Get ready to sing, dance, and sparkle, Tampa—because a Taylor Swift laser show is coming to the Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI) on Thursday, May 15, at 6:30 p.m. This high-energy, laser-powered tribute to Taylor Swift’s biggest hits will light up the brand-new Saunders Planetarium & Digital Dome Theatre—the second-largest planetarium in the country.
Tickets are $10, or $8 for MOSI members, and are available now at MOSI.org.

For one night only, fans of all ages can immerse themselves in a dazzling sound-and-light show that spans Taylor’s entire music catalog. From the country charm of “You Belong with Me” to the synth-pop shine of “Cruel Summer,” the playlist covers every era of her career. Songs like “Shake It Off,” “Anti-Hero,” and “Blank Space” will blast through the dome while lasers dance across the sky in perfect sync.
A one-night-only T Swift laser show experience
Before the laser show begins, guests will enjoy a live 10-minute guided tour of the stars in real time—just one of the perks of MOSI’s upgraded digital dome theatre. After that, it’s full-on Swiftie mode.
MOSI President and CEO John Graydon Smith knows firsthand how Taylor Swift’s music brings people together.
“As a father of two teenage daughters, I’ve witnessed the magic of Taylor Swift’s music lighting up a car ride, a living room dance party, even an entire stadium,” said Smith. “Now imagine that energy exploding across the night sky in lasers, lights, and surround sound in our digital dome theater. This isn’t just a show—it’s a shared experience for Swifties of all ages, and we can’t wait to welcome fans to sing, dance, and celebrate together under the stars.”
The evening kicks off early, with gates opening at 5:30 p.m. Guests can grab a bite from Station House BBQ and enjoy drinks from a full bar before heading inside. (Note: Food and drinks aren’t allowed inside the theater.)
Show up in your best Taylor Swift fits
Here’s the full event schedule:
- 5:30 p.m. – Gates open
- 6:10 p.m. – Theater doors open
- 6:30 p.m. – Laser Taylor Swift show begins with a live star tour
- 7:30 p.m. – Event concludes
Fans are encouraged to show up in style—outfits inspired by their favorite Taylor Swift era are welcome. Expect plenty of friendship bracelets, glitter, and group sing-alongs.
This isn’t just a one-time light show; it marks the start of an exciting new era for MOSI. In the coming weeks, the museum plans to roll out additional laser shows set to the music of Queen and Pink Floyd, expanding their offerings in the revamped planetarium.
Seating is limited, and given Taylor Swift’s massive fan base, this event is expected to sell out fast. If you’ve ever dreamed of hearing “Enchanted” or “Love Story” under a laser-lit sky, now’s your chance.
Tickets are available now at MOSI.org, and early booking is highly recommended.
