Best Spots to Listen to the New Taylor Swift Album

It’s been one week since Taylor Swift released her eleventh album “THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT” and its surprise deluxe tracks on April 19, and only a few days since Spotify announced Wednesday that it has become the only album in the platform’s history to reach one billion streams in a single week. For all the Swifties who want to celebrate (or anyone else interested in listening to very sad music outdoors), here are the best spots near Arlington to listen to the two-hour album.

Sundance Courtyard: The Green Heart of Fort Worth

Sundance Courtyard is admittedly not as “natural” as some of the other locales we feature, but it is one of the greener cozy areas in downtown Fort Worth. The small red-brick courtyard is home to storefronts, a café, a barbershop and even a BBQ restaurant, most covered with a layer of ivy suspended from tops of the buildings. Along the floor of the courtyard you’ll find large potted plants everywhere, simulating a miniature forest among the brick.
