CREATOR SPOTLIGHT – TIFFANY (tiffanyandthecity13_)

July 29, 2024

TIFFANY 

My name is Tiffany Marie and I’m originally from Long Island, NY and I currently live in North Carolina. I am a big sports fan and love baseball, hockey and football. I have always dreamed of being a performer, in radio or on tv. I actually went on school for communications and had fun experiences working in that field when I was younger. I currently work in the medical field, but I have never and never will give up on going after my dream job! But, for now I enjoy traveling all around checking things off my “unfinished” New Kids and life bucket list.

Where to find Tiffany:

Tell us a bit about you

Hi, my name is Tiffany and I love fashion, music, going to concerts, 90’s and 2000’s nostalgia and all things NKOTB and of course, Jordan Knight!

When did you start your social media accounts?

My personal account I started around the time IG started, Twitter or X, I started because of Donnie Wahlberg back in the day haha.. My bestie and I started our own NKOTB page last year while traveling to see the band to be able to take everyone along on our journey with us!

What is it about the NKOTB for you?

Wow, this one is one that has many answers. To sum it up, they’re about happiness, dreams come true, friends that became family and an escape from every day life. As a little girl listening to them as the OG’s, I always wished I had got to see them live. Little did I know, not only would they reunite in 2008 and I would see them ever since, but if you told little Tiffany playing NKOTB “Happy Birthday” to herself each year that she would be where she is today with them, she never would believe you.

We know you’re a Jordan girl – tell us what it is about him

I am 100% a Jordan Girl 😉 – well, there’s the obvious reasons in his voice and how gorgeous he is. But, for me most of all it’s his personality both on and off stage. On stage I admire the incredible (and dramatic haha) performer he is night after night. Off stage I like his more laid back personality. I like that he’s not always in the spotlight and that he’s not social media anymore (I know, unpopular opinion) I love most of all that he’s always himself and doesn’t let anything change that. I love how sweet he is when you meet him and his sense of humor. As far as his perfect looks go.. his eyes and his smile are my favorite and I could listen to his voice all day long!

How many NKOTB concerts have you been to?

I honestly have never counted, but I’ve been going to every tour since the reunion, but would typically do my local shows. I did Fenway in 2021 and started traveling all over to see them since 2022, which included multiple cities of shows as well as most of the off tour events they did and the cruises.

How many diff states and areas?

To be more specific I’ve seen them in NY, California, North Carolina, Houston, Chicago, Atlanta, Ohio… this year I picked some new cities to see them in so I’d get to experience a new city plus see the show.

You’ve done cruises and meet and greets – tell us about them

The cruise is so much fun!!! No sleep (but that’s my choice too haha) but it’s 4 days of them, friends and non stop fun and excitement. Sail away is and always will be my favorite. Nothing like looking around seeing a ship filled with fans and friends and then when they come out, I just get chills!! Meet and Greets have always been a great experience for me. I always stand with Jordan and yes, still get to say hi and hug the rest of them. I’ve got to have cute quick chats with him and I’ve always loved how the pictures came out. I’ll never forget my first one, it was so great, but they also somehow keep getting better and better. The most recent cruise my M&G was the morning after I was on stage the night before, so it was fun getting to chat about that 🙂 I have my first ultimate meet and greet this summer and I am so extra excited for it! My advice to everyone who is doing their first M&G is be yourself, remember your name and have fun! Don’t overthink it!

Favorite NKOTB collectibles you have?

My “Jordan Jacket.” Not only do I absolutely love how it came out, but I got it during a difficult time in life and it brought me such hope and happiness. It has since traveled with me and brought me luck when I wear it. Plus now, it has even more meaning to me after I had it on while on stage with Jordan and the guys at the iheart album release party.

Would you pick NKOTB bedding or the sleeping bag?

The sleeping bag! I love the sleeping bag. My bestie and I actually put together a video of us both fitting it in (to re-enact how Jordan and Donnie tried to both fit in it at Blockcon) — I do love my pillow case though and it travels with me to hotels 🙂

Would you rather pick the NKOTB dolls or the NKOTB plush dolls?

