Dublin gets ready for Love Story with Taylor Swift

The Bridge, a popular bar near the Aviva Stadium, has developed a Taylor Swift themed menu. The manager, Colm Ryan, said they are used to big events but none as big as Taylor.

“We always have rugby matches, Six Nations, things like that,” he said.

“And obviously a lot of concerts as well. We’ve had Pink and Rammstein both playing last weekend. But Taylor, she’s something on another level, the amount of people that come to support her is huge.

“She’s probably one of the biggest artists in the world right now.

“We’ve designed special cocktails this weekend named after a couple of her songs. So we have a Lavender Haze cocktail, and an Enchanted cocktail, along with slushies, you know, frozen daiquiris, I thought to go with the kind of stuff that hopefully weather permitting will fly out.”

Dublin Pottery Studio is running a Taylor-themed mug making class for two nights, both of which sold out within an hour.

Manager Ciara Fullam said the idea came when most of their customers were painting their own Taylor Swift pottery regardless of the concerts.

“We noticed every weekend, people were painting Taylor Swift themes anyway,” she said.
