Only one may have taken the stage, but three pop stars were in attendance Taylor SwiftEras tour show in Sydney in February. And while appearing in his last episode The Tonight Show On Tuesday (July 9), Rita Ora had nothing but kind words to say about the concert, which she watched from a VIP tent next to Katy Perry.
“Pop girls have really come around to it,” the “I Will Never Let You Down” singer told host Jimmy Fallon of the experience, calling Perry her “friend.”
“We were in Australia and we were both doing separate jobs and obviously everyone in the world has seen the Eras tour,” continued “Firework” singer Ora. “So I went and really wanted to hang out. It was really cool because it was the first time I've seen her in ages and she's making music, and you know, everybody's doing their own thing.”
After the performance, the singer posted a behind the scenes photo featuring the “Anti-Hero” singer, as well as photos of her getting cozy with Perry at Accor Stadium. She also shared a snap with Swift's boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who flashed a big smile as he posed with his arm around Ora's shoulder.
“It's fair to say Sydney 🇦🇺 always delivers – Or let's say TayTay @taylorswift always delivers!” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “Thank you for having us! Seeing my KP @katyperry made my heart 🥹 to many queens count!”
The Descendants: The Rise of Red The star was also joined by her husband Taika Waititi at the Eras show, and the director joined Ora's photo with Swift. The couple tied the knot in August 2022, although they didn't reveal their wedding until their anniversary next year.
In the Tonight show, Ora shared that their intimate Los Angeles ceremony was somewhat spontaneous. Even their Elvis impersonator was a complete surprise, with the star saying he “didn't ask” to be there.
“There was no plan,” he told Fallon. “I got married off the cuff and it was so much fun… The first song [the impersonator] he sang was, “I'm caught in a trap.” I was like, 'Is this how we want to start?'”
