At the heart of the show is Caitlin. With a background in girl groups, studio recording, and years of live performance, she has always been drawn to music that connects people. As one of the lead vocalist of That Guy Larry and the voice of Starbucks Lovers, she brings passion, precision, and a whole lot of heart to the stage. Stepping into the role of “Taylor” wasn’t about imitation, it was about honoring the storytelling, the emotion, and the fan connection that make the music so powerful.
The band is powered by Nick, drummer and manager, whose hybrid drum setup blends live playing with electronic elements to capture both the energy of the tours and the layered production of the records. Jae anchors the groove on bass while building the keys and electronic textures that define each era. As lead male vocalist, he adds strength and dynamic balance to the harmonies, helping recreate the depth and power of Taylor’s live band. His ability to move between instruments and vocal roles keeps the show layered and immersive. Mike brings the evolving guitar sound to life, from country roots to arena rock to polished pop textures. His tone shaping and backing vocals add dimension and authenticity, ensuring every era feels intentional and true to the original spirit while still alive in the moment. Beyond the guitar, he helps steer the creative and logistical heartbeat of the entire experience helping build the show. The backing vocalists Caitlyn and Ursula complete the sound with personality and precision. Caitlyn, with her theatre background and expressive stage presence, brings versatility, melodic fills, and vibrant energy that elevate each performance visually and vocally. Ursula anchors the harmony blend with confidence and consistency, known for her pitch-perfect delivery and natural swagger that adds richness and cohesion to every chorus. Together, we recreate not just the songs, but the feeling.
While there are many Taylor tribute shows, Starbucks Lovers is built around connection. From Eras-inspired outfits and friendship bracelet tables to interactive fan moments, including the chance to be pulled on stage during “22”, every detail is designed to celebrate the Swiftie community.
With a monthly fan newsletter, immersive show design, and a shared love of the music, Starbucks Lovers delivers an experience that feels authentic, joyful, and unforgettable. This isn’t just a tribute. It’s musicians celebrating the music alongside the fans who love it.
