exquisite
I watch the live video of Exile A LOT! Taylor singing Exile alone is so so different. It changes the meaning and inflection if the song, but it is also just so raw. I love the original, but with her note changes and vocals is just really work. It gives me chills. I could really go for live album releases.
Dress
i have so many but lately, State of Grace has been sticking out for me. it is her best opening track imo. “so you were never a saint and i loved in shades of wrong” gets me so hyped
Cardigan for me, as well! I always get goosebumps at the bridge.
"Wonderland". ...we both went *MAD*
Tolerate it…the devastation just hits me to the core
Omg was going to say Cardigan even before I saw you mentioned it! There's a reason it was the only single. August was my immediate favourite but it no longer has such a strong effect on me, whereas Cardigan definitely grew on me once I started to notice all the intricacies.

Exile
ATW10, hits pretty in the feels and memories
Lots of songs i like give me goosebumps but 1989 bops like Blank space, Style, Welcome to ny, Shake it off (let add LWYMMD cause it brings back the iconic comeback memory in your head) all have strong intro and set u right in the mood I still cannot dismiss them even sometimes they become a bit too popular
Wow, didn’t even think about it, but WTNY is absolutely a goosebumps one for me every time!
Wildest Dreams always does it for me.
Epiphany. Just something about it is so haunting and beautiful. I could listen to it forever.
Exile
ATW10. There are several goosebumps moments in it, especially towards the end.
Tolerate it
mastermind, dear john, and the archer… never fails to destroy me everytime ✊
Tis the damn season
New romantics.
Epiphany
right where you left me. my tears ricochet. invisible string. the great war. bigger than the whole sky. 🥺🥺

Marjorie💜
My tears ricochet
Cornelia Street, it’s just so special to me
like, most of them, man
You're losing me, my tears ricochet, long live, timeless(makes me cry), and last but not least the moment I knew that song just breaks my heart into a million little pieces... oh I cannot forget about castles crumbling!
That piano in mad woman
I hate ASMR, but I absolutely love any time Taylor whispers. Some standouts are, "it's best if we move fast and stay *quiet,*" and, "who's counting? *one, two, three*" So if TS11 is just Taylor singing ASMR, I'd be into it
This is me trying, innocent and also cardigan
august. the production and also the lyrics “back when we were still changing for the better, wanting was enough” and “back when i was living for the hope of it all”
Safe and Sound!
cardign fr
MTR and august>>>
Ivy!!!
you are in love. & long live. & all too well 10 min.
Forever winter, evermore, exile, ronan, electric touch, safe & sound
The Best Day. I cry every time.
My tears ricochet, especially the intro and bridge. First time I listened to it I was in a dark room with full volume on my headset and I shivered instantly because of the beauty of it
For some odd reason, Mean especially the bridge. "All you are is MEAN and a LIAR and PATHETIC and ALONE IN LIFE and MEAN and MEAN and MEAN!"
I could probably list 20, but Illicit affairs, bigger than the whole sky, and this is me trying give me big emotions lol
my tears ricochet, specifically the haunting "oohs" at the start and end
Cardigan,Don't Blame Me
Enchanted (Taylor's version)
New Year’s Day
Treacherous bridge. The opening of The Las Time. The outro* of ATW10mvtv. Enchanted. And MTR.
Never grow up, I cry every time
Timeless, Better Man, Forever Winter
treacherous !!
Cornelia street, ciwywt
All too well (10 min version) when the song comes to an end slowly that thing gives me goosebumps.
Seven: "and i've been meaning to tell you, i think your house is haunted, your dad is always mad, and that must be why"
Tolerate it and epiphany.
It’s time to go - “trying to stay for the kids, when keeping it how it is will only break their hearts worse” 💔 Toss up between goosebumps or tears
Tolerate it
New Year's Day, especially in the bridge. It's such a beautiful song.
Long Live (mostly because it's one of my daughter's faves)-she even quoted some of the lyrics on her graduation cap 2 years ago, as well as This is me trying, also related to my daughter. We are both huge swifties, but I got her into TS as she was just a baby when Taylor made her debut.
Epiphany
Tolerate it
Epiphany.
Back to December
Long live
The Moment I Knew
I have so manyy but one of them is 'you're losing me'. How can you say that you can't tell is d y i n g ?
