Those who are in relationships are likely already planning the Valentine’s Day getaway that they will be taking with their significant other. For the rest of us, though (and those who feel the “holiday” is just a symbol of commercialism), a pop-up bar is on its way to Chicago.
Titled “Bad Blood: a Taylor-themed Heartbreak Bar”, it has been inspired by the queen of the break-up song, Taylor Swift. The name comes from the singer’s award-winning track, “Bad Blood”, which features the lyrics, “Baby, now we got bad blood / You know it used to be mad love / So take a look what you done”.
“Whether you want to sing about your lover, those who were never yours, those you’re never getting back together with, or those who still have your scarf, this is the perfect place for you,” states the pop-up’s website.
After paying the $22 admission fee (which includes a welcome drink), guests can get bejeweled for photos, sip champagne, hear whether love is on the horizon from a tarot card reader, and give the Shake It Off Wheel of Cocktails a spin. Alas, Taylor herself will not be there.
The pop-up bar is located at Electric Garden at 324 S Racine Ave in Chicago and comes courtesy of Bucket Listers who have previously created pop-ups inspired by the Golden Girls and Beauty and the Beast.
You can visit the Bad Blood bar between February 3 and 26.
