Can you imagine a more romantic first dance than Taylor Swift singing you “Blank Space” three feet away as you danced with your love? One lucky pair of Taylor Swift fans got that magical moment when Tay Tay dropped in for a surprise performance at their nuptials. Viewers watching at home said the new hubby and wife’s reaction in that moment is what really made the video the ultimate couple goals, though, as they stayed focused on each other the whole time as the megastar played right next to them.
Taylor is a dyed-in-the-wool romantic, and you can tell she loves this moment just as much as the couple and guests do. Aside from the sweet vibes, the performance is really special as we get to see the authentic Taylor Swift, with no production whatsoever. Just her and a keyboard. She crushes the performance, and the joy she feels playing for the couple really comes through in her voice. The Music Man has to say when the crowd starts singing along, the vibes are just immaculate.
Fan channel Duong Tien Anh uploaded the wedding performance to YouTube, where it hit 203,000 views. Viewers loved to see this moment Tay Tay shared with her fans, and added comments such as “She is the sweetest human being, no other celeb would do this. How can people hate her? Tay you are the best to your fans” and “The couple are both jamming and having fun with each other. Not even paying attention to Taylor. Goals!”
Taylor Swift has quite the storied career as a wedding singer. She went viral for singing at her mega fan’s engagement party in a small pub. For this performance, she presented the couple and a small group of their friends and family with a solo acoustic performance of “King of My Heart.” This kind of solo Taylor performance is just so special, especially with the ecstatic couple right there watching.
The Music Man readers might note that “Blank Space” was a bit of a strange choice for a wedding song. The tune was picked by the couple themselves, and it seems to be their favorite jam, judging by how enthusiastically they sing it. However, the tune itself is actually more of a satire than a romance song. This is because it is Taylor’s clever clapback against certain parts of the media and netizens who accused her of being an incurable serial dater and man-eater. Taylor touches on this contrast with a lighthearted comment during the wedding performance, saying, “When I wrote this song I never imagined in my life that I would be asked to play it at a wedding, I just want to make it clear.” She then mentioned that the song choice was picked by the couple, and that she was more than happy to make their wish come true.
