""I feel like this is Taylor's wedding era," said Denise Lillie, a wedding planner based in Sunnyvale. "If you're millennial, if you're Gen Z, you might be getting married. And you've grown up with Taylor Swift, you may be in your wedding era.""
"One song, called "Wi$h Li$t," especially rings true to Li Sam as she listens to the gentle, quiet acoustic version: "I just want you, yeah / Have a couple kids, got the whole block lookin' like you.""
""We're kinda going through the same stages of life," Li Sam said. "But obviously [Swift's] life is so different than mine." "Maybe it's the hormones speaking, but yeah, I feel like I did really resonate with that," Li Sam said. "It's words that actually speak to me as I'm now in my 30s.""
Many couples incorporate Taylor Swift songs into wedding ceremonies, using her music for entrances and emotional moments. Wedding planners observe a growing "wedding era" among millennials and Gen Z who grew up with Swift. The Life of a Showgirl combines dance tracks and ballads that suit both celebratory and intimate parts of ceremonies. Fans in their 30s connect with lyrics about marriage, family and life stages, and some view desires for marriage and children as personal rather than politically conservative. Acoustic versions and specific songs like "Wi$h Li$t" strike particular emotional resonance during life transitions.
