Are you looking for a track to dedicate to someone special? Maybe a first dance tune for your wedding? Or perhaps you are in your feelings about your crush and just want to embrace the mood? Here are the 27 best Taylor Swift love songs to play for your lover:

1. Our Song

We all remember when this song came out in 2007. We heard the guitar start playing and reached for that volume knob to crank it up with the windows rolled down. It is nearly impossible to hate this track. The meaning behind Our Song is the real reason why we all love it. The singer shares the different sounds that form her and her lover’s song since they don’t have one. “Our song is the slamming screen door, Sneakin’ out late, tapping on your window.”

2. Paris

Have you ever been so in love with someone but you simply could not find the words to describe it? This song does about as good a job of describing those beautiful, manic thoughts we have as any track could. It shares those feelings as if you and your sweetheart were in the city of love, Paris. It tells a love that literally takes you away from reality. “I’m so in love that I might stop breathing, Drew a map on your bedroom ceiling.”

3. Mary’s Song (Oh My My My)

This song describes one of the most beautiful types of love, a kind we all hoped for at one point or another. A young love that blossomed from a lifelong friendship. We all knew that one couple in high school who was basically already married because they had been together since they were in kindergarten. We were always so jealous of them and how effortless it seemed.

So, if you were that couple planning your matrimony on the playground, this song is for you. “And our daddies used to joke about the two of us, Growing up and falling in love, And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes, And said, ‘oh my, my, my.’”

4. Invisible String

This song is one of our favorites! If you or someone you know has rekindled an old flame from high school later in life and discovered they were meant to be, then you will love this track. Sometimes in life, we meet the right person at the wrong time. Thankfully, fate ties us to our soulmate with an invisible string, so when we are ready, we can find each other. “And isn’t it just so pretty to think, All along there was some, Invisible string.”

5. I’m Only Me When I’m With You

This song is different from Taylor’s usual country style and has more of a country-rock beat. This classic track about a small-town boy and girl who are hopelessly in love with one another will completely melt you. It beautifully describes the natural comfort that you feel when you are with the right person, and you don’t have to be anyone else other than your genuine self. “And you know everything about me, You say you can’t live without me.”

6. Sweet Nothing

The best love is a love where we find ourselves wanting nothing more than what we have right then. If you are looking for a song about a simple but deep love, then this is it. Flowers and romantic dinners are nice and all, but at the end of the day, all we find ourselves wanting is to be greeted by our partner’s sweet nothings. “I find myself running home to your, Sweet nothings, Outside they’re push and shoving, You’re in the kitchen humming, All that you ever wanted from me was, Sweet nothing.”

7. Love Story

Ah, here we are. A classic love song about a forbidden love that ends with a happy ending. Romeo is downstairs throwing pebbles at Juliet’s window since her father forbids this young love. Of course, she sneaks out to escape from her life for a while with her Romeo. However, unlike Shakespeare’s version of Romeo And Juliet, this story actually has a happy ending! After persuading Juliet’s father, he proposed and they lived happily ever after. This track is dedicated to all of those perfect love stories out there. “Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.”

8. Fearless

This song is about falling in love fast and hard, as we all have at least once or twice. Everything feels completely magical. You are on top of the world with the best person right next to you holding your hand. How else could you describe that feeling other than Fearless? You can take on the entire world with that person by your side. “And I don’t know why, But with you I’d dance in a storm, In my best dress, Fearless.”

9. You Belong With Me

Have you ever been friends with someone and know that you two were just right for each other? Perhaps, one of you was always in a relationship with someone else, so the timing never worked out. We have all been there at least once. This song perfectly captures the frustration of being in love with someone who we believe to be unavailable. “All this time, How could you not know, baby? You belong with me.”

10. Today Was a Fairytale

You have probably heard this song if you’ve seen Valentine’s Day, and it still never gets old. We think of those perfect days with our significant other. Those moments when time seems to just slow down, and it feels like you are the only two people in the world. It’s hard to catch your breath, and you feel so overwhelmingly in love it is almost unbearable. “Can you feel this magic in the air? It must have been the way you kissed me.”

11. Gold Rush

Gold Rush captures the feeling of falling in love with someone you are trying so desperately not to fall in love with. That person that everyone wants to be with. Something most of us could never relate to. No matter how hard we try to resist the gold rush, sometimes we just jump in anyways. “Eyes like sinking ships, On waters so inviting, I almost jump in.”

12. Paper Rings

Hopefully, we all find a love so deep we would marry this person with only paper rings. This song describes what it feels like to love someone so hard and so deeply that nothing else matters. Engagement ring who? We would rather wake up every morning to see this person’s face than have all of the riches in the world. If you feel this way about your sweetheart, count yourself lucky and send this to your lover. “I like shiny things, but I’d marry you with paper rings.”

13. Hey Stephen

This song is perfect for confessing your love to someone special. Even more convenient if you happen to be in love with someone named Stephen. We have all hesitated to tell that special person how we feel about them, but in life, we miss all of the shots we don’t take. Sometimes, we just have to take the plunge before it is too late. “Come feel this magic I’ve been feeling since I met you.”

