Taylor Swift brought out surprise guest (and former Eras Tour opening act) Sabrina Carpenter during the Surprise Songs portion of her New Orleans concert on Saturday night.

“I think I’m going to do something different tonight. I’m going to sing a song that’s not mine, but it’s someone I really love, so I’m going to see how loud you can sing the song,” Swift told the crowd . . “It’s in my head and it would feel good if I knew that 65,000 other people had this song in their heads just like me.”

Swift, on acoustic guitar, then launched into a few lines from Carpenter’s “Espresso,” before pausing and going off on a “tangent.” “I love my girlfriend and I’m so proud of Sabrina,” Swift said.

She then grabbed a cell phone and called Carpenter live on stage, putting the call on speaker. “I’m actually performing in New Orleans…I want to tell you I sang a little bit of ‘Espresso’ and they were all singing so loud,” Swift told Carpenter, who then revealed she was also at the Caesars Superdome .

After a brief conversation, Carpenter took the stage, where she joined Swift for a mash-up of “Espresso,” followed by 1989 (Taylor’s version)“Is it over now?” and Carpenter’s hit “Please Please Please.”

Carpenter – who attended the New Orleans gig between stops on her own Short n Sweet Tour; she played in Tampa on Friday and performs in Houston on Sunday – was previously the Eras Tour opener in late 2023 (during the Latin American leg) and early 2024 (during the Australia and Singapore stops), before her breakthrough summer began with ‘Espresso ‘. .”

The two singers previously shared the stage together on February 23, 2024, when Carpenter also came out during the Surprise Songs portion for a mash-up of “White Horse” and “Coney Island.”
