[2025] Recommended for Weddings! A Collection of Classic Songs by Female Western Artists

Love StoryTaylor Swift

Taylor Swift – Love Story

Taylor Swift burst onto the scene as a rising star in country music, then transitioned into pop with a broader musical palette, and has since remained at the forefront of the music world as one of America’s defining singer-songwriters.

Her 2022 release, Midnights, recorded explosive sales and sparked a phenomenon in which its tracks occupied the entire top 10 of the Billboard chart, a result that powerfully attested to her immense popularity.

While Taylor has released many massive hits drawn from her own romantic experiences—including numerous sharp-tongued breakup songs—the track we’re featuring today, Love Story, is quintessentially Taylor: a bright, poppy love song that likens the relationship of two lovers to the tale of Romeo and Juliet.

The narrative is told entirely from the heroine—Juliet’s—perspective, before switching to the male, Romeo’s, point of view at the end, a brilliant structural touch.

It’s a song with a happy ending, so be sure to play it at that perfect moment during your wedding!
