After the listening party wrapped , fans were placed into groups for the meet-and-greet portion of the evening. While they waited, they could hang out in other rooms, meet new friends, and discuss the album they’d just heard for the first time. After LA and Nashville, fans started catching on to what was happening. A few days later, a then 15-year-old Paige Hettinger, now 24, found herself in Swift’s iconic New York City apartment.

Kyle Smith remembers getting a phone call from someone “stating they were from ‘taylorswift.com’” inviting him to a top-secret event that was happening in Providence, Rhode Island. “I almost didn't answer the phone because I didn't recognize the number but something told me I should pick it up,” says Smith, who was 21 when he got the invite.
