Taylor Swift’s ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ Features Vancouver Eras Tour Crowd
The Canadian city was the final stop of Swift's record-breaking tour in December 2024, and now it's immortalized on her new album.
Vancouver makes an unexpected cameo on Taylor Swift's new album.
Last December, the mega pop star wrapped up The Eras Tour, after performing 149 shows over the course of 20 months — including Canadian stops in Toronto and Vancouver, where the tour concluded.
Now, those fans can hear themselves on her new album, The Life of a Showgirl.
The title track of Swift’s latest blockbuster project ends with her final address to the cheering crowd at the sold-out B.C. Place show.
In an introduction to the track on streaming services, Swift says she gets emotional hearing the crowd roar back, because being on the Eras Tour stage for the last time is a core memory for her.
“That always chokes me up because it transports me right back to that actual memory of standing on that stage for the last time on that tour that was so important to me and the tour that really inspired the album,” she shares.
The Sabrina Carpenter-featuring song tells the story of a fictional showgirl named Kitty, portrayed by Carpenter, who offers Swift's inspired character the harsh truth of being a woman in the entertainment industry.
“It’s kind of an ode to show business and women who move through those pitfalls and obstacle courses,” she says. “I thought who better to ask to be a part of this song than the ultimate showgirl, Sabrina Carpenter, and thankfully she said yes, and she’s absolutely incredible on this song.”
Swift performed three sold-out shows at the downtown Vancouver stadium after selling out Toronto's Rogers Centre for six nights in November.
“Tonight, we get to play one last show … and we’re gonna make it count,” Swift told the Vancouver audience, marking the city as the last to witness Swift’s global Eras Tour.
