Best Taylor Swift Remixes

As most artists do, Taylor Swift often turns to prominent DJs and producers, and sometimes her fellow pop stars, to create remixes of her singles. Ed Sheeran, R3hab, Seeb, Shawn Mendes, Clean Bandit, Elvira, Bleachers, LP Giobbi and The Chainsmokers are among those tapped to turn Swift’s work into something new.

Alternate versions of her tracks like “Everything Has Changed” from Red; “Wildest Dreams” from 1989; “Delicate” from Reputation; “You Need to Calm Down,” “Lover” and “Cruel Summer” all from Lover; “willow” from evermore; “Love Story (Taylor’s Version)” from Fearless (Taylor’s Version); “Anti-Hero” and “Lavender Haze” from Midnights; “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” from The Tortured Poets Department; and “The Fate of Ophelia” from The Life of a Showgirl are perfect, whether your dance floor is at the club, in your living room or at a wedding reception. (Of course, we give deference to Swift’s talents on her initial works – otherwise, these remixes wouldn’t exist.)

Technically, both “Bad Blood” featuring Kendrick Lamar and “Karma” featuring Ice Spice could be considered remixes, but their official titles don’t reflect that. (And while “Anti-Hero” featuring Bleachers is listed, its inclusion on the Anti-Hero Remix EP makes it acceptable.) And we’re also not considering any pop or radio versions – of which Swift has many.
