Beyoncé Makes A Surprise Appearance At Taylor Swift's 'The Eras Tour' Movie Premiere
So far, 2023 has seen two reigning queens dominate the touring scene: Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. On Wednesday (Oct. 11) night in Los Angeles, the pair came together for the premiere of Swift’s concert film, The Eras Tour.
Today (Oct. 12), the “Bad Blood” singer shared a video of their encounter. Swift expressed her deep admiration and gratitude for Bey’s presence. Her caption read, “I’m so glad I’ll never know what my life would’ve been like without [Beyonce’s] influence. The way she’s taught me and every artist out here to break rules and defy industry norms. Her generosity of spirit. Her resilience and versatility. She’s been a guiding light throughout my career, and the fact that she showed up tonight was like an actual fairytale.”
According to The New York Times reporter Kyle Buchanan, the two music icons also enjoyed dinner together before the event.
