Taylor Swift‘s fans have kept busy trying to decode every lyric in her recently released album, "Lover."
The pop superstar’s latest studio release (her seventh) has been a massive success since the moment it dropped on August 23. One of the most talked-about tracks is "Cornelia Street," an emotional love song where Swift sings about the early days of a relationship and being unable to walk the titular street ever again if the romance were to end.
As it turns out, the song’s meaning is fairly straightforward — Swift did rent a home on the Greenwich Village street back in 2016. And — perhaps unsurprisingly, to anyone who has an idea about the singer’s real estate portfolio — the property is spectacular.
Keep reading for a closer look at 23 Cornelia Street and for more information about the song’s connection to it.

"’I rent a place on Cornelia Street,’ I say casually in the car," Swift sings in the first verse — and it’s pretty literal. The pop superstar did rent 23 Cornelia Street for a few months between 2016 and 2017, according to People.
