NEW YORK - "Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' for you!"
Are you the ultimate New York City Swiftie?
Well, there's no Swiftie like a Big Apple Swiftie--one who understands just how critical NYC has been for Taylor Swift's career.
From NYU, where she received her honorary doctorate in fine arts, or the Empire State Building, where she announced her album, 1989, the list goes on and on.
GetYourGuide is looking for the ultimate fan to lead an in-depth Taylor Swift-inspired guided tour through the city. The guide will essentially allow fans to follow in her footsteps.
