A Taylor Swift-inspired suite has popped up on Airbnb, giving you the perfect place to act like a tortured poet and a new romantic while you plot your end game beyond your wildest dreams.
The 4-bedroom Swift Suite at the Evermore Estate is located in Absecon, near Atlantic City. The Airbnb includes album-inspired bedrooms, karaoke machines, custom art, vinyl collection, and a selfie station show you can show everyone how you celebrate your Swift Suite Era.
The homeowners and self-proclaimed Swifties, Kyle and Ashley Tress, partnered with a local Airbnb co-host Krista Baum when they purchased the home earlier this year, just around the time of their Folklore album-themed wedding and release of "The Tortured Poets Department," Taylor's latest album.
"We knew with the Airbnb being located in Absecon we needed a way to stand out from the Airbnb in Atlantic City and beach towns," Tress tells Daily Voice.
As fate would have it, Baum was also a Swiftie, and came up with the idea to make newlyweds' Airbnb Taylor Swift-themed.
"We saw other Airbnbs start to do themes and with the love our team had for Taylor Swift, it seems like a perfect option that we could springboard off the recent release of her new album and her Era's Tour," Tress said. "Ashley and I also loved the idea that we could host friends and family in such a unique space that no one else has in this area.
"As a team, Ashley, Krista, and I hand decorated and came up with the ideas for the themes and how to execute an Airbnb which had a Taylor Swift inspiration to it."
Swift's reinvention of herself was particularly inspirational to Baum, who did the same about five years ago when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
"I was previously in finance and diagnosed with breast cancer, which makes you take a hard look at yourself," she said. "I decided to go out on my own and manage vacation rentals. I left my full-time job and reinvented myself. It's really paid off and has been wonderful. I love it and I'm so passionate about it, and it all comes out in my projects."
When designing the Tress' Airbnb, Baum made sure to drop as many Taylor Swift "Easter Eggs" as she could in the home while designing it. For those who aren't familiar, Swift famously leaves her own "Easter Eggs" — or hidden clues about her life — in her songs, posts, music videos, and more, as a way to interact with fans.
For example, the side table in the room containing a wall of albums was hand-painted to emulate the piano Swift plays on the Era's Tour. The fabric on one of the walls is similar to a dress Taylor wore during COVID at the Grammy's.
And of course, there are photos of cats all around the house, as Swift loves cats.
The living room features Taylor Swift books to read while you listen to Taylor Swift records in an intimate listening area.
The four bedrooms are named Fearless, Folklore, Lover, for when you want to go full Travis and Taylor, and 1989, with each bedroom designed to reflect the mood and aesthetic of the album and "era."
While prices vary depending on when you're staying, the suite generally runs between $400 and $500 a night.
To celebrate the launch, the first five guests to book a stay through Airbnb will receive a complimentary “Swift Suite Welcome Gift,” including exclusive locally curated merchandise.
