- Tortured poets apply within — there's a blank space where GetYourGuide wants to write your name to guide a Taylor Swift-themed tour of New York City.
- The Ultimate Swiftie Tour Guide will know the artist and her locales all too well and have creative liberty to design and lead the ultimate Taylor Swift-inspired tour for fans.
NEW YORK, May 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- GetYourGuide, a leading online global marketplace for travel experiences, in partnership with experience creator On Location Tours, is initiating the search for the ultimate Taylor Swift fan to create and lead an immersive Taylor Swift-inspired guided tour through New York City — a destination deeply connected to the award-winning artist and mentioned throughout her discography. A search will also take place for an ultimate fan to lead a tour in London.
Those who have wanted to follow in the footsteps of their favorite artist will be able to let the magic unfold into a dream side job, the Ultimate Swiftie Tour Guide will co-create a fun and clever guided tour in their respective city.
"Taylor Swift famously wrote a song called 'Welcome to New York,' along with dozens of other songs that mention New York and London by name; her love for both cities has really whet tourists' appetites for Taylor Swift-inspired tours of both," said Madison Pietrowski, Head of Brand US at GetYourGuide. "They want to see these places through Taylor's very romantic eyes. Who better to deliver the ultimate Taylor tour to her fans than an ultimate Swiftie, someone who can ensure that fans feel welcomed to New York — and London — as if Taylor herself has been waiting for them, to take them along a highly personalized tour of her favorite spots."
This announcement follows a recent survey1 from GetYourGuide that found that 44% of travelers globally choose a destination based on their passions and interests. Another survey2 from the brand also found that 22% of Americans have been influenced by a celebrity or influencer showcase to pick a location, including 32% of Millennials and 26% of men.
Ultimate Swiftie Tour Guide job perks will include compensation, training with professional tour guides in New York City or London and complimentary tickets to bring friends or family members on tours you lead.
Job applicants must be avid Taylor Swift fans with a deep knowledge and affection for the artist's music, passions and background. The ideal candidate is fearless, a lover at heart and an anti-hero who wants to live out their wildest dreams as an official Swiftie tour guide. To apply, Swifties can speak now by posting a video on Instagram or TikTok sharing why they deserve to be the Ultimate Swiftie Tour Guide and tagging @GetYourGuide and #UltimateSwiftieGuide. Applicants will then be notified via DM if they've made it to the second round, where they'll be invited to apply via a formal application and interview by the experience creator in their country.
