The Tampa Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) is getting its Swiftie on, with a new laser music show featuring some of pop sensation Taylor Swift’s biggest hits.
Laser Taylor Swift will be shown May 15, with a laser light show at 6:30 p.m. coordinated with tunes from all of Swift’s eras. The event will debut MOSI’s all-new Saunders Planetarium & Digital Dome Theater, which is the second-largest planetarium in the U.S.
Appropriate for all ages, elaborate laser visuals will be synced with songs from various stages of Swift’s musical career, from “You Belong with Me” to “Cruel Summer.”
“As a father of two teenage daughters, I’ve witnessed the magic of Taylor Swift’s music lighting up a car ride, a living room dance party, even an entire stadium,” MOSI President and CEO John Graydon Smith said.
“Now imagine that energy exploding across the night sky in lasers, lights, and surround sound in our digital dome theater. This isn’t just a show — it’s a shared experience for Swifties of all ages, and we can’t wait to welcome fans to sing, dance, and celebrate together under the stars.”
Before the laser music show begins, the program includes a 10-minute live, guided star show exploring the night sky in real time. Guests are encouraged to don their favorite Swift swag and sing, dance and sparkle along with other Swifties.
Guests can arrive early to enjoy a bite of BBQ from the on-site Station House or a drink from the full bar, though food and drinks must be consumed outside the planetarium.
Gates to the show open at MOSI at 5:30 p.m., with theater doors opening at 6:10 and the show beginning at 6:30. The show runs for one hour, until 7:30.
Songs featured include “Shake it Off,” “Anti-Hero,” “Blank Space” and more.
Tickets are on sale now, but are limited and expected to sell out. Tickets are $10 each, or $8 for MOSI members.
Future laser music shows are also in the works featuring songs from Queen and Pink Floyd, with dates to be announced soon.
