Taylor Swift names her favorite song and reminisces about singing the anthem before a 76ers game at age 12

Taylor Swift, the 36-year-old singer-songwriter, revisited a nostalgic moment from her childhood when she sang the national anthem at an NBA game in Philadelphia. The event took place on April 5, 2002, when Swift was just 12 years old. In a recent appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," Swift reminisced about that moment, comparing it to another iconic outfit she wore during her Eras Tour – a sparkly Versace bodysuit that gave her superpowers.

The memory of the duster cardigan and red headband over her blonde hair brought back feelings of invincibility. Whenever Swift puts on the sparkly outfit, even with illness or pain, she feels empowered to perform. This sentiment echoed through her Eras Tour, where she battled physical pain but still delivered captivating performances.

Swift's appearance also touched on more recent events in her life, including reacquiring the master recordings of her music and her engagement to Travis Kelce. However, when asked to list her five favorite songs from her discography, Swift initially had trouble narrowing it down. The two songs she did mention were "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" and "mirrorball" from her 2020 album "Folklore."

I'm loving T-Swift's nostalgic vibes right now She's always been someone who can tap into those feel-good memories and turn them into iconic moments. I mean, who wouldn't want to be invincible on stage wearing a sparkly Versace bodysuit? It's no surprise she was able to power through physical pain during her Eras Tour - that woman is a total rockstar! And can we talk about how amazing it is that she got those master recordings back? Total vindication for artists everywhere

Taylor Swift is like a superhero to me! Her ability to turn back time and relive memories, even in the simplest moments like singing the national anthem at an NBA game when she was just 12 . It's amazing how music can evoke such strong emotions and feelings of invincibility . I've heard that sparkly Versace bodysuit gives her superpowers ! Can you imagine rocking a bodysuit and still slaying the stage with chronic pain or illness? She's an inspiration, not just for young artists but for anyone who's ever felt like giving up. Swifties will be thrilled to hear she's sharing more stories from behind the scenes

I'm not sure about this sparkly Versace bodysuit business... sounds like a bit of a marketing ploy to me . I mean, Taylor Swift is a multi-platinum selling artist, she doesn't need some fancy outfit to give her superpowers . And what's with the nostalgia trip? It's just a national anthem performance from 2002... . Still, gotta respect that she still rocks it (literally) all these years later . Those master recordings she reacquired are gonna be interesting to see how that plays out, though .

I'm kinda surprised she's still reminiscing about that old gig at the NBA game... I mean, don't get me wrong, it's cute how nostalgic she is, but can't she focus on making music now? And what's up with the Eras Tour being all about her "superpowers"? Like, come on, we know you're human and stuff. Anyway, I'm more of a fan of her 2020 album, "Folklore" - it's like she took some risks and tried something new. I can appreciate that more than those two songs she mentioned... they're okay, but not my fave. And btw, Travis Kelce?

I'm not buying the whole 'sparkly outfit gives superpowers' vibe, tbh . I mean, Taylor's still putting on a show, even with illness or pain – that takes skill, but also a lot of practice and hard work. It's cool that she has memories like singing the national anthem at 12, though! That's definitely something to look up to. But, let's be real, it sounds like her sparkly outfit is more about her confidence and stage presence than actual magic .

I'm thinking, if Taylor Swift is feeling invincible in a sparkly outfit, that's kinda like what politicians do when they're campaigning - try to give the people superpowers with their promises . But here's the thing, just like how Swift battled physical pain on stage, politicians have to deal with the pain of public scrutiny and criticism all the time . And let's be real, if a 12-year-old Taylor can rock that duster cardigan and red headband like it's nothing, maybe politicians should take notes from her on how to express themselves confidently . Anyway, I'm curious, would reacquiring master recordings be like winning a battle back in office?

Taylor's nostalgia is giving me all the feels! I mean, who wouldn't wanna feel invincible in a sparkly Versace bodysuit? And I'm loving how she's owning her music and master recordings – girl's getting back what's hers!
