Taylor Swift-themed food, drinks, drag shows and more ways to celebrate Eras Tour launch

Taylor Swift's return to Arizona will be celebrated with Glendale's name change, drag brunches and festivities across Phoenix where Swifties can sing and dance along to 12 albums' worth of songs.

Whether you snagged Eras Tour tickets or not, you can party with Swift — or at least her likeness. Two Taylor Swift drag queen impersonators, Jade Jolie and Jessie Tyler, will be in Phoenix entertaining fans with their lip-syncs and meticulously recreated outfits.

If you want to try out your dance moves and maybe belt out all 10 minutes of "All Too Well," The Van Buren's event on the eve of the Eras Tour is one to check out. Or head to Westgate Entertainment District and Heritage at Sportsman's Park, which are both hosting Swiftie-friendly events, to pass the time before your show.

Here are five Eras Tour parties happening in the Phoenix area.
