An Australian Taylor Swift superfan has revealed she was invited to meet Taylor in Los Angeles.
Brooke Littler posted a video to her TikTok telling the story of the time she was invited to LA to meet her idol in person.
Taylor, Brooke said, had been following her on social networking site Tumblr since 2016 and frequently interacted with Brooke’s posts.
In 2019, Brooke said, she received an email from Taylor’s publicity team, “Taylor Nation”, inviting her to attend a listening party for Taylor’s new album.
“One day I just randomly got this DM (direct message) from Taylor Nation,” she said. “I could not believe it.”
Sharing a screenshot of the message, Brooke added, “I genuinely did not believe this was real.”
“Hi!” the message on screen reads. “We have noticed what a great fan you are and would love to get some more information from you!”
Brooke explained she knew the message was authentic and was likely leading to an invitation to a “secret session” for Taylor’s then-upcoming album Lover, as she had seen other fans receive similar messages for Taylor’s previous album 1989.
Brooke’s suspicions were correct, and two weeks later she flew to LA, where she and around 50 other fans were driven to Taylor’s home.
After listening to the new album, each guest was called into a room for a one-on-one chat with Taylor.
“It was just one of the best feelings in the world,”Brooke gushed, ” to have a mutual discussion with Taylor about love and relationships.”
