Naman Ramachandran London’s venerable Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) is getting with the times and seeking a Swiftie in the role of a “Superfan Advisor.” The British Swiftie, who will be on a zero hours part time contract, will be required to provide insights into fan culture and the memorabilia that Swift aficionados make and collect.
Swifties often exchange friendship bracelets at their idol’s concerts and the V&A said it is particularly interested in the craftwork that goes into these and also into the handmade signs seen at the events.
The role is one of several advertised by the 172-year-old institution, which is also calling for Superfan Advisors for Crocs footwear, drag, emojis and tufting, a technique for making warm clothes.
The selected candidates will join already hired Superfan Advisors in the fields of Lego, Pokemon cards, Gorpcore (where clothes designed for outdoor recreation are used as streetwear) and Toby jugs (pottery jugs in the form of a seated person).
