On Friday, Jan. 21 Taylor Swift will be boarding a cruise ship packed with her fans and contest winners and performing an at-sea show live. And MTV Buzzworthy writer Nicole James embarked on the seven-day cruise to catch all the seafaring action. Here's her report.
Ahoy-hoy, people! Today marks our second day (almost) trapped at sea with Taylor Swift--she'll be on board Friday when this huge cruise ship I'm on docks in Mexico -- and things are getting pretty wacky. There's a new towel animal on my bed every day, I've been proposed to by a busboy (I politely declined, because I'm a professional), and I accidentally got trapped in some kind of mall parade:
That little kid stole my dance moves.
But enough about the boring stuff. Today is T-Day on the boat! All Taylor, all the time--Taylor Swift look-alike contests, Taylor Swift karaoke jam sessions, Taylor Swift name-that-tune games and Taylor Swift woodworking competitions. I'm kidding about that last one. But seriously, I will officially go on the record saying that Taylor Swift fans are a die-hard group. If these Taylor Swift fans fight people the same way they love Taylor Swift, I'm staying out of the way.
A guest's balcony letting their Taylor Swift flag fly. Literally.
I think I can safely assume that no other person on the planet has heard the name "Taylor Swift" more times in a 72-hour period than me. I actually had a dream last night that our waiter's name was Taylor Swift. I wish I was kidding. But maybe it has something to do with my bedspread?
Stay tuned to hear all about Taylor Swift's concert at sea this Friday. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a limbo contest to go crush.
