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.

Awards

Cirkut Won Both Grammy & Juno Awards for Producer of the Year: Who Else Has Done That?

Just two other producers have doubled up — and just one other has done it in the same calendar year.

Cirkut is on a historic awards roll. On Feb. 1, he won the Grammy for producer of the year, non-classical. On March 28, he won the Juno Award in his native Canada in the same category (since 2002, the award has been named in honour of Jack Richardson, the late Canadian producer who is probably best known in the U.S. for helming The Guess Who’s 1970 smash “American Woman.”)

Cirkut (born Henry Russell Walter) is just the second producer to win both awards in the same calendar year. The first was David Foster, who took both awards in 1985, when his big credit was the hit-laden Chicago 17. One other producer, Daniel Lanois, has won both awards, but he has yet to win both in the same year.
