This superstar flew for 19 HOURS to join Taylor on stage last night

by

So far on her 1989 World Tour, Taylor Swift has been joined by a whole host of celeb BBFs on stage, including Gigi Hadid (twice), Karlie Kloss (twice), Kendall Jenner, Serena Williams, Lena Dunham and Selena Gomez to name just a few.

One of her pals was notably absent from the on-stage reunions… until now. Last night fans in Washington DC got a huge treat when T-Swift was joined on stage by none other than Lorde.

The Kiwi singer flew for almost a full day and night to get to the US in time to duet with Taylor on stage, and she didn't disappoint, joinging Tay for an epic rendition of Royals.

Earlier in the evening, Taylor promised concertgoers a "really good surprise" if they "maintained their awesomeness," adding, "Hint number one: this artist flew 19 hours from her hometown to be here with you."

Lorde herself tweeted just now to gush about how wonderful the show was, posting a picture of the pair on stage and calling Taylor "the leader of a great and beautiful galaxy that I'd live in forever":

Shortly after Lorde's appearance, poor Taylor got herself in a bit of a bind when part of her set malfunctioned, leaving her stranded on an extendable balcony hundreds of feet off the ground.

"They just told me in my ear that I might be stuck up here forever," she told the crowd. "This thing is broken… We're just gonna have to rechoreograph the entire show. It's fine. Whatever. It's gonna be a unique show D.C.!"

Never one to be fazed, Taylor barreled on with her set list while she waited for the balcony to be fixed, segueing into her next song without a hitch. Nice.

Sounds like it was an absolutely epic show all in all.
