Lyrics

Walkin' through a crowd, the village is aglow

Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats

Everybody here wanted somethin' more

Searchin' for a sound we hadn't heard before

And it said

Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' for you

Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' for you

Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

It's a new soundtrack, I could dance to this beat, beat forevermore

The lights are so bright, but they never blind me, me

Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' for you

Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

When we first dropped our bags on apartment floors

Took our broken hearts, put them in a drawer

Everybody here was someone else before

And you can want who you want

Boys and boys and girls and girls

Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' for you

Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' for you

Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

It's a new soundtrack, I could dance to this beat, beat forevermore

The lights are so bright, but they never blind me, me

Welcome to New York (New York), it's been waitin' for you

Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

Like any great love, it keeps you guessing

Like any real love, it's ever-changing

Like any true love, it drives you crazy

But you know you wouldn't change anything, anything, anything

Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' for you

Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' for you

Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

It's a new soundtrack, I could dance to this beat

The lights are so bright, but they never blind me

Welcome to New York (new soundtrack), it's been waitin' for you

Welcome to New York (the lights are so bright but they never blind me)

Welcome to New York (so bright, they never blind me)

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

welcome to new york is the first track on taylor swift's 5th studio album. it's about taylor's big move to new york city and what it was like for her to explore a new city. it also represents moving on and focusing on the positives. 


overall rating : 9/10

bridge rating : 10/10

thoughts : i might sound a little cheesy saying this but when I went to new york city last year, i played this song when the city was in view, lol. this song is one of the best first track taylor has put out there. it puts out the message that we've entered a new era, a new sound. i love everything about this song and cannot express that enough. it pretty much sets the stage for 1989 and i think we were all there for that. it's also a straight bop! it's pretty much impossible to listen to this song without singing along, dancing and/or having your own concert moment!!

favorite lyric(s): 

"𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬, 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐞𝐫"

"𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐳𝐲"




i hope you all had a great valentine's with your stunningly hot dates lol 😚
