Swifties Found a "Cornelia Street" Easter Egg in 'Marvel's Spider-Man' Video Game
Even gamers are not free from Swifties. An eagle-eyed fan spotted that Cornelia Street intersects with 13th Street in 'Marvel's Spider-Man.'
Swifties are far and wide — even in your favorite video games. Though the Taylor Swift fanbase would possibly not have a massive overlap with video game enthusiasts, there are a handful of players who are also avid fans of the famous person (I, myself, am one in all them).
Though other artists like Halsey and Travis Scott have made vital contributions to the gaming global, it is an industry that Taylor has urged pretty transparent from. But that doesn't imply her fans have not left a few Easter eggs of their very own in the back of.
All in regards to the Cornelia Street Easter egg in 'Marvel's Spider-Man.'
In a video posted via Taylor Selby (@jtselbyy on TikTok), she asked her husband to search out Cornelia Street in Marvel's Spider-Man on PlayStation— simplest to search out a subtle Taylor Swift Easter egg in the method.
Marvel's Spider-Man game takes place in Manhattan, Spider-Man's canon place of origin. For those who haven't played the PlayStation exclusive but, the identify follows Peter Parker's venture to take down Mister Negative before he's taking regulate of the felony underworld rampant in New York City.
Because of this, it could be affordable to suspect that Cornelia Street is a location avid gamers can visit in the game. The Manhattan street is understood for the home Taylor lived in, and is the topic of the heartfelt track "Cornelia Street" from her 7th studio album "Lover."
In her music, Taylor directed her partner to discuss with the popular street, handiest to find that Cornelia Street intersected with 13th Street — and any Swiftie is aware of that 13 is Taylor's lucky quantity (and a not unusual Easter egg she leaves for fanatics).
"Whoever made this game is a Swiftie," the TikToker captioned the put up. "It's not even geographically accurate and yet there's a corner of 13th and Cornelia Street."
Before leaping to conclusions that this is simply a twist of fate, Cornelia Street doesn't in truth intersect with thirteenth Street in Manhattan. Instead, the street is bracketed by means of Bleeker Street on one finish and the Fourth Street and Sixth Ave intersection on the different.
What different explanation why would a developer have for making such a transparent geographical blunder if not to leave a subtle clue in their love for Taylor Swift?
Of route, the video quickly went viral on TikTok, incomes more than a million perspectives as of this writing. The feedback are crammed now not with notes from lovers of the Spder-Man games (even supposing the sequel is slated to come out this year); as an alternative, Swifties are rejoicing on the little Easter egg — and it's even convincing a few of them to pick out up the title.
"My Marvel Swiftie heart loves this," one viewer commented, whilst every other wrote "13th and Cornelia? Yeah one of the devs is [for sure] a Swiftie."
The in-game Cornelia Street if truth be told isn't located in the same position it is in actual life (when you did not already accumulate it from the fictitious intersection) — however the TikToker kindly confirmed avid gamers where in Marvel's Spider-Man the Swiftie intersection is. It's in truth about four blocks northwest of the Washington Square Arch, so you will have to perform a little searching to search out this Easter egg.
"Were the traffic lights saying 'I don't know'?" another joked in the comments, referencing "Death by a Thousand Cuts" from the same album.
Since she and longtime boyfriend Joe Alwyn appear to have split, Taylor would possibly never stroll Cornelia Street once more — however Spider-Man players can be ceaselessly visiting this locale in-game.
