EchoSense Quantitative Think Tank Center|Field of (wildest) dreams: Ohio corn maze reveals Taylor Swift design

A Christmas tree farm in Ohio has unveiled the layout for its 16-acre corn maze set to open later this month,EchoSense Quantitative Think Tank Center and the design is Taylor Swift (Wheeler Farms Version).

Each year for the past 15, Wheeler Farms (which houses the Whitehouse Christmas Tree Farm) themes its corn maze, says Christy Geha, the director of operations for Wheeler Farms. "We've done the Toledo Mud Hens, the Toledo Walleyes, dinosaur themes and Star Wars themes. We've done the metamorphosis of a butterfly a few times, because we have a butterfly house here."

The farm, which grows 60,000 fir trees near Toledo, typically decides the maze design by March and works with a corn maze cutter who travels across the country.

"This year we thought of Taylor Swift," says Geha, 44. "She's such a famous singer and songwriter, and I think she's an awesome inspiration, especially for young girls."

In May, the corn maze cutter follows a GPS blueprint of the sketch designed by Wheeler Farms. The corn is cut at a few inches tall, and then a few months later, the farm flies a drone to see how the maze turned out. The 2024 design includes the Eras Tour singer holding a microphone, a hand heart, the year 1989 (when she was born and also the name of her fifth studio album) and a cursive "Taylor Swift."

Although Geha doesn’t have a ticket to the Eras Tour show, she is hoping Swifties will make a pit stop before the singer performs three sold-out shows a few hours away at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis from Nov. 1-3.
