Taylor Swift-Inspired Pole Dancing Brought Fans to South City [NSFW]

For edgy, sexy shows in deep south city, Aurora (7413 South Broadway) has become the place to be — and Saturday was no exception.

The self-described "STL's dreamiest venue," located in the Patch neighborhood, hosted a Taylor Swift-inspired pole and aerial variety show and dance party, Meet Me at Midnight. Produced by Ruby Soho STL, the theatrics included a bit more skin than the Eras Tour — but attendees could definitely feel a lavender haze creeping up on them ... and it was dizzying. At Aurora, every seat in the house has a great view of the stage, and many people in the audience sang along to every word of the Taylor Swift playlist.

Photographer Max Bouvatte was there to capture all the highlights.
