Tampa is about to light up in a way you’ve never seen before. Get ready for an unforgettable night as Taylor Swift takes center stage in a completely new way. The Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI) in Tampa is hosting an exclusive one-night-only laser show tribute to the pop icon. On Thursday, May 15, 2025, fans will be transported into a magical world of sound, lights, and lasers that will perfectly capture the essence of every era of Taylor Swift’s music.
A Laser-Powered Experience
The show will unfold at the stunning Saunders Planetarium & Digital Dome Theatre, which happens to be the second-largest planetarium in the country. This dome theatre isn’t just any ordinary venue—it’s a giant, eight-story-tall screen that wraps images around you on a 10,000-square-foot curved surface. As the lasers flicker and dance to the beat of Taylor’s hits, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into her very own music video, but on a galactic scale.
The show will take you through Taylor’s entire music catalog, from her early country days to her more recent synth-pop hits. You’ll be shaking it off to “Shake It Off,” feeling the intensity of “Anti-Hero,” and belting out “Blank Space” under the stars. With lasers lighting up the sky in perfect sync to each beat, you’ll be fully immersed in the experience.
What’s in Store for Swifties?
Before the show kicks off, prepare to be wowed by a live, 10-minute star tour of the night sky. It’s the perfect way to set the tone for the event, and a reminder that this isn’t just a concert—it’s a chance to gather with fellow fans and celebrate your shared love for Taylor’s music.
MOSI President and CEO John Graydon Smith knows exactly what this night means to fans. As a father to two teenage daughters, he’s seen firsthand the way Taylor’s music brings people together. “Imagine that energy exploding across the night sky in lasers, lights, and surround sound,” Smith says. “This isn’t just a show—it’s a shared experience for Swifties of all ages.”
