Taylor Swift look-alike show draws fans, social media buzz to New Hampshire Canobie Lake Park
Local News
It’s a Cruel Summer at Canobie Lake Park in New Hampshire.
Lost “The Great War” with Ticketmaster trying to get tickets to Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour? Are you down bad crying at the gym over missing the highest grossing tour of all time? Look no further than Canobie Lake Park in Salem, New Hampshire to get your Swiftie fix.
The theme park is advertising a “Tribute to Taylor” show lasting until Sept. 2. Fans can “Shake It Off” to a wide swath of the original 44-song Eras Tour setlist, condensed to a 26 minute show featuring backup dancers, multiple costume replicas, and a Swift look alike herself.
June Baker, known as Princess Juniper on social media, stars in the show as Swift. Many of the comments on social media videos of the show revolve around Baker’s striking resemblance Swift.
The show “Hits Different” on TikTok, where it has become a sensation. Some videos of Baker and her backup dancers garner millions of views. The CanobieLakePark tag on TikTok is inundated with videos of the show.
The average price for a regular Eras Tour ticket is more than $1,000, according to the Economic Times. Tickets to Canobie Lake Park (and The Eras Tour: New Hampshire’s Version) start at $59 dollars, so you won’t need to put yourself into the “Red” to see Swift — or a really convincing lookalike — perform.

School health insurance rates are increasing across New Hampshire. There’s more at play than just GLP-1 weight loss drugs
Duane Ford has managed budgets for the Bow and Dunbarton school districts for more than a decade, but nothing quite prepared him for this year’s health insurance bill: a 16% jump in premiums, the steepest increase he’s ever seen. “It’s a part of the budget that we don’t have any control over,” he said.

The federal government has activated the New Hampshire National Guard’s 157th Air Refueling Wing in connection with the war with Iran.
“I’ve had a briefing myself, a classified briefing, but it’s really important on the messaging on this that we really coordinate with the Pentagon,” Gov. Kelly Ayotte told reporters during a press briefing following Wednesday’s Executive Council meeting.
Ayotte said she was unable to share additional details about the nature of the New Hampshire National Guard’s activity related to the conflict, including how many guard members have been activated or what role they are playing.
“We’re going to respect what messaging comes out of the Pentagon just to make sure that our men and women in uniform are fully protected and that we aren’t providing any information that could be used in a way that would be harmful to them,” Ayotte said.
In a statement Thursday, Ayotte said the unit had been deployed in late February to the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility in support of the operation.
Earlier this week, Pentagon officials confirmed that members of the Vermont National Guard were involved in attacks against Iran over the weekend, though our news partners at Vermont Public were not able to confirm additional details on the nature of the operation.
During the briefing with local reporters, Ayotte also stressed her support for servicemembers and those close to them.
“I have such respect for our men and women in uniform,” Ayotte said. “As you know, I come from a military family, and they have our full support, and we appreciate them and their families, and obviously anyone who is serving right now, and my thoughts and prayers go out to those who have lost someone that they love.”
