Taylor Swift will be making all the movie theaters shimmer this weekend.
If you’re reading this, you probably know all too well that that “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” – the film version of her blockbuster tour – is coming to theaters on Friday.
Since The Eras Tour didn’t stop in the D.C. area, this will be many fans’ first chance to show off their style, trade friendship bracelets and sing along with a crowd of Swifties. And yes, dancing is encouraged, at least at some theaters.
You can fill the blank space before or after seeing “The Eras Tour” at these parties and brunches in D.C., Maryland and Virginia.
