A Taylor Swift tribute act has taken the internet by storm thanks to her amazing likeness to the iconic pop star.
At Canobie Lake Park in Salem, New Hampshire, the singer who goes by the name June (Taylor's Version) has been wowing visitors with her take on the iconic performances from the Eras Tour.
Alexa De Masse, from Pepperell, Massachusetts, was visiting earlier this month when she was amazed by the performance and shared some moments on TikTok, where the video has been viewed millions of times.
"This was my first time going alone, and my number one thing to do was to see the Tribute to Taylor show," De Masse told Newsweek.
"I did know the Taylor tribute show was there, and was expecting a huge crowd, so I was surprised that people were mainly sitting and not dancing around. Truthfully, I was star-struck when I saw June. I knew she wasn't really Taylor Swift, but I was sitting in the front row and couldn't believe how much she looked and sounded like Taylor."
Across TikTok, videos of June (Taylor's Version) have been shared and reposted, impressing Swifties.
"I was approached by the producer who leads production on Canobie Park tribute shows," June told Newsweek. "I'd only been starting to get into tribute work when a mutual contact put us in touch back in January 2024.
"Canobie has been known for many years as a host to incredible tribute acts. Getting to be part of their legacy is such an honor. I've been a fan of Taylor's music for a really long time now, so it genuinely is a privilege to get to perform her songs and share that joy with others."
A former dancer, cheerleader, show choir member and theater kid, June has loved dusting off her performance skills and getting back on stage: "I am both overwhelmed and flattered by the positive reception our humble show has garnered," she said.
Since going viral online, people have been coming from far and wide to see the show at Canobie Lake, even traveling from out of state to see the act.
Chris Nicoli, Canobie Lake Park's brand manager told Newsweek: "Our Tribute to Taylor runs daily (except Tuesdays) from June 22 through September 2, 2024. The performance is approximately 30 minutes, with the first two performances daily also holding a meet and greet with guests. We are proud to bring the tribute to their music in the spirit of their performance for families throughout the Northeast to enjoy."
While the real Taylor Swift is still set to play a number of dates before closing her worldwide Eras Tour, tickets are mostly sold out and prices for those still on sale are high.
De Masse said that she couldn't recommend the show enough for those looking for an alternative: "It's the closest to the Eras Tour that I'll get because ticket prices are wild. June does a meet and greet after the show, and her talking voice naturally sounds like Taylor's too. She was so sweet."
