In the lyrics to “The 1,” a track off her 2020 pandemic-era album “Folklore,” Swift sings, “We were something, weren't we? Pink flows with the family of your choice. Gorman mentions her “chosen family” while sharing “a few things (she's) learned in 2024,” as she explained in the caption of her post.

“Joy is medicine. Grace is a beautiful gift that we don't give ourselves enough of. Don't sweat the small stuff, you have life to enjoy. Generosity not only lifts someone else up, it magically lifts you up as well.

We are capable of much more than we can imagine. Strength and endurance is the result of discomfort and hard work,” she wrote, adding, “My chosen family is pretty awesome.”

After teasing how “TikTok'' is 'useful for travel plans', she also works in another Swift lyric, saying she's 'loved beyond my wildest dreams'.

“Traveling is a spiritual experience, you learn a lot about yourself. A safe, vulnerable place to express yourself is a privilege. Not everything can be fixed.. and that's okay. Every day is a new opportunity to be your best self, to choose grace, to choose joy, to choose love,” she concluded. “To more love in 2025.”

Three weeks ago, Gorman wrote an adorable birthday tribute to the “Love Story” singer, along with a photo from The Eras Tour of the two of them laughing on stage. “To the girl whose heart shines through everything and everyone. You light a fire when you perform and leave such a beautiful glowing ember in every city you touch because of who you are,” she wrote in the caption.

“And not only was I blessed with a front row seat, but a little bit of your spotlight that you so generously shined on me and everyone else on stage… I will never take that kind of love for granted,” she continued. , continuing to write, “You've given so much of yourself this year, I hope you just get all the love today and that it feels like the biggest hug ever. I also hope it has something to do with putting your poor feet up.

She ended the post by writing: “Happy birthday my sweet friend @taylorswift. I love you to karma and back,” working in yet another Swift lyric.

A year earlier, in December 2023, she shared a TikTok video montage highlighting The Eras Tour in a post that accompanied the singer's hit song, “It's Nice to Be a Friend.” In the caption, she again praised the singer's “heart and generosity.”

“How can I even find the words?! Taylor, what a friend you have been to me this year. Your heart and generosity is beyond BEYOND. And just when I thought you DID IT, you DID IT! What a person you have been YEAR!!” she captioned the video.

“I am amazed at your persistence, your passion not only for your work but for the things you believe in, and just your ability to lead the pack with so much joy, love and passion. Loving you more and more with every laugh, hug and hip shake. Cheers, my friend!” she added. “I hope this next year somehow beats the last! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!”

Now that the Eras tour is over, Gorman looked back fondly on her memories in a Dec. 21 post. The video featured various highlights from the record-breaking tour, all set to her song 'New Year's Day'.

“This experience has been more than just a tour for me, more than just a show,” she wrote. “These people I can call family, the love we feel on stage and off… 'us' will be the only 'us' we will ever be on this beautiful, grueling, record-breaking, joy-filled tour of a lifetime. in length.”

She later called the tour a “blessing” and ended her post by captioning another Taylor Swift song: “Long live the magic that was #TheErasTour … holding on to the memories with all my might. I hope I never forget.”
