Calling all Swifties! Every Saturday afternoon from March 23-May 18, the Springfield Museums will present 1989 Under the Stars, a new light and music show in the Seymour Planetarium set to “1989 – Taylor’s Version,” the top-selling album from Taylor Swift.  Planetarium shows are free for Museums members and $5 for visitors ages 8+ (in addition to museum admission).

“I am extremely excited to present a show featuring one of my favorites and one of the most popular artists of all time,” said Director of Science Jenny Powers. “I hope we will see new audiences to [the Seymour Planetarium] for the first time through Taylor’s music and the stunning visuals on our planetarium dome.

“Visitors can lean back in their chairs or stand up and dance as the Museums present highlights of Taylor Swift’s top-selling album,” she added.

According to Powers, “the shows will be filled with moving, swirling, kaleidoscopic light and color, combined with sweet melodious sounds that enter through our outer ears, hit our eardrums, jiggle the tiniest bones in our inner ears, with the stereocilia sending transmissions up to our brains to remind us what year Taylor Swift was born: 1989!”

And later this spring: Taylor Swift Music Nights in the Seymour Planetarium (Thursday, May 9 and Friday, May 10, 6-8pm).  Incredible images from the night sky presented on the Museums’ new full-dome Zeiss system, against the backdrop of Swift’s music on original vinyl. Limited seating; tickets are $10. Recommended for ages 12 and up. Co-presented with Spin That Records of Springfield.
