I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a huge Swiftie. I have fond memories of me listening to her songs, and having my friends sing along, too. I played ‘Fifteen’ when I turned 15, cried over my first heartbreak over ‘White Horse’, dedicated ‘Mean’ to the mean girls in my block, danced around to ‘New Romantics’ on my college bus. And when I turned 22–you guessed it–I belted my heart out to her song,‘22’.

Taylor Swift has always felt like an older sister to me. In every chapter of my life, she has a song about it. And during one of my biggest ones, my wedding last December, her songs made my special moments all the more memorable.

For Swiftie brides like me, here are some of her best songs that you can also incorporate into your wedding. Naturally, there are some of her popular ones, but beyond her chart-topping hits, there lies a collection of underrated melodies that can add a unique and romantic touch to your big day.

This night is sparkling, don’t you let it go
I’m wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

Picture this – a violin rendition of ‘Enchanted’ playing as you walk down the aisle, complementing a fairytale-inspired wedding. Its whimsical tune captures the magical feeling of falling in love.

I once believed love would be (Burning red)
But it’s golden
Like daylight

An instrumental version of ‘Daylight’ can create the perfect buildup as you make your grand entrance. Its serene melody sets a beautiful, hopeful tone for the ceremony.

Outside, they’re push and shoving
You’re in the kitchen humming
All that you ever wanted from me was sweet nothing

Walking down the aisle to a slower version of ‘Sweet Nothing’ feels like being wrapped in love. Its gentle rhythm is like the sweet, quiet moments shared between lovers.

Holdin’ my breath, slowly I said
“You don’t need to save me
But would you run away with me?”
Yes

This song is about finding a peaceful, happy love. Its calm tune is great for a relaxed walk down the aisle, feeling safe and content.

Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
I’m setting off, but not without my muse
No, not without you

For literature-loving brides, ‘The Lakes’ offers a gorgeous melody that echoes the romanticism of the English Lake District, adding a poetic touch to your ceremony. Its lyrical beauty and melodic tranquility create an atmosphere of timeless romance.

Don’t read the last page
But I stay when it’s hard or it’s wrong or we’re makin’ mistakes
I want your midnights
But I’ll be cleanin’ up bottles with you on New Year’s Day

If your wedding is around the New Year, this song is a match made in heaven. Its lyrics about enduring love and commitment make it a heartwarming choice for your first dance.

My heart’s been borrowed and yours has been blue
All’s well that ends well to end up with you

This list would not be complete without ‘Lover’. It’s the quintessential Swift wedding song, brimming with romantic, lifelong promises. The song’s waltz-like rhythm and heartfelt lyrics make it a timeless choice for couples as they sway to the rhythm of their forever.

And isn’t it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me?

This song beautifully captures the serendipity of finding your soulmate. It’s perfect for couples who feel fate played a role in their union.

Take me home where we met so many years before
We’ll rock our babies on the very front porch
After all this time, you and I

Ideal for childhood sweethearts, this song narrates a lifelong love story that started in youth, making it a sentimental choice for your first dance.

I like shiny things, but I’d marry you with paper rings
Uh huh, that’s right
You’re the one I want
I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this
Darling, you’re the one I want

For a more upbeat first dance, ‘Paper Rings’ is perfect. It’s a fun, lively tune that celebrates a love so strong, material things become insignificant.

Every dead-end street
Led you straight to me
Now you’re all I need
I’m so thankful for
All of the girls you loved before
But I love you more

This song reflects on past relationships with gratitude, recognizing how they shape us into the person we are in our current love.

And I know you could fall for a thousand kings
And hearts that could give you a diamond ring
When I fold, you see the best in me
The joker and the queen

While technically an Ed Sheeran song, Taylor Swift sings in it too. It’s about loving every part of someone, making it a deep and meaningful choice for a first dance.

You wanting me tonight feels impossible
But it’s comin’ down, no sound, it’s all around
Like snow on the beach

This duet with Lana Del Rey is like a fairy tale set to music, ideal for a dreamy, romantic first dance. Its ethereal sound and heartwarming lyrics create a magical atmosphere, perfect for a moment that feels like a fantasy come true.

Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine

This song tells a story of finding hope in love. It’s perfect for couples who have overcome skepticism or challenges in their relationship.

This love left a permanent mark
This love is glowing in the dark,
These hands had to let it go free, and
This love came back to me

For couples who have rekindled their romance, ‘This Love’ speaks of love’s enduring, cyclical nature. The song’s melancholic tune and introspective lyrics capture the richness and intricacy of a love that has survived hardships and grown stronger.

‘Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this
So, even in a different life, you still would’ve been mine
We would’ve been timeless

In this song, Taylor Swift sings about a love that’s meant to be, no matter what. It’s perfect for a first dance because it celebrates a deep, fate-driven love. The song’s dreamy melody and heartfelt lyrics make it ideal for a moment that feels truly destined.

Each of these Taylor Swift songs, with their heartfelt lyrics and melodies, can bring a unique, deeply personal element to your wedding day. Whether you’re walking down the aisle or sharing your first dance, let Swift’s poetic narratives and enchanting tunes underscore your love story.
