Taylor Swift Brings Out Lorde For A “Royals” Duet At ‘1989’ Concert: Watch
Taylor Swift has been bringing out some major surprise guests for her 1989 World Tour — including Echosmith, The Weeknd, Nick Jonas and the models from her “Bad Blood” crew. The latest star to grace the singer’s stage is BFF Lorde.
The Kiwi popstress reportedly flew 19 hours from her hometown in New Zealand to take the stage at last night’s (July 13) concert in Washington D.C.’s National Park. The two friends came together to perform Lorde’s ubiquitous smash — 2013’s “Royals.”
Lorde seemingly had a great time last night, as she tweeted: “but seriously, @taylorswift13 is the leader of a great and beautiful galaxy that i’d live in forever.” She also plans to write a Tumblr post about the concert experience.
