Taylor Swift was joined by Gracie Abrams for a performance of their Grammy-nominated song “Us” during the Eras Tour stop in Toronto on Saturday (Nov. 16).

During the surprise songs portion of her set at the Rogers Centre, the 34-year-old pop superstar brought out her friend and opener, 25-year-old Abrams, for a mashup of Swift’s 1989 hit “Out of the Woods” and Abrams’ track “Us,” from her The Secret of Us 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 numerous Eras Tour dates in 2023, is back on the road for the current leg of the tour, which will wrap on 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 together. The pair previously teamed up for the song at London’s Wembley Stadium in June.

Before bringing Abrams onstage, Swift reflected on the time that has passed since the launch of The Eras Tour in March 2023.

“A lot of life can happen during a tour, a lot of art can happen,” Swift told the Toronto crowd. “And I think you’ll remember the genius, brilliant young lady you saw earlier tonight.”

She 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 had, like, eleventy-hundred cosmos.”

Swift also shared the excitement they felt when they first heard that “Us” had been nominated for a Grammy, saying the pair was “feral screeching” while on the phone together.

Meet the Force Behind the Canadian NBA MVP Shai-Gilgeous Alexander and R&B Star GIVĒON

In this Billboard Canada Toronto's Simon Gebrelul's strategy to make Shai Gilgeous-Alexander a one-of-a kind sports star — and disrupt the music world.

It’s mere days before Christmas, and Paycom Center is unusually quiet.

The arena — home of the Oklahoma City Thunder, the reigning 2025 NBA champions — typically holds 18,000 roaring fans, but today, you could hear a pin drop. Yet even in silence, the Thunder’s accomplishments speak loudly. Division title banners hang proudly from the rafters. Scan past those banners and across the empty arena, and three words in bold orange and blue come into focus: Committed. Community. Together.
