Taylor Swift and Gracie Abrams were back on stage together!
On Saturday, Nov. 16, the 34-year-old pop star was joined by her friend and supporting actress, 25, during the third night of her six-show Eras Tour at Toronto’s Rogers Centre.
There, the duo performed a surprising combination of Swift in 1989 the song “Out of the Woods” and their collaboration “Us” from Abrams The secret of us album.
The onstage pairing between the two singer-songwriters happened during Swift’s surprise set, during which she played acoustic guitar for their combination, according to a fan-made video shared on X (formerly Twitter).

While Abrams — who opened for Swift’s 2023 Eras Tour for the first time — kicked off the medley by singing “Us,” Swift mixed in “Out of the Woods” by incorporating lyrics from the 2014 hit halfway through.
Towards the end of the performance, Swift continued to sing her 2014 song, with Abrams harmonizing. Abrams then gave Swift a big hug on stage and bowed to her as the performance ended.

In June, Abrams and Swift took the stage together at Wembley Stadium in London to debut their collaboration “Us,” a moment Abrams has since called an “out-of-body” experience.
Speaking to Who What Wear for a cover story in September, the musician said the pair “wrote the way we played it at Wembley”, referring to the song.
“To see someone have the ability, in a stadium, to make you feel like you and her are the only people there, that was really important for me to see,” Abrams said.
At the time, she also expressed her excitement about performing her latest LP on the Eras Tour stage. “I’m so fucking happy we can do this [The Secret of Us] on Eras only because so much of the album was undeniably inspired by the kind of energy that radiates from both Taylor herself and her fans, [who] they’re just so committed and passionate,” Abrams said.
Abrams previously told PEOPLE in January that hosting the “Fortnight” singer was an experience “beyond my wildest dreams.”
Calling Swift “an amazing performer and the most generous friend,” she added, “Being a part of that tour in a small way changed the course of my life in so many ways.”
