Planet Word is kicking off October with the ultimate mashup of football fever and Taylor Swift fandom. Sing along to Taylor’s greatest hits, then take the spotlight in the Unlock the Music karaoke gallery to belt out “Shake It Off” while exploring her songwriting techniques. Test your skills with lyric- and football-inspired word games, dive into the colorful vocabulary of the gridiron, and discover how sports lingo and idioms have shaped everyday language. Finally, make friendship bracelets and strike a pose at a floral backdrop inspired by her engagement for the perfect Swiftie keepsake. Game-day snacks and drinks from Immigrant Food are “Taylor-made” for the occasion.
