Expect to hear Taylor Swift at a lot of weddings next year.

The big picture: Nearly half (46%) of couples tying the knot in 2026 say they'll play her songs during their weddings, according to Zola's survey.

19% plan to walk down the aisle to her music, and 6% will use it for their first dance.

State of play: A remix of Swift's 2019 hit "Lover" ranked among Spotify's 10 most popular first dance songs in 2024.

The latest: Online publication Brides has curated a playlist of 36 wedding-ready Swift tracks, from serene "Sweet Nothing" to boppy "I Think He Knows."

It's too soon to know which songs from her new album, "The Life of a Showgirl," will make it down the aisle.
