Eliotte Nicole Woodford (née Henderson) is a professional singer, dancer, and performer, originally from San Antonio, Texas. She graduated from Washington University in St. Louis, where she studied dance and marketing. Woodford is best known for her long-standing collaboration with Taylor Swift, having joined her touring team as a background vocalist and dancer in 2013 at the start of the Red era. She is a key member of Swift's backup vocal group, affectionately known as The Starlights, and has been featured on all of Swift's major subsequent tours: The Red Tour (2013-2014), The 1989 World Tour (2015), the Reputation Stadium Tour (2018), and the record-breaking The Eras Tour (2023-2024). Beyond her work with Swift, which includes appearances in the concert films like Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (2023), her diverse background also includes performances with artists such as Toni Braxton and Wayne Brady, and appearances in film and television, including the remake of Dirty Dancing and on shows like Conan and Dancing with the Stars.
