On a regular day, Brightline, Florida’s high-speed train service, takes travelers between Miami and Orlando in 3.5 hours or less. While going between the beach and Disney at 130 mph is what Brightline does best, on October 18, 19, and 20, 2024, the rail operator will shake things up a little. On those three dates, Brightline, in collaboration with iHeartRadio, will add some serious pizzazz to its regular route by running a Taylor Swift-themed train ride. The Sing-Along Train will take fans from Orlando to the pop star’s Eras Tour concerts at Hard Rock Stadium.

A Taylor Swift Train Is Coming to Florida. Here's How You Can Ride It.
On board the appropriately decorated Sing-Along Train, concertgoers will be able to sing to their favorite Taylor Swift songs thanks to the talents of two DJs: XL106.7 and Magic107.7. But that’s not all. There’ll be cocktails and snacks served to tie fans over before the big event, and there’ll be photo opportunities. Of course, passengers will be encouraged to swap friendship bracelets during the unique ride to the stadium.
“At iHeartRadio, we’re all about connecting our listeners with the music and experiences they love. Our partnership with Brightline allows us to bring fans even closer to the action, with an unforgettable journey to The Big Concert. We’re thrilled to be a part of this first-of-its-kind Sing-Along Train, and can’t wait to see the memories our listeners will make on board,” said Jeremy Rice, Program Director iHeartRadio’s XL 106.7 + Magic 107.7 Orlando in a press release.
The Taylor Swift train will depart from Orlando Station and end in Aventura where shuttle buses will take passengers straight to the Hard Rock Stadium. The train will not stop at any other Brightline stations along the way.
There will be two departures for the Sing-Along train on those three dates: At 12:50 PM or 1:50 PM from Orlando for an arrival in Aventura at 3:56 PM or 4:51 PM.
Tickets for the Sing-Along Train are now on sale on Brightline’s booking system, starting at $209 for Smart and $309 for Premium one-way. The differences between the two classes of service include seats with extra space, priority boarding, and access to the station lounge for Premium passengers.
Beyond the Sing-Along Train, Brightline will also be running Hard Rock Connect trains that will include the shuttle ride from the Aventura station to the Hard Rock stadium. However, Hard Rock Connect trains will not have the DJs, the sing-alongs, the photos opps, etc.
There will be one Hard Rock Connect southbound train from Orlando with stops in West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, to Aventura, as well as three Hard Rock Connect northbound trains from Miami to Aventura.
After the concerts, there will also be three Hard Rock Connect trains (two northbound trains and one southbound train) to take passengers back home. Schedules and bookings for the Hard Rock Connect trains are now available on Brightline’s website.
