Taylor Swift-inspired Airbnb in New Jersey welcomes Swifties of all eras
Whether you’re from the Garden State or not, anyone can be in their South Jersey era now and live their fandom to the fullest, thanks to a Taylor Swift-inspired Airbnb.
The Airbrb home, aptly dubbed the “Swift Suite at Evermore Estate,” is located in Absecon, New Jersey, just under 15 minutes from the bright lights of Atlantic City.
The owners of the Swift Suite at Evermore Estate bought the home earlier this spring and partnered with an Airbnb host who suggested they turn the house into a Swifties’ paradise.
“We knew with the Airbnb being located in Absecon we needed a way to attract guests and stand out from other Airbnb locations in Atlantic City and neighboring beach towns,” said Kyle Tress, one of the homeowners.
The “Enchanted” Airbnb is home to four bedrooms with designs inspired by Swift’s “Fearless,” “Folklore,” “Lover” and “1989” albums. The living room has a “Timeless” feel that blends modern and cozy vibes with Swiftie-style décor including a Taylor Swift-themed wall clock, cowboy boots paying homage to her country music roots, a display of colorful acoustic guitars each matching a different era of her career, an album cover photo wall, a record-player with the singer’s vinyl records and a photo of her 2014 Rolling Stone cover.
“We wanted to create a space that celebrates the magic of Taylor Swift while providing an unforgettable experience for friends and families to gather together to make memories for a lifetime,” said Krista Baum, the Airbnb host.
Beyond the living room and bedrooms, nods to the Berks County native can be spotted in the kitchen and dining area, which have Easter eggs from the Eras Tour and a typewriter likely inspired by the popstar’s latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”
The home has even more Easter eggs outside, like in the backyard bar area where a “Black Dog Bar” sign hangs in reference to a track off “The Tortured Poets Department.” The bar also showcases multiple framed photos headlined by some fan-favorite ballads like “The Black Dog,” “The Archer” and “Lover.”
The Airbnb offers multiple amenities too, such as a grill pavilion with an outdoor television, a pool house with a wet bar and a basketball court, for sporty Swifties.
But would a superfan-themed home be complete without a selfie station? Yup, the Swift Suite has a lifesize cutout of the Grammy award-winner and a flower wall that guests can pose near to capture the perfect Instagram photo.
Make your stay in South Jersey one filled with “Style.” The Swift Suite at Evermore Estate is now open for reservations.

New Jersey E-ZPass stickers could arrive soon

Out with the old, in with the new. E-ZPass is getting an upgrade.
New Jersey Turnpike may be saying bye-bye to the E-Z Pass device as they assess some new technology for the electronic toll paying service.
According to News12, the agency is testing a new sticker with a digital chip on their own vehicles that would replace the white plastic transponder mounted to windshields.
“We are planning to put the stickers in Turnpike Authority fleet vehicles for an informal test run. That will happen pretty soon,” said Tom Feeney, an authority spokesperson. “If there aren’t any issues, we plan to make them available to NJ E-ZPass customers.”
Officials say the stickers could be rolled out to drivers by the end of the year if the test run is successful.
This new method would potentially save the authority millions of dollars since the sticker tags don’t require batteries.
So far Massachusetts is the most recent state to change. On March 1 drivers received a small E-ZPass sticker to put on their windshield.
The new sticker transponder has an RFID chip embedded in them that’s read by the overhead toll gantries.
The current transponders, which MassDOT gives out to new customers for free, costs the state $6.70 each while the new stickers cost 55 cents, Massachusetts Department of Transportation Administrator Jonathan Gulliver told WBUR.

From Belmar to Asbury Park, here’s why NJ goes all-in for St. Patrick’s Day
I almost take the celebration of St. Patrick’s Day and the celebration of my Irish heritage for granted. I said almost.
I am fortunate to ride in New Jersey’s largest St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the Belmar-Lake Como St. Patrick’s Day Parade, which will now run on Saturday, March 28, 2026. It was postponed because of the Jersey Shore snowstorm that dumped a couple of feet of snow.

I am also fortunate to serve as the Grand Marshall in 2015 and continue to ride in the Asbury Park St. Patrick’s Day Parade, which will step off this Sunday, March 8, 2026, at 1 p.m.

Just those parade experiences alone are filled with so many people lined up to catch the parades, the pipes and drums, the marchers, along with having fun and enjoying the experience.

There are many other parades up and down the Jersey Shore and all over New Jersey celebrating the wearing of the green.
There are a considerable number of exceptionally good Irish pubs, bars, and restaurants sprinkled all over the Garden State. A fan favorite is Irish dancers and Irish music at big venues like the Count Basie in Red Bank.
Highlands St.Patrick’s Day parade
All those festivities and the celebration have made New Jersey the number one state in the country for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day.
According to new data released by BETMGM, the company analyzed Google Trends search data across categories such as alcohol and drinkware, green clothing, costumes, party supplies, Irish artists, Irish music, and miscellaneous topics over the past three years.

The data showed that New Jersey still grew with celebration intensity. As a result, New Jersey claimed the top shillelagh in the country. Indiana, Iowa, Georgia, and Illinois fared well, too.
I found it interesting that Irish music has gained the biggest leap in popularity with an 82% of all states compared to the previous two years.

Alcohol and drinkware are on the down trend along with green clothing and costumes on a national basis.
New Jersey likes to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, it is a celebration of unwinding, having a little fun and enjoying the atmosphere of the great New Jersey tradition. Enjoy, see you in the parades.
