She must be a Mastermind, because fans did not expect Taylor Swift to perform at Bon Iver’s gig on Wednesday night.
Concertgoers got more than what they bargained for after seeing the 11-time Grammy winner walk on stage not only to say hello but to perform at Wembley’s OVO Arena in London, UK.
The pair performed a beautiful rendition of their hit song “Exile” from Swift’s 2020 “Folklore” album, much to the delight of die-hard fans.
It was the first time that Swift and the musician, whose real name is Justin Vernon, performed the track, alongside The National’s Aaron Dessner.
Announcing Swift to the audience, Bon Iver called the singer “the most talented person in the world,” before she chimed in, “The most talented person in the world, Justin Vernon. Also the most talented person in the world, Aaron Dessner.”
Dessner collaborated on the deluxe version of Swift’s most-recent hit album, “Midnights” called the “Midnights: 3am edition.”
He also co-wrote and co-produced “The Great War,” “High Infidelity,” “Hits Different,” and “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve,” all from the album.
Since its release on Oct. 21, the album has topped the charts and become the biggest-selling record of 2022.
It also broke Spotify’s record for most album streams in a day after causing the platform to suffer an outage with its launch.
