Are You Ready For It? TS12 Album Launch Party at Sandestin

Calling all Swifties! This Friday, October 3, 2025, Marina Bar & Grill at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort is hosting a one-of-a-kind Taylor Swift Album Release Party. Celebrate Taylor’s newest era, The Life of a Showgirl—also known as TS12—with themed cocktails, dinner specials, and a bayside setting that’s perfect for singing along with fellow swifties. 

Celebrate Taylor Swift’s 12th Album: The Life of a Showgirl

Taylor’s 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, is packed with the Easter eggs Swifties know and love. From the announcement on August 12, 2024 at 12:12 AM, to the release date of October 3, 2025 (10+3 = her lucky number 13), the number symbolism is everywhere.

This era also carries a Shakespearean twist, with a heavy connection to Hamlet. The lead single, “The Fate of Ophelia,” and the album’s cover art—referencing Ophelia’s drowning scene—make it one of Taylor’s most theatrical and emotional works yet. Themes of love, loss, and resilience make it the perfect soundtrack for fall nights on the bay.

Event Details

Friendship Bracelets Pop-Up (Duhhh!)

Whether you’re swapping Swiftie friendship bracelets with your besties or picking out a one-of-a-kind piece, it’s the perfect way to add shimmer to your night—and take home a keepsake from The Life of a Showgirl celebration.

Sunsets, Sequins & Swiftie Songs

Located on the beautiful Choctawhatchee Bay, Marina Bar & Grill is known for its laid-back atmosphere, friendly service, and photo-worthy sunsets. Add in a Taylor Swift listening party, and you’ve got an evening filled with music, laughter, and a little glitter.

Expect a playlist that spans the eras—from Fearless singalongs to 1989 dance tracks, with plenty of Folklore moods and Midnights anthems in between. And of course, the night will shine a spotlight on The Life of a Showgirl.

And yes—don’t be surprised if there are playful nods to Taylor’s love life too. Friendship bracelets and even a Chiefs jersey or two might make their way onto the dance floor!

It’s a Love Story, Baby Just Say Yes — to Friday Night!

We already know that the Taylor Swift Album Release Party is the perfect kickoff to October at Sandestin, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with fellow Swifties.

As locals remember, Taylor even gave our region a little unexpected love on her last album—where she mentioned Destin, Florida in the track “Florida!!!”. Who knows…maybe we’ll get another shoutout?

Come celebrate with us! Let’s all find out together what The Life of a Showgirl is all about—because we already know it’s going to be amazing.
