With her melodic love songs and semi-biographical lyrics, Taylor Swift’s tunes have inspired fans for around 15 years. From pop to country, you may think you’ve heard all of Swift’s music styles, but wow, do we have a treat for you.
On June 22 and July 21, Taylor Swift’s biggest hits will be getting the classical treatment at a Taylor Swift candlelight concert, performed right here in Manchester. What’s more, the enchanting Edgar Wood Victoria Park and magnificent Manchester Cathedral will be the locations for these events, and beautiful flickering candles will surround the live string quartet on each night. You won’t want to miss this, so snap up your tickets now!
From her 2008 single, Love Story, to the feel-good Shake It Off, the I Knew You Were Trouble artist has had many hits this side of the pond. As you listen to the talented string quartet play the recognisable tunes at the centuries-old venues, you’ll be able to reminisce on an impressive backlog of music. The setlist at these Taylor Swift candlelight concerts will include Blank Space, Cardigan, and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, amongst others.
Edgar Wood Victoria Park is a stunning Art Nouveau building, complete with internal arches and a fairytale-like exterior; Manchester Cathedral is Grade I-listed building, which dates back centuries. Both will look even more stunning by soft candlelight at these performances. The grand historic architecture of both buildings still remain, making for a fascinating backdrop to the quartet’s intimate 65-minute sets. To avoid Bad Blood between you and your fellow Swifties, nab a ticket for an incredible night of music here.
