(LAKEWOOD, NJ) -- Swifties of all ages are invited to sing, dance and celebrate the music of one of pop's biggest superstars when Lover Taylor – Tribute to Taylor Swift comes to the Strand Center for the Arts on Friday, July 24, 2026 at 8:00pm.

Inspired by the record-breaking Eras Tour, Lover Taylor delivers a dazzling concert experience that recreates the excitement, energy and emotion of Taylor Swift's celebrated live performances. Featuring era-inspired costumes, choreography, stunning visuals and a powerhouse live band, the production takes audiences on a musical journey through every chapter of Taylor Swift's remarkable career—from early favorites like "Love Story" to today's chart-topping hits.

Tickets are $35–$55, plus applicable fees, and are available for purchase online or by calling (732) 730-5925. The Strand Center for the Arts is located at 400 Clifton Avenue in Lakewood, New Jersey. The Box Office opens two hours before each performance. The concert is appropriate for all ages.

The production is fronted by acclaimed singer and multi-instrumentalist Charity Eden, whose remarkable attention to detail and dynamic stage presence have earned praise from Swift fans around the world. Every costume change, signature movement, vocal inflection and memorable concert moment has been carefully recreated to capture the spirit of one of the most successful tours in music history.

Eden, a graduate of the prestigious University of North Texas College of Music, has spent more than 15 years performing professionally as a vocalist, guitarist, pianist and bassist. After witnessing Taylor Swift's Eras Tour firsthand, she was inspired to create a production that would allow more fans to experience the excitement of the show—especially those who were unable to secure tickets.
