I’ve been to five of them. Here’s what to expect.

Maybe you’ve heard: Taylor Swift released a new album last week. “The Life of a Showgirl” is advertised as a look into the life of music’s biggest star when she’s not onstage, and several local businesses are getting in on the hype. Magic City Books and Ida Red threw listening parties last week; AMC Theaters hosted a limited theatrical run of “The Official Release Party of a Showgirl” which included the premiere of her new music video; even Cain’s Ballroom is celebrating with its own release party for the album. 

One local business has been celebrating T-Swift’s work and milestones for the past two-and-a-half years. This week, Duet is bringing back a wine dinner concept that has become one of Tulsa’s hardest dinner reservations to snag. In fact, this one’s already sold out.
