A Night of Candlelight and Taylor Swift: Just Minutes from The Anderson

If you're a Taylor Swift fan living at The Anderson, mark your calendar for a truly unforgettable evening. The Candlelight: Tribute to Taylor Swift concert transforms Taylor’s biggest hits into breathtaking string quartet performances, all set within the warm, flickering glow of hundreds of candles. Held at the beautiful Bethell Hall inside St. David’s Episcopal Church in downtown Austin, this unique event is just a short drive away, making it the perfect local night out.

The intimate concert features the talented Listeso String Quartet performing Swift’s most beloved songs like Love Story, Lavender Haze, You Belong With Me, All Too Well, and Anti-Hero. With seating set close to the performers and candles lining the room, the atmosphere is serene, emotional, and deeply immersive. Whether you attend solo, on a date, or with fellow Swifties, the experience is unlike any typical live show; it’s cozy, elegant, and unforgettable.

Residents of The Anderson will appreciate how accessible the event is, removing the hassle of downtown traffic or complicated logistics. Once the music ends, you’re just minutes from the comfort of home, making it easy to stretch a memorable night into a relaxing evening. Plus, it’s a wonderful way to experience Austin’s creative side in a quieter, more reflective way than the typical nightlife scene.

For the best experience, grab tickets early. They often sell out quickly. Arriving a bit before showtime is also key, as seating is first come, first served within your ticket zone. And while you won’t hear screaming crowds, you might just find yourself softly singing along with strangers to a string version of Blank Space—a moment Swift herself would probably call “magical.”
