“Cornelia Street,” the ninth track on Taylor Swift’s seventh studio album, “Lover,” makes reference to a West Village apartment she had rented in New York City.
The Lyrics go like this:
And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends
I’d never walk Cornelia Street again
That’s the kind of heartbreak time could never mend
I’d never walk Cornelia Street again
The song hit #57 on the US Billboard Charts. And the West Village apartment that inspired that song can be yours for a mere $45,000 per month!
According to People, the pop icon rented 23 Cornelia Street between 2016 and 2017.
The previous owner that rented the property to Swift said, “The converted 1912 carriage house is situated in Manhattan’s West Village neighborhood in New York City and offered security for the singer. Most of the windows face into the backyard, and there’s a massive garage that allowed her to come and go in a vehicle without being seen”
Cornelia Street is just one block long which makes for a handy pilgrimage site for Swifties who want to soak up some of Taylor’s essence. And as luck may have it, it’s available for rent in January 2023. Who’s in?
