Taylor Swift is currently getting ready to embark on The Eras tour, and she's getting some good practice from one of her favorite bands. Swift surprised fans by performing her Billboard No. 1 hit "Anti-Hero" for the first time during her 1975 At Their Very Best tour on January 12 at London's O2 Arena. The 11-time Grammy winner also helped the band perform their 2013 song "The City."
Video taken by attendees and posted to Twitter shows Swift simply walking on stage without any prior notice, donning a silver sequined dress and taking a surreptitious look around before picking up her guitar. stage. "Can I sing?" she asked the crowd, who roared in approval. "I'm thinking of doing a piece that I've never played live before. It would be presumptuous to say, 'If you know it, sing it,' but if you know it, sing it with me." And then She started singing "Anti-Hero" and soon discovered that everyone in the crowd already knew the words.
London is the location of Swift's most recent performances, all of which were completely unexpected by fans. In July 2022, she joined friends HAIM to perform a remix of their "Gasoline" and a mashup of her 2008 hit "Love Story." In October of the same year, she made a guest appearance on Bon Iver's show, performing their collaborative song "Exile" for the first time.
Swift recently confirmed that she has begun rehearsing for her upcoming Eras tour, which means fans of The 1975 shows just received a sneak preview of one of the songs that may appear on Swift's setlist. Attendees were very excited, judging by the reaction on Twitter.
Fans who missed out on the surprise were naturally a little jealous.
Others simply chose to joke about the unexpected collaboration.
Unless Swift decides to make another surprise appearance at another artist's show, fans can expect to see her next performance when The Eras Tour kicks off on March 17 in Arizona.
