A Night with Taylor Swift: Here's a Look at What 89 Fans Did at a Private Listening Party in the 'Shake It Off' Singer's NYC Apartment [Pic]
Eighty-nine fans had their wish come true in late September when they were invited to a secret listening party with their idol Taylor Swift in the singer's Tribeca loft, reports the New York Post.
Swift decided to bring together a select group of "Swifties" -- what her fanatics are called -- to hear her new album, "1989," being released this week, and this wasn't the first time. The secret sessions have been going on in Swift's homes across the nation and in London.
On Oct. 3, the 89 fans -- the number a whimsical nod to the album's title -- gathered at the Soho Holiday Inn where they were instructed to notify the concierge they were with the "Crescent Moon Group."
Fans were asked to sign a confidentiality agreement, checked for wires, and had their phones and electronic devices confiscated before boarding a bus to Swift's apartment.
There were "rules" for the evening:
- Be respectful of Swift's space
- Stay on the first floor
- Don't reveal anything about the songs
The surprises kept coming: when the group arrived outside the Tribeca apartment building, Victoria's Secret supermodel Karlie Kloss was at the door waiting to go inside!
