Taylor Swift’s fourth rerecorded album drops Friday. These area bars are celebrating in “Style.”
In a year that has been dominated by Taylor Swift news, the past few weeks have felt particularly packed — herThe 2014 album that brought us pop hits like “Blank Space” and “Bad Blood” is back Friday, and with it comes Taylor look-alike contests, Swiftie karaoke and a whole lot of glittery drinks. Here’s how to celebrate around D.C. this week.
It’s not the Capitol Hill whiskey bar’s first party in honor of Taylor’s rerecords — in July, Barrel was one of the first to offer a midnight listening of “Speak Now.” Then it planned the free party in its basement, but demand for tickets was so high that the party spread to both floors. This time, Barrel is charging for tickets that include one Taylor-themed cocktail, a friendship bracelet and a Polaroid to take home, vis-à-vis the album’s original cover. The needle drops at midnight.
The Columbia Heights haunt is inviting you to kick off your Halloweekend not with a costume party, but with a tribute. Listen to “1989 ” while drinking Taylor-inspired cocktail specials. Halloween can wait — “1989” only comes around, well, twice.? Vitis gives us a hint: “Bubbly never goes out of style.” The Union Market wine and spirits shop is hosting a tasting event, featuring wines it says
should pair well with a deep dive into “1989 .” The album will, of course, be playing, and a life-size cardboard version of Taylor herself will be in attendance. The ticket fee will apply to any in-store purchase. A Taylor Swift look-alike and costume contest is the main attraction at this Arlington beer hall’s “1989 ” celebration, where you can also expect Taylor-themed karaoke and cocktails. The event falls on Saturday, so take advantage of the day’s) — but the Pug is combining its Halloween party with a celebration of “1989 ” anyway. The H Street NE bar, whose soundtrack is usually punk and go-go, was one of the earliest in D.C.
