Back Bay Harry’s is celebrating the New Year by pitting two of the biggest pop divas against each other: Katy Perry and Taylor Swift. Ring in the New Year with a three-course, prix-fixe dinner, a champagne toast, and the music and videos by the pop world’s greatest “frenemies.”

Following the success of the “Super Fan” brunch series, which featured pop luminaries like Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears, Back Bay Harry’s has decided to continue to trend at their biggest party of the year. In addition to Katy Perry and Taylor Swift’s greatest hits, there will be videos on the large screen televisions, a red carpet arrival for you and your friends, and a dueling themed menu. Do you prefer “This is How We Do” Moroccan-spiced swordfish and “Your Birthday Everyday” cheesecake or “Shake It Off” buttermilk fried chicken and “White Horse” strawberry tarts? Only you can decide.

Tickets to the New Year’s Eve celebration are $55. This is a 21+ event.
