Is Taylor Swift heading to Blackpool? Pleasure Beach makes a bold birthday move
Could Taylor Swift heading to Blackpool? If Pleasure Beach staff have anything to do with it then yes!
Pleasure Beach Resort is shooting its shot with the world’s biggest pop icon ahead of its 130th anniversary, and it’s knocking £95 off the price of a season pass to mark the occasion.
To celebrate Taylor Swift’s 36th birthday this week the Blackpool attraction has reduced the price of its Platinum Pass for one day only, and reached out to the global superstar with an offer.
As Pleasure Beach prepares to celebrate its 130th year in 2026, the team penned a playful note inviting Taylor to join in the fun and try out the park’s legendary rollercoasters – including its world-famous “woodies.”
In a message on X, the park teased: “Since it's your birthday, we wanted to send you the gift of a Pleasure Beach Resort Platinum Season Pass. We're celebrating our 130th year in 2026 (when we will quite literally be acting like it's our birthday every day) and we'd love you to come try out our Wood (we have four of them).”
With Swift’s NFL star fiancé Travis Kelce recently buying a stake in American amusement park operator Six Flags, the resort added: “We heard Travis invested in Six Flags so there's a good chance you like theme parks too, right?”
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end is the subject of the song ‘Wood’, and grew up visiting Six Flags-owned Cedar Point in Ohio, calling himself a “lifelong Six Flags fan.”
In a nod to another Taylor Swift song, the Pleasure Beach team said it would make their “Wildest Dreams come true” if the singer was to respond.
And they couldn’t resist a playful dig at rivals Thorpe Park, adding “PS: Don’t ask if you can find your Fearless, it’s a sore subject.”
While ‘Fearless’ is the name of one of Swift’s earlier albums, ‘Find Your Fearless’ is the tag-line for Thorpe Park’s Hyperia ride, which beat Pleasure Beach’s record for the UK’s tallest rollercoaster in 2024.
The note was signed off as “Pleasure Beach Resort (Taylor’s Version.)”

Whether Taylor accepts remains to be seen, but Pleasure Beach Resort insists the offer stands, and the invitation is open.
Amanda Thompson OBE, CEO of Pleasure Beach Resort, said: “Taylor Swift is one of the biggest names on the planet and our 130th year is going to be huge, so who better to celebrate it with?
“Taylor’s birthday felt like the perfect moment to invite her to enter her Pleasure Beach Era. Her Platinum Season Pass is waiting for her in Blackpool whenever she wants it!”
A Pleasure Beach Platinum Season Pass is the park’s top-tier ticket, granting unlimited access to the rides, discounted food, drink, hotel stays and events, and free entry to seven other theme parks across Europe.
It usually costs £225 for the year, but is available for £130 for today (December 13) only, when customers use the code SWIFT at the checkout.
