Catastrophic Blues

A Retreat for Swifties

Spend a Taylor Swift-themed weekend in a luxurious cabin decoding, laughing, crafting, relaxing, singing, baking, and bewitching. Our goal is comfort, connection, and life-giving friendship.

Who: Shannon Evans, Lindsay Simpson (our resident Swiftie literature professor), and mad women (you, whatever your gender expression may be!). There will be—you guessed it—13 of us!

What: Deep cuts, Easter Egg hunts, mashup creation and lyrical analysis, forest scream sessions, writing letters to our own Cassandras, baking Taylor’s Chai Cookies, and gathering as a coven ‘round a sorceress’ table. And so much more.

Where: A beautiful secluded Folklore-style cabin 20 minutes from Iowa City, Iowa. Did we mention it overlooks a vineyard?

When: Friday, April 25, 2025 at 4:00 PM-Sunday, April 27, 2025 at 11:00 AM

Cost: $500 investment includes cozy lodging, delicious meals, curated cocktails and mocktails, and all activities.

“Do you really wanna know where I was April 29th?” Let your answer be, “blushing all the way home from Catastrophic Blues.”
