A 66-year-old woman fell off the Allure of the Seas cruise ship. According to authorities, she fell overboard at around 9:40pm on Tuesday.

A search and rescue operation was immediately launched to find the missing passenger, according to a Royal Caribbean spokesman, who also said the company was providing support and assistance to the victim’s family at this difficult time.

The U.S. Coast Guard has been called in to support the planes and helicopters involved in the search operations.

The “In my cruise era” cruise began on October 21, one day after the singer’s concert series during her three-day stay in Miami for The Eras Tour.

The cruise, which is not affiliated with Taylor Swift, was organized by travel agents Jessica Malerman, Nicole Rivera and Shelby Reyes of Marvelous Mouse Travels, who promised an experience entirely devoted to the artist’s universe.

Search operations for the missing woman were continuing at the time of writing.
