Uni lecturer gets 'Swiftie' fandom role at V&A

Description

A university lecturer from West Yorkshire has beaten more than 1,000 other Taylor Swift superfans to help create an exhibition at a top London museum celebrating the pop music star.

Dr Iona Murphy, an English literature lecturer at Huddersfield University, answered a call from the Victoria & Albert (V&A) in London to advise on Taylor Swift fandom and the singer-songwriter's ongoing Eras Tour in the UK.

Dr Murphy was one of just four "Swifties" chosen for the role, and her insights have helped inform a collection dedicated to the superstar currently on display at the V&A

She said the experience had been "incredible", adding: "It was an absolute dream come true."
