A Taylor Swift-themed cruise took a tragic turn on Tuesday night when a 66-year-old woman fell overboard. The incident occurred about 17 miles north of Nassau in the Bahamas, while the Royal Caribbean ship, Allure of the Seas, was sailing from Miami. A spokesperson for the U.S. Coast Guard confirmed the event, revealing that the woman plunged into the ocean around 9:40 PM.
Efforts to locate the missing woman involved both the Royal Bahamas Defense Force and the U.S. Coast Guard, utilizing helicopters and airplanes. Despite their search, the woman remains unaccounted for. The cruise, filled with Swift’s devoted fans, was intended to be a celebratory event for her followers but has now become a nightmare for those on board.
It’s unclear if the missing woman was part of the group of “Swifties” or if she was traveling with a separate group. Notably, Taylor Swift herself was not involved in this themed cruise event. Royal Caribbean expressed their commitment to supporting the woman’s family and cooperating with authorities.
The cruise, which had initially been marked by fans enjoying festivities related to the pop star’s career, now faces an uncertain and somber ending as search efforts continue.
