Graphics: The evolution of Taylor Swift’s music

Across her 16 albums, Taylor Swift has returned time and again to the idea of happily ever after. Several of her songs have alluded to marriage, including ones from her most recent album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” which debuted just before news of her engagement to Travis Kelce became public. Now, as the pop superstar prepares for her wife era, here’s a closer look at just how many of her songs reference matrimony. Few artists have chronicled the ups and downs of love as extensively as Swift. Over the course of nearly two decades, the singer’s music has traced the full arc of romance — from the excitement of new love and the sting of heartbreak to reflections on lasting commitment. Here’s a look at all the ways she alludes to marriage in her catalog. As reports began to surface that Madison Square Garden was likely going to be the venue for Swift and Kelce’s wedding, many online had one question: Why? After all, the pop superstar — who also has homes in Nashville and Rhode Island — and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end could get married anywhere. While we may never know exactly what drew the couple to the arena, those familiar with Swift and her music know that she holds a soft spot for New York City. Here are just a few of the city locations she’s mentioned in her music. (And yes, one of them is MSG.)
