Invisible String is a song by singer-songwriter extraordinaire Taylor Swift from her eighth studio album, Folklore, which she released in 2020. The romantic lyrics are about how fate brings two soulmates together, referring to specific moments from their lives. For book lovers, it holds references to the literature classics Jane Eyre and The Sun Also Rises.

With Taylor's lyrics having a poetic flow, we think the song's beautiful chorus and bridge make for a meaningful wedding ceremony reading. We've even created a useful and pretty print and go download of this poem below for all you Swifties out there.

Ceremony Reading: An excerpt from Invisible String by Taylor Swift

Time, curious time — Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs
Were there clues I didn’t see?
And isn’t it just so pretty to think, all along there was some invisible string tying you to me?

Time, mystical time — cutting me open, then healing me fine
Were there clues I didn’t see?
And isn’t it just so pretty to think, all along there was some invisible string tying you to me?

A string that pulled me out of all the wrong arms right into that dive bar
Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire
Chains around my demons, wool to brave the seasons
One single thread of gold tied me to you

Time, wondrous time — gave me the blues and then purple pink skies
And it’s cool, baby, with me
And isn’t it just so pretty to think, all along there was some invisible string tying you to me?
