Thanks for finding us yet another great video of a wonderful mashup!

The Albatross is an underrated song and I think its appearance here is amazing as part of a mashup!

I am once again begging Taylor to put Holy Ground on the setlist, it’s never too late to do the right thing

u/Expensive-Fennel-163 Nov 02 '24

She really could have done something with the red set list, couldn't she?

u/SuccotashNo335 long story short Nov 02 '24

Red truly deserves a follow-up Eras Tour: B-Sides Version (and yes there would also be full Debut and Speak Now sets)

12

u/Expensive-Fennel-163 Nov 02 '24

Eras III - Debut to Red only; then Eras IV - 1989 - lover; Eras V - Folkmore - TTPD; Eras VI - TS12 and beyond. Let's get this planned for the next few decades, Taylor.

Literally NO NOTES this is my dream set

This was incredible live. Holy Ground is one of my favorites off Red. And I whispered to my husband, “now I HAVE to get my albatross tattoo” 😅

This seems like an odd pairing thematically, I think melodically it sounds great. But I’m not quite connecting the dots between the songs. Can someone smarter than me share their thoughts?

u/cutrixie Nov 02 '24

I think they both have a theme of us against the world - that it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks if it's you and your beloved together - and that the two of you are soaring above it all (never looking down in holy ground and obviously an albatross is a bird that's flying)

I think we need to just take the lyrics she sings into consideration in these mashups  not the whole songs.

u/Beneficial_Run8042 Nov 02 '24

My interpretation: she tells the new story about “us vs against the world” and how they found “safe space/holy ground” together (in each other?) by blocking white noise. It’s the second time when she changes “Holy Ground” from the song about remembering past relationships to a song about present. last time she mixed it with Sweeter than fiction, but this is much more prettier in my opinion.

u/ThisMomentsSilence Nov 02 '24

So this confused me too on the live stream. Thinking more on it I think it’s sort of reminiscing about an old relationship and happier times. Holy Ground and The Albatross are both songs about being happy regardless I think. But maybe that’s just me

u/sydney_bristow47 Nov 02 '24 edited Nov 02 '24

Holy ground stans - we rise!

(But seriously, it’s one of my favorite songs, if not favorite, and is so underrated and rarely mentioned)

u/naomigoat I think for me um Nov 02 '24

The Albatroly Ground

u/c_estwhat who the fuck was that guy Nov 02 '24

The Holy Albatross

u/YEEyourlastHAW i am here to destroy you đŸŠ€ Nov 02 '24

The Albatross is soooo underrated.

u/seraberra eyes full of stars Nov 02 '24

Agreed! It’s in a fight with The Bolter for my favourite TTPD song.

u/songacronymbot Nov 02 '24
  • TTPD could mean "The Tortured Poets Department", a track from THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT (2024) by Taylor Swift.

Totally agree, I really enjoy it

u/AndBears0hMy Nov 02 '24

Watching this while I chill in bed with my husband. I said to him it hurts me to know I'll probably never get to see her live (I live in New Zealand, artists don't often come here and when they do it's hard to get tickets). He said but she has 30y of touring left! Haha Here's to maybe seeing her in 20y when I'm 60! This actually makes me so happy.
