Taylor Swift was joined by Gracie Abrams for a performance of their Grammy-nominated song “Us” during the Eras tour in Toronto on Saturday (November 16).
During the surprise song portion of her Rogers Center set, the 34-year-old pop superstar she took out her friend and a can openerAbrams, 25, for a Swift mashup 1989 hit “Out of the Woods” and the Abrams track “Us,” from her Our secret album.
“Us,” which Abrams co-wrote with Swift, was recently nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 2025 Grammys.
Abrams, who opened for Swift on several Eras tour dates in 2023, is back on the road for the current leg of the tour, which wraps up Dec. 8 with a three-night stand at Vancouver's BC Place.
Saturday's collaboration marked the second time Swift and Abrams performed “Us” live. The pair previously collaborated on the song at London's Wembley Stadium in June.
Before bringing Abrams on stage, Swift reflected on the time since The Eras tour kicked off in March 2023.
“A lot of life can happen on a tour, a lot of art can happen,” Swift told the Toronto crowd. “And I think you'll remember the genius, bright girl you saw earlier tonight.”
He continued, “Story time: Gracie was opening for me like a year ago on The Eras tour and we made so many fun memories. One of my favorites was celebrating her Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. We went out that night and we had, like, eleven hundred people.”
Swift also shared the excitement they felt when they first heard that “Us” had been nominated for a Grammy, saying the pair were “squealing wildly” while on the phone together.
