Call them the 'Era-Bnbs': Three Taylor Swift-inspired Airbnb rentals
A few years before Taylor Swift lit up Nissan Stadium with her Eras Tour, Michelle Basiorka was already dreaming of creating a Swiftie sanctuary in the heart of Nashville. "I was working full-time as a physical therapy assistant," Basiorka recalls. "But then I tore my shoulder and had to take a step back. That's when I decided to get my real estate license and started sketching out ideas for what I thought could be the ultimate fan space." In the spring of 2021, she found a property a stone's throw from the Gulch neighborhood. Over the next two years, she poured her energy into transforming the two-story townhome, carefully curating every detail to be Taylor-made. There is an @airbnb in Nashville completely decked out in eleven eras of @Taylor Swift. This is the @The Swiftie Shangri-La. #taylorswift #taylornation #erastour #swiftok #taylorsversion "Every item in the Airbnb is purposeful," Basiorka said. "The cups and mugs are featured in the 'Anti-Hero' music video. There's a gallery wall with pieces that are symbolic of some sort of lyric. There is a sparkly guitar table that's one-of-a-kind. My fiancé works in glass fabrication so he made the top and then the base is mirror balls. My sister and I literally made them by hand with mirror tiles, and each took 10 hours to make." The property is only one of a few examples of Airbnbs catering to Swifties, filling every nook with Easter eggs nodding to the singer's songs, concerts and eras. Basiorka painted her space a vibrant bubble gum pink. The main living room wall bursts with mementos, art and photos tied to the singer's vast discography. One piece instantly commands attention: a striking "White Horse" statue. Basiorka found the sculpture at a high-end thrift shop in Chicago, where it hung for decades as part of the store's decor. She paid $500 for the piece, but the sales worker couldn't get the art down and told her to come back the next day. "We call him 'Horse-lian' like porcelain," she said. "The artist who made it passed away a few years before, so this was one of the last remaining ones. When we showed up the next day, the actual owner told me he was going to honor the deal, but it wasn't supposed to be for sale." The garish patio is decorated with neon colors like it was pulled from Swift's "You Need To Calm Down" music video. One of the bathroom shower doors has art of the singer's cat, Meredith Grey, with her paw up next to the lyrics, "I think I'm finally clean." Fans can rent out the Swiftie Shangri-La here. The stars shined brighter in Dallas In a northeast suburb of Dallas, a brand-new "Erabnb" is open to fans. "I feel like the Eras Tour is almost a movement for Swifties," said host Summer Rogers. "I've always wanted to create not just an Airbnb, but an experience where Swifties can relive some of the magic from the tour." For the past six months, she converted three rooms inspired by her favorite Eras: "Lover," "Folklore" and "Midnights." The listing went live on July 13, a nod to Swift's favorite number. "I wanted to make an immersive experience," she said. "Each one has a vinyl record of that era. The 'Lover' room has all these pinks and blues, flowers and butterflies. The 'Midnights' room is midnight blue from floor to ceiling. The 'Folklore' room feels like a disco forest and really encapsulates the rustic feel of the album with elements of mirror balls." Fun neon signs of lyrics adorn the walls like "I act like it's my birthday everyday" and "to live for the hope of it all." Near the entryway is a guest book with an interactive Eras Tour movie poster, complete with magnetic cutouts for fans to pose with each version of Swift. "I hope fans, and Taylor, would see this as a legacy of the Eras Tour," Rogers says. "Swifties should favorite this listing to make sure they can find it later on." To book the Texan property, click here. Welcome to Era-zona Tucked near the Biltmore in Phoenix, the "Lavender Hayze Place" is a dreamy desert escape designed entirely with Swifties in mind. A post shared by Scottsdale Bachelorette Photographer (@scottsdalebridetribe) Guests can choose from bedrooms themed after iconic eras — "1989," "Reputation," "Folklore" and "Evermore" — each styled with era-specific details and décor. The two bathrooms pay tribute to "Fearless" and "Midnights," while the living room is bathed in "Lover" tones. A cheeky "breakup wall" features photos of the pop star's famous exes. There's even a glam station for getting ready, complete with a neon sign that declares, "And by the way, I'm going out tonight." Outside, the backyard glitters with disco balls.

