Chicago's historic Theater on the Lake will transform into a wintery wonderland as Burning Red takes you on a journey through ALL 12 of Taylor's iconic eras, including a musical stop at her Christmas Tree Farm!

Burning Red: The UNOFFICIAL Tribute to Taylor Swift is the Ultimate Live Band Taylor Sing-Along Party! A show BY Swifties and FOR Swifties, Burning Red plays the hits and fan favorites from every single Taylor era so you can Shake it Off to the songs you know All Too Well. Grab your friends and capture those photos in screaming color in our free Swiftie-themed photobooth. Take the moment and taste it with a Taylor-inspired cocktail and mocktail menu! A night with Burning Red will leave you wonderstruck all the way home.
