Whether the below artists performed at their fellow celebsโ weddings (and many have, including John Legend at Kim Kardashian and Kanye Westโs nuptials; Ellie Goulding at Prince William and Kate Middletonโs wedding) or fansโ ceremonies (hi, Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift), one thingโs for sure: They are all about upping the romance factor, especially with their own to-die-for tunes.
