Fans couldn't believe their eyes when the 11-time Grammy Award winner casually walked through one of the doors on stage, a message flashed up on the screen: “Guest starring…Taylor Swift."
As you can imagine, The O2 erupted in screams and disbelief, the songstress coyly said into the mic, "Is it okay if I sing?" – yes Taylor, of course it's okay!

Taylor quickly broke records with the release of her tenth studio album 'Midnights', the lead single 'Anti Hero' has been stuck in our heads ever since it dropped in October.
"I was thinking of doing one I never played live before," she announced to the 20,000-strong crowd.
The 33-year-old swiftly segued into a performance of the smash hit, pricing to us all that the song is just as captivating with stripped-back guitar and vocals.
It didn't take long for the news to spread online, with endless clips from the gig racking up thousands of views almost instantly, with TikTok and Twitter being sent into a frenzy.
