Orlando venue to host Taylor Swift album release party
New Taylor Swift debuts at the University of Florida
The University of Florida's Honors Program is offering a new course in the spring, "Musical Storytelling with Taylor Swift and Other Iconic Female Artists." The class, taught by Senior Lecturer Melina Jimenez, will spend 13 weeks diving into the "Anti-Hero" singer's discography, especially her songwriting, according to a course description on the university's website.
ORLANDO, Fla. - We're just days away from the release of Taylor Swift's highly anticipated new album, The Tortured Poets Department. An event planning company is going on tour to celebrate the new release – and Orlando Swifties will have a place to sing their hearts out come April 19.
The Grammy Award-winning songstress is set to release The Tortured Poets Department on April 19. Le Petite Fête is scheduled to host an album release party hours before the album drops and into the night.
