The highlight of the event will be an epic dance party where Swifties will SHAKE IT OFF and sing along to exclusive Taylor Swift mash-ups by DJ WSTN (Melbourne) and DJ Emerald Jones (Sydney). Guests will receive a free download link to the Let's Dance: Swifties Club one-hour mega-mix produced by the besties musical duo of Katie (WSTN) and Emerald. 

Guests can enjoy delicious food and Taylor themed mocktails and cocktails at the event. The memories made at Let's Dance: Swifties Club will live on EVERMORE. 

The festivities will be co-hosted by "Dancing With The Stars Australia" pro and Mirrorball champion, Jessica Raffa, alongside Genevieve Hegney from the hit show, "Colin From Accounts". Like Taylor Swift, these two talented entertainers are fierce champions of girls and women. 

Let’s Dance: Swifties Club invites attendees to embrace their Dance ERA. Jessica will teach guests Taylor Swift's coolest dance moves, ensuring everyone is ready to hit the dance-floor.

"I'm so excited to team up with my friends at Trueheart and the hilarious Genevieve Hegney, for an amazing Swifties event. Taylor is an incredible artist and a legend. It is a joy to celebrate her legacy with some of her biggest Aussie fans. Plus, we're bringing Swifties together to support the wonderful work of the non-profit Share The Dignity. I can't wait to see you on the dance-floor", said professional dancer and TV personality Jessica Raffa. 

"We're excited to celebrate the impact icon Taylor Swift has made on pop culture and as a humanitarian. Taylor is a role model to millions of girls and women who not only love her music, but also admire the way she uses her platform for good," said Skye Malin, Partner at Trueheart. "We can't wait to see everyone at The Emerson and at Liberty Hall, for the ultimate Swifties party with a purpose. We are proud to support Share The Dignity, a non-profit that empowers girls, women and those who menstruate, and advocates for better health outcomes. Share The Dignity works tirelessly to ensure that individuals are not sidelined from life due to a lack of necessary supplies. The charity makes a difference in the lives of people experiencing homelessness, domestic violence and poverty and to date they have collected and distributed 5.5 million period products."

"I'm honored to co-host Let's Dance: Swifties Club with the talented Jessica Raffa. When my friends at Trueheart said they were hosting a Swifties party for a great cause, of course I was in! Taylor Swift rocked Australia last year on her Eras Tour. She has managed to create this wonderfully inclusive community for her fans and inspires them to do good in the world. I'm looking forward to hanging with my fellow Swifties at the event and to supporting the noble work of Share The Dignity”, said actor and activist Genevieve Hegney. 

This is an appreciation event to celebrate the music and impact of Taylor Swift. Let’s Dance: Swifties Club is not affiliated with Taylor Swift and she will not be performing at the event.
