BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Happy Birthday, Tay Tay!
Hundreds of Taylor Swift fans celebrated the pop star's 34th trip around the sun at ArtsQuest's Ice Rink at Steelstacks "Taylor Swift Night" held Wednesday, Dec. 13.
The Swifties arrived by the hundreds for two skating sessions held at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m.
As per ArtsQuest, 380 tickets were issued on Wednesday, making it the most popular and first themed skate night that sold out in 2023.
Friendships on display
One of Swift's biggest fans, Kelly Sullivan donned a gold "Happy Birthday" sash.
She was also celebrating her birthday on Dec. 13 and in true Swift fashion — alongside her bestie, Sarah Kraemer.
"Last year was my Taylor Swift birthday," she said of turning "22" in 2022. "I love the album '1989' but I think my favorite Swift song is 'Tolerate It.'"
The duo was just one of many girl squads that traded in their "Getaway Car" for skates that night.
The Swifties wore friendship bracelets, cardigans (a nod to Swift's song of the same name) and sweatshirts with the singer's photo on full display.
Together, they skated around the ice — some "Fearless," some "Delicate."
Even those who fell and tripped on the ice didn't care about their "Reputation."
They were there to celebrate all things Swift, arguably the most talked about celebrity nowadays.
In the Warren household, Sherry and her daughter, Brooke, are both huge Swift fans.
Sherry Warren completed her "Eras" look with a "1989" cardigan, while nine-year-old Brooke chose to wear a Swift sweatshirt and "T" and "S" sticker on both of her cheeks.
Brooke skipped dance class to attend (her favorite after-school hobby)and spend time with her mom as they bonded over their mutual admiration for the "Karma" singer.
"It's going to be a Swiftmas this year," Warren said of her daughter's Christmas wish for Swift-related sweatshirts, perfume, T-shirts, posters and other merchandise.
"We both love that she is from PA and that she is so kind and talented," Warren said.
Roses for Tay
As for the birthday girl, Swift rang in her 34th in "Style" kicking off the festivities on Tuesday in New York City with her A-list bestie Selena Gomez, as well as actor Miles Teller and his wife, Keleigh Sperry.
The 12-time Grammy winner reportedly skipped TIME Magazine's gala that evening, even though she was named the publication's Person of the Year.
On Wednesday, Swift received a special delivery of white flowers, including roses that were rumored to be from her NFL beau, Travis Kelce.
Warren and Brooke are both hoping he pops the question, as rumors circulate that Kelce will propose soon.
According to Page Six, Kelce was absent on Swift's special day due to a prior football commitment with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Nevertheless, the superstar shared the birthday love with fans on Wednesday, making her Eras Tour Concert Film available to watch on demand.
