The Folklore Cabin: A Swiftie-Inspired Community Activation for a Cause
The Spark of an Idea
In the weeks leading up to Taylor Swift's Eras Tour wrapping up, Vancouver buzzed with anticipation.
Among the sea of fans was Tatiana Correa, a local self-proclaimed "Super Swiftie" with a heart as big as her vinyl collection.
But Tatiana wasn't content with just celebrating the tour's end—she wanted to create something immersive, unforgettable, and meaningful.
Rather than just another fan event, she envisioned something that could capture the enchantment of the Folklore era while giving back to the community—
a pop-up experience that brought Swifties together for good.
From Vision to Reality-
in Just 7 Days
Turning a dream into a full-blown immersive activation in under a week is no easy feat. But Tatiana leaned on Vancouver's creative community, activating her network to bring the Folklore Cabin to life.
With support from Jason and CHARLEMAIN PRODUCTIONS LTD, a venue was secured. Hudson Properties' Bentall Centre stepped in as the host location, while The Flat Factory Fabrication helped build the structure that would transport fans into the dreamy, woodsy world of Folklore.
Adding momentum was the enthusiastic backing of Destination Vancouver and the Yaletown BIA, with Executive Director Annette O'Shea championing the initiative and helping connect the dots.
Despite the tight timeline, the Folklore Cabin was constructed, curated, and launched—all in just seven days.
An Enchanted Experience
with Real Impact
The Folklore Cabin wasn't just an aesthetic tribute—it was a place of community, creativity, and compassion. Swifties lined up to step into the cozy, misty cabin-inspired space filled with nods to Taylor Swift's Folklore era. There were interactive moments, photo ops, fan art installations, and even handwritten notes of kindness.
But most importantly, it had a purpose. Thanks to generous donations, ticketed access, and partner contributions, the activation raised close to $25,000 for the BC Children's Hospital Foundation—a testament to what can happen when fandom meets philanthropy.
