The 66-year-old woman fell overboard from Allure of the Seas around 9:40 p.m. Tuesday, 17 miles north of Nassau, Bahamas, the U.S. Coast Guard said in a statement to FOX Business. The federal agency assists the lead agency, the Royal Bahamas Defense Force.

The ship is filled with “Swifties” on a Taylor Swift-themed cruise, TMZ reports.

The outlet claims cruise passengers paid $1,573 for double-occupancy rooms and were going to receive gift bags containing Swift-themed goodies. The artist appeared for two performances in Miami this weekend.

The Coast Guard used “an HC-144 aircraft crew and a Dolphin MH-65 helicopter crew, both from Miami Air Force Base to assist in the search.”
