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.

A prelicensed therapist who had been practicing in Bow, N.H., was arrested Monday based on an allegation that he sexually assaulted a patient during an in-office visit, police said.
Daniel Thibeault, who faces two counts of felonious sexual assault and one count of aggravated felonious sexual assault, is being held at the Merrimack County jail pending his arraignment, according to a statement from the Bow Police Department.
Thibeault had been a candidate for licensure who was subject to a supervisory agreement since May 2024, according to state records. His arrest comes after the presiding officer of the New Hampshire Board of Mental Health Practice suspended his privileges to practice in the state in late December, citing the alleged assault.
Bow police had notified the state’s Office of Professional Licensure and Certification in early December that Thibeault was accused of sexually assaulting the patient despite her “audible demands to stop,” according to an order signed by an administrative law judge.
The incident was reported to Bow police in August, prompting an investigation by Detective Sergeant Tyler Coady that led to a warrant being issued for Thibeault‘s arrest, police said.
Efforts to reach Thibeault for comment were unsuccessful Monday. It was not immediately clear whether he has an attorney.
Police said the investigation is considered active and ongoing. Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact Coady at 603-223-3956 or tcoady@bownhpd.gov.

The GameStop store at Fort Eddy Plaza will close this week as the struggling chain closes at least 80 of its stores across the country, including those in Claremont and West Lebanon.
The Concord store will be open Tuesday and Wednesday but will shut after that, the company said in an announcement.
Once the world’s largest retailer of video games with more than 3,200 stores around the world, including more than 2,000 in the United States, GameStop has seen sales fall for years as online gaming has grown. The chain closed some 400 stores last year.
GameStop gained attention in 2021 for reasons not associated with its core business: It was targeted by short sellers and become one of several high-profile “meme stocks” whose price skyrocketed due to attention from a small number of social media influencers, sometimes through pictorial memes pushing for a “short squeeze” to generate large profits at the expense of short sellers and hedge funds.
