I’m the ultimate Taylor Swift tribute act – I’m booked up for months and people all over the UK want me
Amy had no idea she'd make the perfect Taylor Swift.
A TAYLOR Swift tribute act hopes the pop star never goes out of Style - as she’s booked up for months.
Dancer and personal trainer Amy Espie, 30, was convinced to audition as the superstar and has been inundated with bookings while the Love Story singer, 34, continues her epic Eras tour.

The Swift lookalike, from Coatbridge, said: “I did a couple of demo tapes and we thought I sounded quite like her. We got a wig and it all just kind of seemed to fall into place.
“The demand has been crazy and I have bookings well into next year.”
She added: “The days can be long but when you get on stage and you see all the kids’ faces and how much they’re enjoying it, it just totally takes any of the stress of the job away.
“I’ve taken singing lessons since I was five and I went to dance college so there has been a lot of preparation in becoming well-rounded, confident and capable enough to fulfil the role.”
Amy, whose act is called Totally Taylor and is managed by Glasgow based Tribute Act Entertainment reckons she can channel her inner star even more after seeing the singer perform at Murrayfield this summer.
The entertainer gushed: “She was on the stage for three hours and her energy never died, she was incredible. It was a big motivator.
“I think the Swifties are honestly insane with their knowledge of Taylor. They are die hard fans and they could probably teach me a lot, but I’ve been watching a lot of her videos and picked up her mannerisms and how she performs on stage and I’m more into how she is as a performer rather than how she is in her personal life.”
Amy has custom outfits made to fit each theme of the megstar’s music and goes above and beyond to replicate the record breaking musician.

Amy revealed: “The outfits are iconic to her and actually play a really important role in the show. Each outfit is represented by an era of her music.
“But the wig, her iconic eyeliner and red lipstick - those are the three key things.”
