Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's first dance song: a symphony of speculation and celebration. From Stevie Nicks' 'Landslide' to Foreigner's 'I Want to Know What Love Is', the possibilities are as endless as Swift's musical tastes. But what will it be? A classic love ballad, a country twang, or something entirely unexpected? Let's explore the contenders and the stories they weave.
Stevie Nicks' 'Landslide' is a safe bet, with her presence at the wedding. It's a song that speaks to the drama and beauty of Swift's journey. Paul McCartney's 'Maybe I'm Amazed' is a romantic choice, given Swift's fascination with the 1970s McCartney-Linda love story. Kenny Chesney's 'You Had Me From Hello' is a fitting tribute to their love story, even if it's a bit too country for a first dance.
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's 'It's Your Love' is a perfect blend of country and pop, and a nod to Swift's recent embrace of her country roots. Ed Sheeran's 'Thinking Out Loud' is a sweet melody, but it's a bit too predictable. Lana Del Rey's 'Young and Beautiful' is a cinematic choice, but it might be too slow for a first dance.
Taylor Swift's 'Mary's Song (Oh My My My)' is a prophetic choice, with its line 'I'll be 87, you'll be 89' mirroring Travis' uniform number and Swift's album '1989'. But it's a tricky one, as the bride might struggle to sing while dancing.
A new Taylor original, 'Something New', is a wild card. It's a soft, finger-plucked song that no one recognizes until Swift's familiar voice comes in, swelling with the beauty of the 'Eldest Daughter' bridge and the hopeful feeling of 'Begin Again'. It's a go-big-or-go-home choice, but one that would leave the guests in awe.
Finally, Foreigner's 'I Want to Know What Love Is' is a classic rock choice, but it's a bit too generic. It's a public plea that Swift might not accept, but it's a fun idea to consider. From Stevie Nicks to Foreigner, the first dance song is a symphony of speculation and celebration, and the perfect choice will be a reflection of Swift and Kelce's love story.
