The relationship between UPS and Taylor Swift dates back more than a decade. On June 3, 2006, sixteen-year-old Taylor Swift and a few others gathered around boxes and boxes containing copies of her first single "Tim McGraw." There was a stack of UPS labels on the coffee table printed with the addresses of radio stations across America who would hear her song for the first time. UPS delivered those packages in 2006 and now, eleven years later will be delivering her new album to dedicated fans.
“We’re so pleased to be a trusted partner once again,” Gutmann added.
UPS employees around the world can participate in the excitement through an exclusive program outlined on the employee portal, designed to showcase the past and present connection between UPS and Taylor Swift.
