Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter Collaborate on "The Life of a Showgirl"
3 Oct
Summary
- Swift and Carpenter join voices on the title track of Swift's latest album
- The song tells the story of a woman named Kitty, a showgirl
- Carpenter has long idolized Swift, and the collaboration is a big moment for her
In October 2025, Taylor Swift released her 12th studio album, which includes a collaboration with singer Sabrina Carpenter on the title track "The Life of a Showgirl." The mid-tempo pop song tells the story of a woman named Kitty, who "made her money being pretty and witty."
Swift and Carpenter join voices as they embody Kitty, crooning about the life of a showgirl. As the song closes, Swift intones, "Give it up for the band, the dancers, and, of course, Sabrina," to which Carpenter responds, "I love you, Taylor!"
This marks the first time the two artists have collaborated, though Carpenter has long idolized Swift. In 2009, she delivered a passionate rendition of Swift's "Picture to Burn" on YouTube, and the two previously shared the stage during Swift's Eras Tour in 2024. Now, Carpenter's feature on Swift's latest album is a significant milestone in her own career, as she has expressed her deep admiration for the superstar, saying, "I hold her to such a different echelon. I could never compare my life, my career, my trajectory to anything close to what she's done."
