Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter share iconic mash-up onstage during Sydney, Australia concert

Taylor Swift fans were met with a special surprise as the hitmaker brought out her talented support singer Sabrina Carpenter to perform during the Era's Tour after a wild storm almost cancelled the show.

Sabrina's support slot was cancelled as treacherous storms swept Sydney, Australia causing the Accor stadium filled with nearly 80,000 fans to be temporarily evacuated due to nearby lightning strikes. As the wild storm delayed the show, Taylor brought Sabrina on to perform during her acoustic set as they made their way onstage 20 minutes late.

During Sabrina's introduction, Taylor sweetly said: "My incredibly talented, wonderful, gorgeous, hilarious, genius opening act Sabrina Carpenter. She's heroically sacrificed her show which I think is a crime against Sydney and I think it needs to be fixed so I'm going to bring her out now is that okay Sydney? Will you please scream as loud as you know how for the brilliant Sabrina Carpenter!"

The venue was met with a roaring applause as the pop singer joined Taylor onstage wearing a glamorous sparking silver dress covered in fringe and rhinestones paired with her signature knee-high platform white boots. The dynamic duo shared a beautiful mash-up onstage as they sang the surprise songs How You Get the Girl, White Horse, and Coney Island together.

In a viral TikTok of the performance, fans flooded the comments with love and praise for the memorable collab. One fan wrote: "the way they literally sound so beautiful like holy sh*t." Another commented: "THE WAY THEY'RE LOOKING AT EACH OTHER AHHH." A third wrote: "I WAS THERE! WHEN SHE PLAYED CONEY ISLAND I WAS CRYING AND SINGING SO LOUDLY" And a fan wrote: "Barbie and Polly Pocket collab."

The pair's special performance comes as Taylor is currently on her world Era's Tour and recently landed in Australia on Valentine's Day this month. After playing three nights in Melbourne to nearly 300,000 fans that showed up for her sold-out shows, Taylor and her boyfriend Travis Kelce were seen taking in the sights as they headed out to the Sydney Zoo on her day off. The pair looked head-over-heels for one another as they trekked through the zoo on the sunny day walking hand-in-hand as they admired the wildlife.
