Taylor Swift Lookalike, June Baker, Turns Resemblance into a Career Amidst Fan Co𝚗fusion
June Baker, a resident of Boston, Massachusetts, has found herself constantly approached by fans who mistake her for global superstar Taylor Swift due to their striking resemblance. The 36-year-old, with a tall and slender frame, signature blonde wavy locks, and iconic red lip, has turned her uncanny likeness into a career as a professional Taylor Swift impersonator.
Having attended birthday parties, weddings, and photoshoots, June has become more in demand than ever, especially with the success of Taylor Swift’s Eras tour. A self-proclaimed Swiftie, June expresses her love for the singer’s mystical and magical tracks like Willow, Wonderland, and the lakes.
Despite having been to only two of Taylor’s shows, June has collected an array of merch over the years, embracing the honor of being compared to the pop icon. She recounts being dubbed as Swift’s ‘Medieval Twin’ by the fantasy community during a visit to a Medieval Faire in Knoxville, Tennessee, where fans were convinced she was Taylor, possibly after shooting a music video.
June emphasizes her commitment to integrity, never attempting to tricƙ people in public, as she is aware of Taylor Swift’s value for her relationship with fans.
Her journey as a professional lookalike started when people on Instagram and TiƙToƙ noticed the resemblance, prompting her to capitalize on the similarity by venturing into the lookalike business.
Encouraged by a Britney Spears impersonator and attending the Sunburst Convention for celebrity lookalikes in Orlando, Florida, June sang ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ in front of agents, leading to numerous requests for her Taylor Swift impersonation.
Now working on meet and greets, photo ops, and collaborating with a vocal coach for live tribute shows, June aims to balance her own creativity while celebrating Taylor Swift’s pop icon status.
She acknowledges the occasional negativity and clarifies that impersonators are not trying to replace the artists they emulate. For June, it’s about making events brighter and more special for fans who appreciate the celebration of Taylor Swift’s influence.
