The Sounds of Taylor Swift Come to Ocean City, NJ

The Sounds of Taylor Swift Come to Ocean City, NJ

It is being celebrated as “back due to overwhelming demand.”

Entertainment professional Bob Rose is the reliable source from which I learned about this.

Rose shared the news on his social media page yesterday that…

After kicking off the summer with TWO sold-out shows, Let’s Sing Taylor – A Live Band Experience Celebrating Taylor Swift returns for a special encore! Don’t miss the show everyone’s raving about – August 20th at the Ocean City Music Pier, Rose wrote.

Ticket sales began yesterday, July 3, 2024, at 10:00 am at Etix and the Music Pier Box Office.

Taylor Swift remains the hottest entertainer in the world. She is a phenomenon.

The last two “Let’s Sing Taylor” concerts at the Ocean City Music Pier were incredibly popular.

If you have never attended a concert at the Ocean City Music Pier… it is a wonderful venue and offers a comprehensive viewing and listening experience.

In case you missed it, we wrote an in-depth article about Taylor Swift and her direct connection to Atlantic City.

It is the true story of how talented entertainer Johnny Petillo discovered Taylor Swift in Atlantic City.

Here is a link to our coverage:

I first heard about the connection to Johnny Petillo from my friend Tony Orlando, who told me:

I can’t believe it, but Taylor Swift’s father (Scott) confirmed it when I asked him about it. That it was indeed Atlantic City entertainer Johnny Petillo who gave Taylor her first gig in Atlantic City. Johnny introduced Taylor to her first audience at the tender age of twelve and Johnny said that even as a twelve year old, he was always amazed by Taylor’s ability to command the stage and love her audience. In fact, in her first book… in the first chapter, Taylor Swift talks about Johnny Petillo’s help. Imagine… this little 12 year old girl filling stadiums all over the world in front of 80,000 people. Wow!!! what an amazing story! – said Tony Orlando, a music/entertainer icon with a 64 year career permanently etched on his impeccable resume.

Here is a personal note and autograph to Johnny Petillo… from then 12-year-old Taylor Swift.
