Imagine the exhilaration of being invited to the Beverly Hills mansion of Taylor Swift to meet the pop singer and preview her latest album.

In October, Swift gathered about 70 devoted fans in her California home to hear her latest album, “Reputation.”

Paige Lorentzen, events and marketing coordinator of the Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce for the past two years, was among them.

“I’m a huge fan,” said Lorentzen, who has followed Swift’s career for more than 10 years. “I have always wanted to meet her.”

Secret Swift listening sessions first began in 2014, and have become a tradition at her London, Nashville, New York City and Westerly, R.I. homes.

The invitation came from the Taylor Nation management team through a social media Tumblr on the Thursday before the event.

Invited fans, called “Swifties,” were told to assemble at 5 p.m., Sunday evening, Oct. 22, at a specific Los Angeles hotel. Getting to Los Angeles was at their expense.

Lorentzen cut short a weekend trip to Denver, returned to Arizona and drove with her mother to California. She was told not to tell anyone where she was headed.

“It was blind trust,” recalled Lorentzen, who was thrilled that she was actually going to meet Swift.

She signed a non-disclosure statement that she would not talk about the album song track before its release about three weeks later.

Vans transported the group, including three fans who flew in from Australia, to Swift’s historic home, an estate once owned by legendary film producer Samuel Goldwyn. Over the years, it has hosted screen legends like Clark Gable, Marlene Dietrich and Charlie Chaplin.

Arriving at the house around sunset, guests were ushered into a pool area overlooking Los Angeles. An array of food, pizza, sushi, M&Ms and cookies decorated with the album initials “REP,” and beverages were served for about an hour and a half before they went inside to the living room.

Swift made her entrance wearing camo-print cargo pants, black tank top and black boots. Swift said “this is the most favorite part of my job…meeting fans.” She said she enjoyed rewarding them for supporting her.

She introduced some friends, including actress Ruby Rose of “Orange is the New Black,” musician Alana Haim and Jack Antonoff, a musician and co-producer of the album.

Swift played the 15 musical selections from the album on her cell phone, amplified, through speakers. In between songs, she talked about the motivation to write the song and answered questions.

Standing in line for a one-on-one meet and greet, Swift greeted Lorentzen by yelling “It’s Paige.”

“I was blown away that Taylor Swift knew my name.” Swift said she had followed the guests on social media for more than a year.

Portions of their conversation are now a blur, said Lorentzen, but they mostly talked about the album. When Lorentzen expressed her belief that it was Swift’s best album, “she did a little happy dance.”

“There’s nothing phony about her. She looked you in the eye when she talked.

I’m a fan of her music but I think I’m even more of a fan of her as a person. She’s genuine and a great role model for women,” said Lorentzen.

“She’s much more beautiful in person,” she added.

Lorentzen and Swift share similar attributes. Both are 5’10” tall; blonde hair and blue eyes. Lorentzen is 25 years old; Swift, 28.

When Swift opens her “Reputation” national tour May 8 in Glendale, Lorentzen will be in the audience. She purchased three tickets on the lower level for $160 each through Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan program.

The program uses a metric called “boost activities” that rewards fans for interacting with the artist’s work by watching her latest video on YouTube or purchasing her album or merchandise. More boosts equal a higher place in a virtual line at buying tickets, and the more money one spends on Swift’s music and products, the better place in line one can secure.

The system is designed to reduce scalpers reselling tickets at high markups. One resale website is selling fifth row center seats for $4,678.
