Taylor is engaged!
Raise your hand if you're excited about America's royal wedding coming up! (Eeek!)
One thing about Taylor, the girl can write a romantic, lovey-dovey song. We frequently play Taylor Swift songs at weddings for just that reason! Not only are they sweet songs, but they usually translate really well to strings. (Dare I say, they might sound even better on strings! Not that I'm biased, haha) Below are my personal favorite Taylor Swift songs for weddings! This is not an exhaustive list, of course. She's got a huge library of music! But these are the best-of-the-best in my opinion. #1: Wildest Dreams
This is an EASY #1 pick for me. I just never get tired of playing this song! It's fun yet romantic, it's got some really dice dynamic peaks and valleys, plus it's really catchy! I will never say no to playing this song. Click below to hear our version!
#2: Invisible String
#2 might be an unexpected choice, but I LOVE "Invisible String." It's got some really fun parts to play, and I also love the idea behind the lyrics--that we are connected to the people we love by an invisible string. Time can pass, we can be in different places, but still our hearts are connected by an invisible string.

Ok, "Love Story" has to be near the top of my list if for nothing else--pure nostalgia! This might have been one of the first Taylor Swift songs that I really heard (and it immediately got stuck in my head!) This is a great choice for a wedding, not just because it's sweet and the lyrics are wedding-y, but because everyone recognizes it immediately! This is a great choice for a recessional because it's a bit more upbeat than some of the other songs on this list.

I'll be honest, I somehow hadn't heard this song until a bride requested it a few years ago, but it quickly became one of my favorite songs to play. All of the sweeping melodies are so fun to play on violin. You just have to take my word for it!

Finishing off my list at #5 is Lover. A sweet song with really cute lyrics.
Honorable mention: Daylight
I have to have an honorable mention on this list, and that goes to the song "Daylight." Definitely a bit more unexpected, but as you'd expect, it's a sweet and flirty song.
I hope this list gives you song song ideas for your upcoming wedding! If you need any help choosing the songs for your wedding, don't hesitate to reach out! I am always available to help, and I'm nothing if not opiniated (haha!)
