There was no way that KK WADE was going to just slide into 2025 like some horny dude into the DMs of some overrated OnlyFans whore and not get some more Karaoke Time in. Fuck no!

In the last 2 weeks of 2024, KK WADE went to 4 karaoke shows and got a whopping 30 songs in. Out of all of those, 17 of my absolute favorites were chosen to be in this episode of The KKWS for all of you niggas to enjoy.

All performances were recorded at Pittsburgh area bars. Oh, and a preliminary "Fuck You" to 2025!

5 days after the end of The Eras Tour just so happened to be Taylor Swift's 35th birthday! Any bar owner worth their salt was going to try to find a good way to capitalize on this day.

While I'm sure that there were plenty of events going on across the city, I decided to go to a trusted bar that I'd been to before, Stinky's Bar and Grill!

I'm not a fake nigga, so I'll keep it real: not exactly my best night of singing for a few reasons (having to yell rather to sing due to incessant chatter, words on the screen not keeping up with the song, alcohol... lol), but a good time was still had. This night wasn't about sounding the "best," but a celebration of Taylor Swift, and celebration was definitely had!

Songs sang:

Taylor Swift - "Lavender Haze"
Taylor Swift - "New Romantics"
Taylor Swift - "willow"
Taylor Swift - "False God"
Taylor Swift - "my tears ricochet"
Taylor Swift - "Anti-Hero"

A little more than 2 weeks after the special Swiftie karaoke event at the Hard Rock Cafe, on December 14, 2023, Dormont's Apple Inn also had a Swiftie-themed karaoke event of their own. KK hadn't sang at The Apple Inn in years, so he definitely wasn't going to pass up this opportunity to sing to all of the Swifties of the Dormont area.

Songs Performed:

Taylor Swift - Bad Blood
Taylor Swift - Ready For It
Taylor Swift - willow

Having seen many bands at the Hard Rock Cafe in Pittsburgh, KK had always wondered how long it'd be before THE KK WADE SHOW would grace their stage.

Well, on November 28 2023, the waiting had finally come to an end... and in the form of a special "Eras Tour" karaoke event.  KK WADE, with the 10 years of karaoke experience he had, along with 8 years of being a Swiftie under his belt, you know he was going to make an appearance.

Everyone was able to pick at least 3 songs to sing. The ones KK chose were:

Taylor Swift - "Ready For It"
Taylor Swift - "22"
Taylor Swift - "Midnight Rain" 

Enjoy the show, my niggas!

Being only a month away from his Taylor Swift concert in Stockholm, KK WADE wanted to experience as much Taylor Swift and Swiftie culture as he could as his excitement was at an all-time high. And when you put together these three things:

1. Taylor Swift
2. Karaoke
3. New bar that I haven't sang at before

... you're gonna get KK WADE. Like a moth to a flame.

And so KK WADE showed up, rocked the house, sang some songs he'd never sang before and partied like it was 1989! ;)
