Darci Lynne Farmer may have stolen America’s heart as a ventriloquist prodigy on America’s Got Talent, but her talent goes far beyond puppets. In August 2020, Darci posted a video on Facebook where she sang Taylor Swift’s hit song “Love Story.” She added a sweet caption that said, “Taylor Swift has my heart ❤️,” and fans couldn’t get enough of it.
“Love Story” is one of Taylor Swift’s most popular songs. It first came out in 2008 on her album Fearless and quickly became a favorite for many people. The song is a story of a couple facing challenges but finding their happy ending—a much better outcome than the sad tale of Romeo and Juliet. In 2021, Taylor re-recorded the song, and it became a hit all over again, climbing to the top of the “Country Music” charts.
Taylor once shared where the idea for “Love Story” came from. She said it was inspired by her teenage years when her parents didn’t like a boy she wanted to date. Feeling upset, Taylor went to her room and wrote the song on the floor. “Songs happen in really weird, strange, quirky ways,” she said. It’s easy to relate to that—we’ve all had moments when we needed to express how we felt.
Taylor has also talked about how her view of love has changed. She explained that while some of her songs are about believing in a perfect love story, others show the harder, more real side of love. This mix of dreams and reality is one of the reasons so many people connect with her music.
For Darci, singing Taylor’s songs seems to come naturally. She has performed other Taylor hits, like “Picture to Burn” and “Lover,” showing off her incredible singing skills. It’s clear that Darci has a real love for Taylor’s music.
Darci Lynne is more than a ventriloquist—she’s a rising star. Whether she’s making people laugh with her puppets or singing a Taylor Swift cover, Darci is proving that she’s a talented entertainer with a bright future ahead.
