Kelsea Ballerini, Steven Tyler & More Join Taylor Swift On Stage In Nashville

Taylor Swift, Kelsea Ballerini

You never know who’s gonna show up on stage when Taylor Swift is town!

The superstar brought her 1989 World Tour to Music City for two sold-out shows at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena over the weekend, and there was no shortage of surprise guests. Fans were on the edge of their seats to see who Swift would bring out, and she did not disappoint!

On Friday (9/25), Swift first welcomed country newcomer Kelsea Ballerini on stage and joined her in singing her debut chart-topping single, “Love Me Like You Mean It.” After the show, Ballerini took to Instagram to share her excitement saying, “The most special, memorable, and magical full circle moment of my life. @taylorswift I’ve watched every single tour of yours at the Bridgestone Arena since I moved to Nashville. Thank you for being generous enough to give me that first. I will always be one of your biggest fans.”

Next up came rocker-gone-country singer Steven Tyler. The Aerosmith frontman and Swift joined together for “I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing.”

Singing ‘I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing’ with Steven Tyler was an honor. So inspired by how sweet he was to all of us.

The final special guest of the evening was the incomparable Alison Krauss. Their pair sang “When You Say Nothing At All,” and it was absolutely amazing.

Saturday’s (9/26) show brought two more surprise guests, The Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger and singer/songwriter Leona Lewis.

Other country artists who have joined Swift on her 1989 World Tour include Dierks Bentley, The Band Perry, Little Big Town, Sam Hunt and Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks.
