That Swedes Max Martin and Karl Johan Schuster "Shellback" have produced Swift's album many are aware of, but on the album a number of Swedish hidden gems also participate.

Taylor Swift went out on Instagram and wrote "an eternal thank you" to the Swedish producers Max and Shellback who she referred to as friends and mentors.

But there are many more Swedes who have helped out on the newly released album "The life of a showgirl".

Pitchfork has compiled a list with names of people who have participated on the album. Among others, the Swede Mattias Bylund appears, who has been responsible for recording several songs, and Lasse Mårtén, who has previously helped artists like Adele, is a sound technician on several songs.

Erik Arvinder conducts the musicians on the song "Cancelled" and also participates as a sound technician on several of the other songs.

On the main track "The life of a showgirl", Swedish musicians play strings. One of them is Conny Lindgren who has played with Avicii, Pink and Charlie Puth. Some others are, among others, Daniela Bonfiglioli from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Fredrik Syberg from the Royal Court Orchestra.
