Swifties tune in at Las Vegas resort’s ‘Life of a Showgirl’ party
Updated October 3, 2025 - 10:23 am
Swifties turned up in big numbers as The Westgate Las Vegas rolled out “the rhinestone carpet” for a Taylor Swift party Friday night.
At the Cabaret at the Westgate, the property hosted an immersive experience for her new album, “The Life of a Showgirl.” The event — free for all ages — featured a first full listen of the album, themed cocktails, showgirl decor, Instagram photo opportunities, a fan costume contest with prizes and a second album playback for fans to catch any Easter eggs.
Showgirls are synonymous with Las Vegas, of course.
The city of Las Vegas’ official IG account even weighed in with a video of Swift in front of the showgirls sign leading to the Arts District. “The Life of a Showgirl. Wait, is this play about us?” That’s a line pulled from the catchphrase in HBO’s “Euphoria,” Kats! wrote when the album details dropped.
Next up, Swift at Sphere? We’ll keep our eyes out.
