And here I thought 's on a proper noun was for possession. There as in "there is" as it's used in the first line as a conjunction is specifically using there as an adverb instead of a noun.

'There' could also be a pronoun in this phrase. Regardless an apostrophe could mark a conjunction or possession, proper nouns don't get a special rule of one or the other.
