Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a> once proudly declared that New York was waiting for Us<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Swift has been candid about her love for the bustling city throughout her career. Her album, 1989, was inspired by her 2014 move from Nashville to New York City, so much so that the opening track was aptly named \u201cWelcome to New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI really like my life right now \u2026 I love the album I made,\u201d she recalled to Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a> in September 2014. \u201cI love that I moved to New York. So in terms of being happy, I\u2019ve never been closer to that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The song was such a big hit that New York City named Swift as an official Global Welcome Ambassador for the city. That wasn\u2019t the only time Swift has shown love for her adopted home. She\u2019s continued to refer to various landmarks in several of her songs.<\/p>\n

The Chelsea Hotel<\/h3>\n

Swift referenced the iconic New York City hotel on the titular track of The Tortured Poets Department<\/em><\/a>.

The Chelsea Hotel is situated in the heart of the Chelsea neighborhood in Manhattan. The building itself has a Queen Anne revival and Victorian Gothic architecture style. In addition to being a landmark for Swift, The Chelsea Hotel is also on the National Register of Historic Places.<\/p>\n

Cornelia Street<\/h3>\n

The Grammy winner has a special place in her heart for the charming street in the West Village neighborhood. Swift loved the spot so much that she wrote a song about it on her Lover<\/em> album. In the song, Swift recalled falling in love with former boyfriend Joe Alwyn<\/strong> while living at her former abode.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends \/ I\u2019d never walk Cornelia Street again \/ That\u2019s the kinda heartbreak time could never mend \/ I\u2019d never walk Cornelia Street again,\u201d she sings \u201cAnd baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name \/ And baby, I\u2019m so terrified of if you ever walk away \/ I\u2019d never walk Cornelia Street again.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Swift and Alwyn broke up after six years of dating, that doesn\u2019t mean you shouldn\u2019t pay your respects to the iconic Swiftie landmark.<\/p>\n
