“There’s a song that I wrote on this album alone and um, I wrote this song actually like while I was in a bathtub. So, anyway… just for context. But a lot of the time I’ll write songs about like nostalgia and a lot of memories - I like to go back over memories. It’s almost like I use songs almost like photographs so that I can go back and remember a time and remember exactly what it was like to experience it. And um, this is definitely one of those nostalgic ones.”
- Taylor Swift, about Cornelia Street
