Places around the world referenced in Taylor Swift's music that you can actually visit
From dive bars in NYC to kebab shops in London, there are a bunch of places around the globe that Taylor Swift has frequented, name-dropped in songs, or chosen as a backdrop for her music videos.
Read through to see all of the Swift-approved places that you can visit.
Big Sur, California
The region of Big Sur on the coast of California is very much entrenched in Taylor Swift lore.
Over the last 14 years, she's brought multiple romantic partners here on holiday.
Big Sur, California
Back in 2010, Swift was spotted cosying up with her then-boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal at the Post Ranch Inn, having breakfast then lounging by the pool.

Then in 2014, Swift and her bestie Karlie Kloss took a road trip through Big Sur, which they documented with a ton of photos on Instagram.
They talked about the trip in their joint Vogue interview.
Big Sur, California
In 2018, Swift was once again in Big Sur, where she posed for a photo with fans.
It's believed her then-boyfriend Joe Alwyn was there with her, too.
Big Sur, California
In April 2024, Swift was once again spotted at Big Sur, this time in the town of Carmel.
She reportedly was there on a romantic getaway with boyfriend Travis Kelce - the pair also had dinner with Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper while in town.
Lovers of Today, NYC
Swift's 2017 song Delicate, which details the beginning of her relationship with Alwyn, opens with the lines: "Dive bar on the east side, where you at."
It didn't take fans long to figure out that the bar she was referring to was New York City's Lovers of Today.
Staff and patrons spotted the couple there multiple times in 2016 at the onset of their relationship.
Cornelia Street, NYC
While her Tribeca apartment was being renovated, Swift rented a place on Cornelia Street, in NYC's West Village.
Though it's no longer her residence, fans have flocked to the apartment, thanks mostly to the track Cornelia Street on her 2019 album Lover.
An official sign with the lyrics "and I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends" was even erected on the street sign.
Bluebird Cafe, Nashville
The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville holds a very important place in Swiftie history. It's where a young Swift was first discovered, back in 2004.
Then 14-year-old Swift performed a few songs in front of an audience including Scott Borchetta, who quickly signed her to his new record label.
The Bull & Gate Hotel, London
In Kentish Town, London, sits an unassuming pub called the Bull & Gate.
If you head upstairs, things might look familiar: it's where Swift filmed her video clip for the song End Game.
