Taylor Ottawa.

1 October 2025

 

THE tribute show fortuitously lines up with the countdown to the release of Taylor Swift’s much-anticipated 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, which drops October 3rd.

 

“There’s a lot of buzz at the moment. We’re expecting audiences to be extra excited and engaged, and that’s great because it makes for really fun and memorable shows,” says producer Johnny Van Grinsven.

 

The production, which debuted just this year, has already toured to South Africa and Canada, with the Australian and New Zealand tours to round out 2025.

 

New Zealand singer-songwriter and recording artist, Josette – a self-confessed ‘Swiftie’ who bears a striking physical resemblance to Swift herself – will show off her skills as a multi-instrumentalist in the lead role, performing live on vocals, guitar and piano, accompanied by an international cast of musicians and dancers who will be recreating the most memorable moments from Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour, complete with all the famous sparkly costumes and cosmic stage production.

 

Touted as a ‘joyous and effervescent’ concert experience where fans are encouraged to dance and sing along, the show features over 20 exquisite renditions of Taylor’s biggest hits from every era of her career, including Shake It Off, Anti-Hero, Cruel Summer, You Belong With Me, Love Story, I Knew You Were Trouble, Blank Space, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, Bad Blood, Our Song, Lover and more.

 

Tickets are available now from Laycock Threatre and all ages are welcome (subject to venue policy). Purchase online at Laycock Street Community Theatre, Laycock Street Wyoming or telephone 4323 3233. Show starts at 7pm.
