Are YOU a Taylor Swift superfan? This could be your dream job
She has the power to sway the US presidential election, helped save the American economy and made Grammy Award history this year.
Now the Victoria and Albert Museum has created a job for an official Taylor Swift expert.
The museum, in Kensington, west London, hopes to showcase memorabilia, handmade signs and merchandise associated with the pop star ahead of her upcoming European tour.
The lucky employee will hold the title of Taylor Swift Superfan Adviser and is expected to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the singer, with bosses wanting to give the job to a ‘studious Swiftie’.
It is one of nine new jobs the museum is introducing for superfans and collectors of Crocs, Pokemon cards, Lego, Emojis and Drag.

It comes after V&A-commissioned research revealed 44 per cent of Britons consider items in their own niche collections as worthy of a place in a museum.
V&A director Dr Tristram Hunt said: ‘These new advisory roles will help us celebrate and discover more about the enormous, and often surprising, creative diversity on offer at the V&A.’
