Taylor Swift is in town, and if you were lucky enough to score tickets, you’re going to need a way to drown out the squeals of middle schoolers to focus on the lyrics to “Blank Space.” (It’s “star-crossed lovers,” but it really could be “Starbucks.”)

Band-aids don’t fix bullet holes, but a few brews at Nationals Park will ensure that your night is full of especially shameless dancing.

Cheers to being one of the few legal attendees – besides these 26 lawmakers, of course.

Drink…

– For each model-friend Swift brings on stage

– Every time Swift stares at the crowd, with an amazed or surprised look on her face

– For every wardrobe change

– For every song about a male celebrity

– When Swift compliments the audience

Take a shot if…

– Swift brings the Obama girls on stage

– You see a politician with his or her kids

– Swift posts an Instagram photo of a monument (take another if you’ve posted a similar photo)

– Swift talks about the rain (be sure to bring an umbrella)

Finish your drink if…

– You spot University President Steven Knapp dancing to “Shake It Off”

– Swift reveals she’s dumped pop star Calvin Harris for a lobbyist