Ohhh that’s a tough one! While I do love my plush dolls, I’d have to go with the Barbie style ones! (You may actually see them and us look like them coming up this summer 😉

Tell the world – or at least the Nostalchicks spotlight all about your on stage moment with Jordan Knight. We saw that media outlets covered it – what was that like?

Reading this question alone brings tears to my eyes. I sum it up by saying, my whole life I’ve always wanted to be a performer and a princess and that night I got to feel like both for a few minutes. It was so many dreams wrapped into one that a lot of people didn’t realize or know at the time. I’ve wanted to be on stage since I was about 3 years old (that I can remember) – getting to have that moment happen in that city, at the event it did, how it did and with who it did was just perfection. It was way more than even I could have dreamed it! To have him sing that song to me (a song I had a connection to before it even came out) on stage with cameras filming for iheart, plus getting to as some said make it a “duet” — words can’t even describe it. Nothing can ever top that moment for me. Watching it back, I love it just flowed together (being it was not rehearsed as many thought) it was all unplanned and a total shock. But being up there “performing” with him and how sweet he was during it and that hug at the end… I got off stage and put my head down and just burst into tears. It was the best moment of my life.

Since you’ve met them all – pick one word that would describe each one of them through your experiences

Danny- fun
Donnie- selfless
Jordan- perfect
Joe- funny
Jon- loveable

Which NKOTB album best describes you?

Thankful, it may not be which one is my all time favorite album, but the title says it all. Every single day I am thankful for the life I live and the experiences I have because of them and with them.

Top 5 NKOTB songs

1. A Love Like This
2. Close to You
3. Lights, Camera, Action
4. I’ll Be Loving You Forever
5. I Wanna Be Loved By You (That is not easy haha)

What are some of your other hobbies?

I love fashion and designing outfits/shopping. Editing pictures and videos for social media and marketing and travel planning. I’m a big planner! I’m always planning something 🙂

What other musicians do you like to listen to? Anything close to your NKOTB fandom?

Taylor Swift, Train, Kelly Clarkson, Celine Dion, Maroon 5 , Avril Lavigne. I still listen to all music from the 90’s and 2000’s to me nothing will compare.

One thing I have noticed is how fun the blockhead community is. Tell me about your experiences and why you feel it is such a special community to be apart of.

It really is unlike any other fanbase in my opinion. Everyone knows each other and is so welcoming. It’s been so much fun to get to know fans online and then meet them in person and experience these events with them. We all share such a strong common interest that it creates a bond between us all. The friends I have met through this fanbase I talk to every single day and some are more like family now. I can’t imagine my life without them. The love and support for each other is always something that’s so special and I learned that even more, more recently.

You also met your best friend through this community – what has that experience been like?

I did! I’m truly thankful every single day for her (and all my close friends) we started talking online and then finally got to meet in person the day before we boarded the ship for the 2022 cruise and we have been inseparable ever since. We are so alike and so opposite at the same time that it works so perfect. We both love to travel and are go getters. We will make it happen one way or another! We travel so well together and balance each other out. She’s the Danny to my Jordan 🙂 . I honestly don’t know how I did life before her and can never picture life without her. We talked every single day all day long (and we’re on opposite coasts haha) but we manage to see each other so much for people who live so far from each other. Friendship soul mates is a real thing and she is mine for sure. To have someone that’s always in your corner and supporting you and there for you is an amazing thing to have. Ps- she’s goin to kill me for this again, but she never cries where I am the one who always cries and she cried watching Jordan and I perform on stage and It made it even more special .

You both have a NKOTB social media account together. What sort of things do you share?

We do! We share our travel experiences to see the band and take everyone along on our journeys as well as post pics and video of the band at these events/shows. We go live from time to time to recap the experiences and also help try and promote and support fellow blockheads who have small businesses.

Anything else fun you’d like to share?

Hope everyone has a magical summer and I hope to see you on tour! If you see me, never hesitate to say hi! I am happy to meet everyone!

A phrase you would leave for a nostalchick
