This Big Apple tour is Taylor-made.
A $36 tour launching next month in Manhattan will stop at Taylor Swift’s stomping grounds, including her former Greenwich Village apartment on Cornelia Street and the Lower East Side cocktail bar Banzarbar, where she celebrated her birthday in December.
The two-hour jaunt will be led by Brooklyn Swiftie Arielle Calderon, who won a hotly-contested competition to be named the Ultimate Swiftie Tour Guide that drew hundreds of applicants.
Calderon, 35, recalled the first time she saw Swift, 34, perform — in 2008, before she was a household name — at a chili cookoff in a park in Calderon’s native Florida.
“She was very young as was I. At the time, Taylor was a country artist. And she was onstage and she said something to the effect of, ‘If you ever piss me off, I’ll write a song about you,’ and I was like, ‘That’s my woman,’” said Calderon, a content creator who now lives in Dumbo.
The tour begins in August and will have around 13 stops, organizers said, noting that the Tribeca apartment of the stalker-plagued superstar will not be among them.
Stops will include Electric Lady Studios, where Swift recorded the song “The Black Dog” on her newest album “The Tortured Poets Department“; Housing Works Bookstore in SoHo, where she filmed a scene for “All Too Well: The Short Film“; and the High Line, which she mentions in her song “Cardigan” off her “Folklore” album.
The tour guide job search first involved submitting videos via social media, followed by a formal application and interview.
Calderon was prepared. She’s seen the “Welcome to New York” singer in concert 10 times, and even got to meet her during her Reputation tour in 2018.
“Oh my God, she was so nice,” she gushed. “I talked to her for 10 minutes, and I told her the story about how I saw her at the chili cookoff.”
The tour is run through a partnership with GetYourGuide, an online travel experience marketplace, and On Location Tours. Their search for the tour job role, which is a paid position, generated so much buzz it made it difficult to choose a winner.
“The excitement it generated among Swifties on social media was beyond our wildest dreams. When we launched the job search, hundreds of fans were tagging their friends to apply, and the overwhelming response made the decision incredibly tough,” said On Location Tours’ sales and marketing manager, Erin Miller.
“We knew that involving the ultimate Swiftie in the creation of this tour was the right move to deliver an authentic and personal experience,” added Madison Pietrowski, director of brand US at GetYourGuide, which also created a Swift tour in London.
The decision to skip Swift’s current home was deliberate.
“I respect her so much and I would never want her to be uncomfortable with this,” Calderon said.
In June, Seattle law student David Crowe was arrested for staking out at Swift’s Tribeca home 30 times.
Reps for Swift, who has not sanctioned the tour, did not reply to The Post’s request for comment.
Tour reservations can be made online when the link to do so is ready.
Calderon said if Swift does happen to take the tour, she would love to be her guide.
“I’m sure she knows New York so well now, I cannot imagine she would,” she said. “But I would be honored.”
