Fall preparations are already underway, and in honor of the beginning of Cardigan season, Swifties get access to a maze modeled after Taylor Swift. Cruel Summer is almost over.
The MD Corn Maze in Gambrills, Maryland, is owned by Carol Paul of Anne Arundel County, and she went to remarkable measures to build it.
The paths among the corn are designed to resemble a number of the most prominent emblems and indications connected to the super star.
The eight-acre, Swift-inspired maze opened on September 14 and includes a 300-foot guitar, heart-shaped hands, and the album name, 1989, which is also the year of Swift’s birth.
It also includes two Polaroid photos, some musical notation, and 13, which is renowned as her favorite number.
Moreover, ‘MD Corn Maze Taylor’s Version’ is stated above.
Carol recently told WTOP News that her youngest son came up with the concept since his wife was a major popstar lover.
‘I started thinking, “My daughter-in-law would probably leave my son for Taylor Swift,”‘ Carol joked.
‘I mean, she loves Taylor Swift, and then I thought, “That’s who picks where to go on the weekends — the moms.” The girls pick where date night is.’
The maze master added that parents were always looking for activities to do with their kids, so why not add in some fun for them.
‘I was like, “Huh, that’s not a bad idea. Maybe we should do Taylor Swift.” So we kind of went with it,’ she shared.
Every year, the MD Corn Maze hosts an autumn festival with a new theme.
Carol and her husband, who have been running the maze since 2006, sketched up a design and sent it to The MAiZE, a maze-building firm, which assisted in finalizing the idea in order to create the Taylor-inspired maze.
Carol’s husband planted the corn in June, and after it grew to a height of about two inches, which takes a week or two, they mapped out the maze using GPS coordinates and spray paint.
‘We… weed kill the paths so that it comes out in the shape we want,’ Carol added.
‘We weed kill the paths continuously over and over again until the foot traffic comes — the guest — and they keep it down themselves.’
From September 14 through November 3, the Maryland Corn Maze is open on weekends and some weekdays. On the website, tickets are presently $17.95.
October 2 is set aside for a Taylor Swift tribute show, with tickets priced at $22.
There have already been other mazes carved in Taylor’s honor. A farmer in Rhode Island decided to greet Taylor in 2013 after she bought a house in the state by carving the words “Welcome Taylor” into a corn maze.
After learning that the pop singer had paid $17.75 million for her oceanfront holiday house in Westerly, the farmer, Richard Manfredi, mowed the huge message onto the eight-acre field along with a guitar.
