Candlelight: Tribute to Taylor Swift

St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church, Brooklyn Heights

4.8/5

About 1,510 reviews on Fever

A string quartet plays Taylor Swift, from Love Story to The Fate of Ophelia, for 65 minutes by candlelight at St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn Heights. Three evenings at 18:30, from 38.34 dollars with fees.

This is the most reviewed Candlelight show in New York on our list, rated 4.8 from 1,510 reviews on Fever on 29 October 2026. The Highline String Quartet plays ten pieces that cover the whole of Taylor Swift's career: it opens with Love Story, the 2008 lead single from Fearless, and takes in The Fate of Ophelia, the lead single from The Life of a Showgirl, released in October 2025, according to Wikipedia. In between come Anti-Hero, Cruel Summer, You Belong With Me and Shake It Off, plus four medleys drawn from Red, Reputation, Folklore and 1989, so each era gets its turn without the evening running long.

Swift's songs suit two violins, viola and cello well. Her choruses are written to be sung back by a stadium, so the tunes carry clearly without the words, and the quieter Folklore songs sit naturally under a vaulted roof. At 65 minutes this programme is five minutes longer than most Candlelight concerts. It is a tribute, and Fever says plainly that it is not associated with or endorsed by the artist.

St. Ann & the Holy Trinity is an 1847 Gothic Revival church on Montague Street, and its stained glass and side galleries frame the candles well. All three dates start at 18:30, early enough to walk on to dinner in Brooklyn Heights or DUMBO afterwards, and 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge is a 17-minute walk away. Zone B, from 52.38 dollars, is the one we would book to see the players' hands. For doors, zones and the rest of the format, see our full guide to Candlelight in New York.
