“Her name was Kitty, made her money being pretty and witty, they gave her the keys to this city,” she sings on the title track of the album, featuring Sabrina Carpenter.
During her appearance, Taylor discussed the music video for “The Fate of Ophelia,” which says “starring Kitty Finlay.”
“There’s a fictional character named Kitty in ‘The Life of a Showgirl,’ the song, that’s just this this character who you meet, she’s up on stage….I want to do what she’s doing. She inspires you and then when you meet her, she warns you against doing it, which I think is something that may have happened to anyone who said that they wanted to go into music. People who are in it will tell you how hard it is and how chaotic it can be and just how cutthroat, but if you love it enough, you’ll do it anyway and you’ll take what comes with it,” she explained.
“It’s also the name of my mom’s Great Dane…which is, you know, important to my mom, so it’s important to me. She’s absolutely the best. My mom, her mother is named Marjorie Finlay. That was my grandmother. So that’s where Finlay came from. And all signs lead back to my mom,” she added of her mom Andrea Swift.