Taylor Swift's dad is recovering from major heart surgery
Taylor Swift's father Scott has undergone major heart surgery. A spokesperson for the Blank Space singer has confirmed that Scott had quintuple bypass surgery last month and is now recovering from the procedure. Taylor, her brother Austin Swift and their mother Andrea Swift are said to have been by his side following the operation, which came after a routine check-up detected the problem with his heart. The Mayo Clinic states: "Coronary artery bypass surgery creates a new path for blood to go around a blocked or partially blocked artery in the heart. "The surgery (often) involves taking a healthy blood vessel from the chest or leg area. The vessel is connected below the blocked heart artery. The new path improves blood flow to the heart muscle." Taylor has often discussed the close relationship she has with her parents and revealed that her mother had been diagnosed with cancer in 2015. She wrote on social media site Tumblr at the time: "I'm writing to you with an update I wish I wasn't giving you, but it's important and I'm used to sharing important events in my life with you. "Usually when things happen to me, I process them and then write music about how I feel, and you hear it much later. This is something my family and I thought you should about now." The 35-year-old singer continued: "I'd like to keep details of her condition and treatment plans private, but she wanted you to know. She wanted you to know why she may not be at as many shows this tour. She's got an important battle to fight." Taylor also wrote a deeply personal essay when her mother's cancer returned in 2019 – which later led to the discovery of brain tumour during her treatment. The Anti-Hero singer wrote in Elle magazine: "It taught me that there are real problems and then there's everything else. My mom's cancer is a real problem. I used to be so anxious about daily ups and downs. "I give all of my worry, stress and prayers to real problems now." Taylor then shared that her father had been diagnosed with the disease previously, although did not give any further details. She wrote: "Both of my parents have had cancer."

Blake Lively and Taylor Swift's texts declared 'relevant' to Justin Baldoni lawsuit
Justin Baldoni's legal team will have access to messages between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift. The 37-year-old actress is suing her It Ends With Us co-star for harassment and accusing the director of creating a hostile work environment on set, which he has denied, while his countersuit accusing Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds of defamation was recently dismissed by Judge Lewis L. Liman. Now, E! News has reported that the New York judge has ruled texts between Lively and her friend are "relevant" to the case. However, any correspondence between the pair will be under a protective order to stop them being leaked to the press. In an order filed on Wednesday (18.06.25), the judge wrote: "Lively herself has identified Swift as someone likely to have knowledge about complaints or discussions regarding the working environment on the set of It Ends With Us. "Given that Lively has represented that Swift had knowledge of complaints or discussions about the working environment on the film, among other issues, the requests for messages with Swift regarding the film and this action are reasonably tailored to discover information that would prove or disprove Lively's harassment and retaliation claims." Baldoni and his team had previously tried to subpoena Swift, as he alleged she was used by Lively to gain more creative control over It Ends With Us. The Anti-Hero hitmaker's spokesperson claimed at the time that she was "not involved in any casting or creative decisions", and the order was withdrawn by Baldoni's attorneys. Although his countersuit was dismissed, it was noted Baldoni's legal team have until June 23 to amend claims of breach of implied contract and tortious interference with contract, if they want to. His attorney Bryan Freedman has stressed they still have things to fight for and will be amending their complaint. He told Us Weekly in a statement: 'While the Court dismissed the defamation-related claims, the Court has invited us to amend four out of the seven claims against Ms. Lively, which will showcase additional evidence and refined allegations. "This case is about false accusations of sexual harassment and retaliation and a nonexistent smear campaign, which Ms. Lively's own team conveniently describes as 'untraceable' because they cannot prove what never happened.' Following the judge's ruling, Blake vowed to keep fighting for other women. She wrote on Instagram: "Like so many others, I've felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us. "While the suit against me was defeated, so many don't have the resources to fight back. "I'm more resolved than ever to continue to stand for every woman's right to have a voice in protecting themselves, including their safety, their integrity, their dignity and their story."

The 'Anti-Hero' singer has obtained a temporary restraining order against a Colorado man who allegedly made repeated and disturbing visits to her Los Angeles residence while claiming they were in a relationship and shared a child.