14. Lover

Lover is more about that really deep love we feel with a person when we are older. When you can see the rest of your life with this special someone, so no more nights in bed alone. This is about that forever kind of love. The one that encompasses your soul and makes you into the best version of yourself. If you play this track and think about someone special, consider yourself one of the lucky ones. “Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close forever and ever?”

15. Jump Then Fall

Remember those butterflies that you feel when you first start talking to someone new? Everything about them is exciting, and you are slowly realizing you are falling in love with that person. That is what this song is all about. It’s that scary feeling like we are possibly falling alone, so we hope with everything inside of our soul that this person is falling for us too. “Jump then fall into me.”

16. Call It What You Want

When the world is against you, your partner is always the person who should be there to pick you up when you are down. Taylor captures that kind of love and dedication in Call It What You Want. When she felt like she had no one, her lover was the one there for her and laughing alongside her while she rose from the ashes. True love isn’t about flowers and candy, it’s being loved when we feel we are at our worst. “My baby’s fly like a jet stream, High above the whole scene, Loves me like I’m brand new.”

17. That’s When

This is one of Taylor’s most beautiful and heartfelt songs. Sometimes, we need to take time for ourselves and have a break. We hope we can pick up where we left off when we are ready, and this track is about just that. It is about having someone special who patiently waits for you to be ready and welcomes you back with all the love in the world. The type of love and support we all crave in a partner. The lyrics go, “…that’s when, when I wake up in the mornin’, That’s when, when it’s sunny or stormin’.”

18. Mine

This song is about the best thing that ever happened to us. That’s right. Them. The person who walks into our life and eases all of our fears and worries. They make us believe in ourselves because they believe in us. They make us feel alive, and with this special someone by our side, we can conquer the world. “You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter, You are the best thing, that’s ever been mine.”

19. New Year’s Day

Love is not always easy. This song really brings the emotions that come with the hardships in life and relationships. Sometimes, our relationships become rocky, and the decision to either pull away or pull each other closer sits on the horizon. When we find that real unconditional love, the kind that lasts a lifetime, we choose to stay even in the times it becomes hard. That person is worth working through the rough patches. “I want your midnights, But I’ll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day.”

20. You Are in Love

The title of this song says it all: You Are In Love. This track shines a light on all of the little things you notice when you are truly and utterly in love, and with someone who is in love with you at that. These little gestures and small moments truly mean so much to us when coming from the right person. True love speaks much louder than we could ever explain, but Taylor got as close as anyone could get with this song. “You can see it with the lights out, lights out, You are in love, true love.”

21. Sparks Fly

Sometimes, a connection is so magnetic and intense, the only word we can use to describe that type of feeling is a “spark.” Most of us have felt that amazing chemistry at least once in our lives. While it may not always be true love, it is still truly exhilarating and deserves to be appreciated and enjoyed nonetheless. So, whether you are singing along with your soulmate, or having a hot summer fling, enjoy every moment! “Kiss me on the sidewalk, Take away the pain, ‘Cause I see, sparks fly, whenever you smile.”

22. Starlight

Two words: cosmic love. This song paints a picture of two young lovers dancing as if they were made of starlight. This kind of love eases all of your worries. When we are dancing away with our special someone and the rest of the world melts away. We feel one with the universe and allow ourselves to daydream and believe that anything could be possible. “And we were dancing, dancing, Like we’re made of starlight.”

23. King of My Heart

Another one of our favorites! Some of the best love creeps up on us when we least expect it. We finally accept that we will just be alone, and may even be content with that idea, but then there they come. Walking into our lives, ready to turn our entire world upside down and change everything for the better. Suddenly, we can’t imagine our lives without them. All at once, everything changes, and thank God it did. “And all at once, you’re all I want, I’ll never let you go, King of my heart, body and soul, ooh whoa.”

24. Enchanted

Another beautiful Taylor Swift song about new love! You ever meet someone in a chance encounter and simply can not stop thinking about them? Most of us have been there before. Of course, it could be absolutely nothing, but what if they are the love of our lives? The excitement of new possibilities just overtakes us. This track is about exactly that feeling. “This night is sparkling, don’t you let it go, I’m wonderstruck, blushing all the way home.”

25. Begin Again

Relationships are like cookies. Sometimes, you have to throw the first batch out and try again. We all know what it is like to get our hearts broken. It happens all too often nowadays. Sometimes, we find ourselves living with the trauma from past relationships, and we have to learn what it is like to actually be loved. This song is about healing from those past relationships and finally being loved in the ways we always wanted, and that we deserve. “I think it’s strange that you think I’m funny, ‘cause, He never did.”

26. Everything Has Changed

Sometimes, someone walks into our lives, and they change everything. We barely even know them, but it feels like we have known them our whole lives. Connections don’t always make sense to us, at least not on the surface. We call this love at first sight. Can we really love someone after just seeing them? Who really knows? What we do know is that we want to get to know everything there is to know about this person. “All I know since yesterday, Is everything has changed.”

27. Cornelia Street

Last but certainly not least, we have another Taylor Swift favorite! Cornelia Street is about loving someone so much you could not even stand the thought of losing them. Everything around makes you think of them. Losing this person would make everything feel meaningless. We have all experienced that fear of losing someone we love so much. So if there is someone in your life that you can not imagine losing, send them this track and make sure they know how you really feel. “Barefoot in the kitchen, Sacred new beginnings, That became my religion, listen.”
