Zohran Mamdani shares his Taylor Swift playlist ahead of NYC wedding

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has shared a playlist of his favourite Taylor Swift songs as excitement continues to build ahead of the singer's reported wedding celebrations with Travis Kelce in New York City.

According to TheWrap, the playlist was published by The New York Times on Spotify and features 12 tracks spanning several eras of Swift's career. Among the selections are fan favourites including Love Story (Taylor's Version), Cruel Summer, Delicate and August, alongside deeper cuts such as Dress, I Know Places, My Tears Ricochet and Only the Young.

One notable feature of the playlist is Mamdani's preference for Swift's 2019 album Lover, with four songs from the record making the final selection: I Forgot That You Existed, Cruel Summer, I Think He Knows and London Boy. No other Taylor Swift album received as many entries on the mayor's list.

The playlist was released as New York prepares for Swift and Kelce's widely reported wedding celebrations at Madison Square Garden, which have attracted significant public attention in recent days. Reports indicate that the couple recently hosted a rehearsal dinner attended by family, friends and several high-profile guests.

Ahead of the wedding, Swift and Kelce also announced charitable donations totalling $26 million to organisations across the United States, including food banks, children's charities and educational programmes. Representatives for the couple said the contributions were intended to support communities in New York and other locations that hold personal significance for them.

The mayor's playlist has quickly gained attention online, with Swift fans discussing his selections as anticipation surrounding the couple's wedding weekend continues to grow.
