This past Sunday, October 2nd, the Taylor Swift Society held a Taylor Swift Dance Party in the Bank Building.\u00a0 It lasted from 7-10 which was enough time to jam out to an impressive amount of Taylor\u2019s discography.\u00a0 This includes, of course, the famous dancing song, \u201cAll Too Well(10 minute version)\u201d which was surprisingly, perhaps the song that yielded the most energy and excitement, with just about everyone screaming the words.\u00a0 Her other classics like \u201cLove Story\u201d and \u201cShake it Off\u201d were of course big hits as well.\u00a0 The party had a predominantly 1989 theme since it\u2019s an album full of pop perfection most appropriate for a dance party.\u00a0 There was also a callback to her track \u201cMirrorball\u201d off \u201cFolklore\u201d with a few little disco balls placed around.<\/span><\/p>\n Last year the Taylor Swift Society started here at Roanoke College with last semester being the first time they started to hold events.\u00a0 Many colleges have started Taylor Swift Societies, notably including Oxford.\u00a0 It\u2019s a little more difficult to get it going to their level here of course due to our smaller campus and student population but they were able to yield a lot of attention and interest at the club fair.\u00a0 The club president, Caroline Powell, has done a great job building this club up with a fun and welcoming environment and is helping it to find its proper footing.\u00a0 She was pleased with how the dance party went and is excited for the future of the club!\u00a0 This first event had a turnout of about twenty people and the hope is to get the numbers up but this is a good start!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0This was their first event of the semester and they have a few more fun events coming up if you missed this one!\u00a0 After fall break there will be a listening party for her new album \u201cMidnights\u201d where there will be a \u201cbreakfast at midnight\u201d theme.\u00a0 This will include, as is implied, a spread of breakfast foods, but will likely not be at midnight for practical purposes.\u00a0 They plan to have one event a month and continue this schedule next semester.\u00a0 Other possible upcoming events include a Taylor Swift trivia competition in collaboration with the Quiz Bowl team, a viewing of \u201cMiss Americana\u201d and a karaoke night!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Karen Kholer This past Sunday, October 2nd, the Taylor Swift Society held a Taylor Swift Dance Party in the Bank Building.\u00a0 It lasted from 7-10 which was enough time to jam out to an impressive amount of Taylor\u2019s discography.\u00a0 This includes, of course, the famous dancing song, \u201cAll Too Well(10 minute version)\u201d which was…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":6876,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[23],"class_list":["post-6875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","tag-summer2019"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6875\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
