Swifties Unite! Massive Taylor Tribute Returns To Joburg
Joburg Theatre is set to welcome a throng of ‘Swifties’ next month when the unofficial tribute show – Taylor: A Tribute to the Eras of Taylor Swift Music returns for two shows only, Saturday 29th & Sunday 30th August.
The show, which is the newest production from ‘Tribute King’ Johnny Van Grinsven and his production house Showtime Australia who are also responsible for Belinda Davids’ hit show The Greatest Love of All, debuted in Johannesburg just last year.
Since then, the show has been busy touring Canada, Australia and New Zealand, gathering fast fans for star singer Josette – the New Zealand-based solo artist who was cast for her natural musicality and striking resemblance to Taylor.
Josette says:
“It’s very flattering when people want to give a special nod to me as an artist. It makes me happy to see everyone else so happy and I’m so proud to be a part of making that environment for everyone.”
This electrifying concert event brings the magic of Taylor’s music to life with a dazzling production, a live band, dancers, and over 30 of her biggest hits spanning every era of her legendary career.
Accompanying her at Joburg Theatre this year is a live band and spectacular theatrical production, plus a setlist that features more than 20 of Swift’s biggest hits including tracks from her most recent album, last year’s The Life of a Showgirl, numerous Billboard chart-toppers.
Prepare to make a ‘sweet escape’ into the world of Taylor Swift as this high-energy production takes audiences on a nostalgic and exhilarating journey through her ever-evolving sound. Featuring chart-topping anthems like Shake It Off, Anti-Hero, Cruel Summer, You Belong With Me, Love Story, I Knew You Were Trouble, Blank Space, and Bad Blood, to name a few, and for the first time, Swift’s most recent release for the soundtrack of Toy Story 5, I Knew It, I Knew You – this is the ultimate celebration of the pop superstar’s music.
From the country charm of Our Song to the synth-pop vibes of Lover and the heart-wrenching ballads of Is It Over Now?, this show is a must-see for any Swiftie. With sparkly costumes, breathtaking visuals, and Josette’s uncanny ability to emulate Taylor’s stage presence and vocal style, fans will feel like they are witnessing a real Taylor Swift concert.
“Joburg audiences set the bar so high… no crowd energy can compare,” says Josette. “Myself and the rest of the cast have put in so much work since our last visit and with the new songs we’ve popped into the show, the South African Swifties will be so happy, I just know they are going to love it twice as much.”
