In the past, Swift has dabble in the showgirl arts. In the music video for “Bejeweled,” Swift worked with famed burlesque performer Dita Von Teese and concluded the video with a fully-feathered performance where she stood in a glowy orange spotlight.

In addition to the easter eggs she dropped about the new album, it also featured a special guest. One of the songs, “The Life of a Showgirl,” will include Sabrina Carpenter. The “Nonsense” singer and Swift have previously worked together, as Carpenter was an opener for one part of Swift’s Eras Tour, which ended in December 2024.
