Taylor Swift Exhibit Comes to Newark's GRAMMY Museum Experience

NEWARK, NJ – Ever since she taking the country by storm less than a decade ago by becoming the youngest person in history to win the music industry’s highest honor with Album of the Year (Fearless, 2009), Taylor Swift, the 10-time Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, producer and musician has stolen the hearts of millions of fans.

For those Taylor Swift super fans, the new Taylor Swift Experience, which launched on Friday at the Prudential Center’s GRAMMY Museum Experience™ is a must-see.

The interactive exhibit will be on display through the Summer of 2018 and was curated by the GRAMMY Museum L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles. It features a variety of items including:

• Clothing pieces from her many music videos, including her Queen of Snakes dress from “Look What You Made Me Do,” her hallway look from “…Ready For It?” and the iconic dress from “Teardrops On My Guitar”
• Costumes from Swift’s The RED Tour, The 1989 World Tour and GRAMMY performances from 2013 and 2016
• Red carpet dresses, including the Versace bandeau top and long skirt from the 2016 GRAMMYs, and the J. Mendel cream dress from the 2013 GRAMMY red carpet

• Handwritten lyrics from Taylor’s hits, including “22,” “White Horse,” “Teardrops On My Guitar,” and “Welcome To New York”
• Instruments such as Taylor’s sparkle guitar from both Fearless and Speak Now tours; the banjo played during her 2012 GRAMMY performance; and the 12-string acoustic koa guitar from her Speak Now World Tour
• Props from Swift’s The RED Tour, including her red bedazzled microphone, red microphone stand, and camera from “The Lucky One”

• Early childhood keepsakes such as her brown leather riding saddle, framed photo of the Swift family at Fort Wilderness resort, newspaper clipping about Taylor’s performance at the Philadelphia 76ers game in 2001, and her original press kit

Swift has been recognized by Rolling Stone as one of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All-Time. Last year, Swift was featured on Time Magazine’s prestigious 2017 Person of the Year Cover and was named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World.

“One of things I’m most fascinated about with this exhibit is that it highlights Taylor’s trajectory in her career from the humble beginnings to where she is today,” said Rashida Cruz, executive director of the GRAMMY Museum Experience at the Prudential Center. “It’s a great testament for youth and just for encouraging them as we do a lot of programming and educational programs to tie into the overall experience.”

Tickets to visit the GRAMMY Museum ExperienceTM Prudential Center range from $7 to $10 and can be purchased through Ticketmaster.com. The Experience is open Tuesday through Sunday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on non-event days and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on event days.
