“Wildest Dreams” (2015)

Following 1989's original high-octane power-pop, "Wildest Dreams," released in August 2015, was a welcome departure into calmer seas. Taylor was at her most seductive in the ethereal dream-pop ballad, which was featured in an Out Of Africa-inspired video co-starring Scott Eastwood. It became her first song to top the Billboard dance radio charts in remixed form, illustrating that the best Taylor Smith tracks can easily carry her into new terrain.