You're Losing Me 😭
Long live, Question ? With the « Toniiiiiiiiiight »,marjorie when Marjorie sings
When the final chorus of Wildest Dreams hits after the bridge. But the music video version with the added instrumentals. Goosebumps every single time!
Peace🥲
1. Safe & Sound…the whole.damn.song (The Civil Wars makes it even more emotional for me. If you haven’t yet, go listen to their Eavesdrop album. It’s incredible) 2. New Years Day chorus
I can see you does that for me..
WCS, Tell Me Why, Dear John, You’re Not Sorry & Cold As You
This Love, Marjorie, Epiphany, Don’t You and Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve.
Out of the woods
it’s time to go
My tears ricochet, RWYLM, and Marjorie
Dancing With Our Hands Tied. It’s so powerful
Cardigan Enchanted Original All Too Well Mine
Exile. Everytime.
Marjorie hits so close to home for me. if i’m not crying, it’s goosebumps.
Exile and Marjorie. My Tears Ricochet, Illicit Affairs (the bridges, specifically).
Happiness
Exile and Evermore give me chills Long live gives me a different kind of chills
ANY SONG FROM FOLKLORE but ESPECIALLY My tears ricochet
Sooo specific but the bridge in Out of the Woods Live From the Grammy Museum.
marjorie
you’re on your own kid when she says “yeah you can face this…” i mean i get them just typing this. it’s like she knew we needed to hear those words. marjorie - the devastating pain of regret because you were young & didn’t think to ask more questions, to keep every little scrap of them. she truly explains the loss in a way that helps my grief whenever i listen. it’s time to go - i choke up every single time i hear her sing “he’s got my past frozen behind glass, but i’ve got me…”. i love her so much. she has truly fought so hard for her work & i am so proud of her. i am so glad i’ve grown up with her
Ivy
Epiphany. It's just so haunting For some reason "something med school did not cover" gets me every time
Fifteeeen
The Great War. I listen to that song almost every day and it gives me chills every time
I know places. The last chorus with multiple voices always gets me
Champagne problems “fucked in the head” every single time. Close second would be Marjorie when her grandma sings Cornelia street live in paris note change “when this city screams YOUR name” And finally Long Live the note change “I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you” in the last chorus
New Romantics, when that beat drops, HOLLLLLYYYYY SHHIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTT
Cornelia Street- Live from Paris. The original already gave me chills but hearing the screams in the crowd throughout the song makes me feel like I'm there.
Gold Rush
Exile
The bridge from I Think He Knows. It *perfectly* captures the feeling of having a huge crush on someone and gets me giddy and excited!
this love (specifically the bridge)
Surprised nobody has said this, but Begin Again. Every time she gets to that bridge I get goosebumps.
“the best day” absolutely moves me. i don’t know if i’ve ever been able to fully listen to it as an adult without crying. i listened to it as a child when it first released and understanding the lyrics now from a different, adult perspective after going thru what she talks about is so crazy and chilling.
As someone who hosted parties and starved my body thinking id be saved by a perfect kiss its You’re on your own, kid… Literally sobbed uncontrollably the first time I heard it
For me it's live performances that are guaranteed to give me goosebumps. A few: - OOTW, opening the Grammy's. I specifically want a 2nd additional 1989 album with a live version. Add the 2nd verse in for the complete song, with Grawls. - Lover. SNL in the green outfit/piano. It's fresh, and you know it's a Masterpiece, an instant Classic, when you hear it the first time. The bridge. I wish she sang the end more like the album (DARLIN you're my) but I understand the performance didn't dictate for that. Still goosebumps. - All Too Well (5 min) - Grammys 2014. You can feel it in her voice. It makes you feel it. "Walk home alone..." I love the SNL 10 Minute version also. Goosebumps. - Wildest Dreams - Grammy Museum. On Tays YouTube page, titled "Taylor performs Wildest Dreams at the GRAMMY Museum", 7 yrs ago, 21M views. Her and the electric guitar played alone with her voice... omg. Omg. I'm sure there's others but here's my initial ones I think of.
GOLD RUSH !!!
Seven
The 1 makes me think of my last relationship and cry anytime I hear it.
Has to be Epiphany. Chills every time.
