Her job was Taylor-made.
A 26-year-old Swiftie created a full-time career as a Taylor Swift influencer — and can make a pretty penny for just one social media post.
“It ranges, sometimes it’s $1,000, but sometimes it’s like $10,000,” “Swiftfluencer” Olivia Levin told The Post.
The Connecticut native, who runs the Instagram account @SwiftiesForEternity, has partnered with brands like Sweet Loren’s vegan cookies, the greeting card company Papyrus, and celebrity jacket designer Jeff Hamilton — who all hope to attract her 629,000 followers from around the world.
Upon graduation from Fairfield University, Levin moved to Nashville, and as fate would have it, was laid off from her job in book publishing just after the Eras Tour kicked off in 2023 — and her account “started to blow up.”
“At a certain point, I stopped looking for 9 to 5 jobs because I met my brand partnerships agent who started getting me brand deals,” she explained.
She even boosted her income by helping Swifties desperate to see an Eras Tour show secure tickets –without getting scammed by sites like Stubhub, which hiked the price of $150 ducats to a stunning $5,000.
“People who had extra tickets or couldn’t make it any more would message me and I would verify the tickets and post them and help them transfer it to another fan at face value,” she said.
“I was getting so many ticket submissions that it was taking me all day to verify all the tickets. I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is like a job now. I can’t keep doing this for free.’”
The savvy superfan then partnered with a subscription platform, which fans paid $3 a month to join, and took home a percentage of the profits.
She also scored a book deal during the tour — which became the highest-grossing of all time with more than $2 billion in earnings.
Her labor of love, “The Story of Us: How The Taylor Swift Fandom Changed Our Lives,” which is part memoir, part Swiftie history, was released this week.
In the book, she recalled getting an invitation to visit Swift’s $17.75 million Rhode Island mansion to hear her “Reputation” album ahead of its release.
“We pulled into the parking lot. There’s a couple vans and Taylor’s team and some other Swifties, and they take all of our belongings, our phones, everything, and we just get into the van,” she said.
Once they got to the house, Swift’s parents, Scott and Andrea, and her brother, Austin, mingled with the group until Taylor appeared in the living room.
“I was 17, so I was a little bit starstruck. I was like, ‘I love your perfume. What is it?’ And she was like, ‘Oh, it’s Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. But the house scent is Tom Ford Santal Blush,’” Levin fondly recalled.
The starlet then offered to pose with Levin for a photo — even letting her hold one of her Grammys.
“She just casually hands me her 1989 Album of the Year Grammy. And it’s heavy, and I told her that. And she was like, ‘Yeah, it’s heavier than you would think, right?’”
Her Instagram account also has a charitable component, so when Swift visits a children’s hospital, Levin posts GoFundMe links to help those patients — and many of her followers donate in increments of $13, Swift’s favorite number.
“For one, we raised over $50,000 in a day,” she said. “We raised so much money for so many families and so many sick kids. I don’t think there’s any other fandom like that,” she said.
Two fans even found love on Levin’s page.
“They were just conversing in my comment section, and I guess one of them DM’d the other and then boom. They were visiting each other in different countries,” she said.
“He actually messaged me the other day and told me they just celebrated their two year anniversary.”
