WithTaylor Swift about to commence the UK leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour, Airbnb is offering ‘Swifties’ the chance to go one step further in their fandom – with an array of stays inspired by the singer-songwriter’s different ‘Eras'.
Devoted Swifties have the opportunity to take their fandom with them on their next holiday as Airbnb has rounded up its top Taylor-inspiredstays across the globe – all in locations with features that nod tothe lyrics of her songs, or epitomise one of her iconic Eras.
Whether you’re hoping to live it up in Florida, like Taylor’s song of the same title from The Tortured Poets Department album, or dreaming of living your Forever Winter fantasy in Iceland– Airbnb is helping fans - with or without tickets - to step into the eleven iconic Eras.
Amanda Cupples, General Manager for the UK and Northern Europe at Airbnb, said: “A huge part of what we do at Airbnb is offer unforgettable travel experiences that tap into the parts of culture people love the most - whether that be musicians, TV shows, or films.
We’re seeing the ‘passion tourism’ trend rise across the board, and Taylor Swift is no different. When tickets for the UK leg of the Eras Tour went on sale last July, searches for Airbnbs in London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Liverpool during the concert dates increased by 337 per cent*, compared with searches for those dates the previous month. With people willing to travel further afield to celebrate their fandom, we hope our curated list of extraordinary stays help bring Taylor’s iconic Eras set list to life.”
Here are some of the places that each represent one of Swift's eras.
