NEW ORLEANS, LA – Taylor Swift brought the house down on Saturday night during her second sold-out show of the Eras Tour at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, treating fans to a surprise guest appearance by rising pop star Sabrina Carpenter.
Swift, known for her surprise acoustic segments during the tour, hinted at something different this night, saying she wanted to sing a song by someone she admired. She then surprised the crowd by launching into Carpenter’s hit “Espresso”, a song that has been stuck in her head, she revealed.
After a heartfelt shoutout to Carpenter, who Swift praised for her recent success, she took out her phone and called Carpenter, who was currently performing in Tampa on her own tour. With a “five seconds” response from the pop star, Carpenter made a dramatic entrance from below the stage, igniting a frenzy among the audience.
The two stars then performed a mash-up of “Espresso” with Carpenter’s “Please, Please, Please” and Swift’s “Is It Over Now?”. After the performance, Carpenter quickly disappeared, headed to her next show in Houston.
“She has literally one day off,” Swift said, emphasizing Carpenter’s hectic tour schedule, “This is crazy that she came to perform for us.”
The surprise performance followed a similarly electrifying night on Friday, where Swift performed a mash-up of “Our Song” and “Call It What You Want” during the acoustic segment.
Swift’s Eras Tour has been a whirlwind of surprises, with the star frequently bringing out special guests, such as Florence Welch from Florence + the Machine in Miami.
With the tour continuing its journey across the country, fans are sure to be eagerly anticipating the next surprise guest.
