BETHLEHEM, Pa. — "It feels like the perfect night," to celebrate Tay Tay's 34th year around the sun.
ArtsQuest's Ice Rink at SteelStacks will feature a special Taylor Swift Night on the pop star's birthday on Wednesday, Dec. 13.
Though Swifties need to act fast.
A "Blank Space" on the ice that night is getting harder to come by.
According to ArtsQuest, tickets to the first session (scheduled for 6:45 p.m.) are sold out, but there still are some left for the 8:30 time slot.
This is the first time a themed skate night has sold out in 2023.
"Taylor has had a lot of great years, but this seems to be her year," ArtsQuest Programming Director Ryan Hill said.
"It's an awesome thing to see. This community likes to get together and celebrate their passion for Taylor's music and performances and I'm glad that fans are willing to do it on a cold night in December."
"One of the reasons this area latches on to Taylor Swift is that she didn't come up from Philly, she didn't come up from Pittsburgh ... it was Berks County, a place that looks a lot like the Lehigh Valley and is adjacent to it. I think that means a lot to people because it makes them feel like everything is possible."ArtsQuest Programming Director Ryan Hill
While the pop star and Berks County native won't be there (rumor is she's spending the special day with her NFL beau, Travis Kelce), fans can dance on ice to some of her biggest hits during the 75-minute sessions.
Sure to be on the setlist: Swift's 2019 heartwarming/holiday tune, "Christmas Tree Farm," inspired by her childhood home in Wyomissing, Berks County.
"One of the reasons this area latches on to Taylor Swift is that she didn't come up from Philly, she didn't come up from Pittsburgh ... it was Berks County, a place that looks a lot like the Lehigh Valley and is adjacent to it," Hill said.
"I think that means a lot to people because it makes them feel like everything is possible."
Tickets start at $18 (adults) and $15 (ages 13 and under).
Expanded rink, sweet treats
No need to retire those "Eras Tour" outfits — or other fashion forward looks.
Along with Swift's birthday bash, ArtsQuest has been holding a host of skate nights. Still to come are a disco night with DJ Brad Scott on Thursday, Dec. 14; an 80s Night on Dec. 20 and a Y2K Pop Skate night on Dec. 21.

It also will be open two weeks longer this year and instead melt away on Martin Luther King Day, Jan. 15.
