Taylor Swift Teams Up With Childhood Inspiration Jennifer Lopez
|As Taylor Swift reflected on her childhood memories of singing into a hairbrush at her 2013 LA concert, the audience was unprepared for the surprise she had in store. Taylor reminisced about a particular song that was her favorite to perform in her room. “This is my hairbrush song,” she announced, and to the audience’s astonishment, R&B legend Jennifer Lopez appeared on stage. Together, they treated fans to a special performance, turning a nostalgic memory into a thrilling live moment.
Together, they performed Jennifer Lopez’s iconic early 2000s hit, ‘Jenny From The Block.’ The audience erupted in cheers, singing along and capturing the moment on their phones. For fans not able to attend the concert, Taylor Swift uploaded the performance to her YouTube channel, where it has since amassed over 12 million views. Viewers from around the globe have enjoyed watching Taylor and Jennifer revel in the joy of their duet, clearly having a blast performing together.
While the duo’s rendition of ‘Jenny From The Block’ gained popularity online, it was just one of many surprise guest performances during Taylor Swift’s ‘The Red Tour’ in 2013 that weren’t all shared on the internet. Throughout the tour, Taylor delighted fans by bringing a variety of popular artists on stage, including Ellie Goulding, Nelly, Ed Sheeran, and Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump, collaborating on their hit songs.
Another memorable moment was when Taylor invited musical legend Carly Simon to join her for a duet of the 70s classic ‘You’re So Vain’. This iconic breakup anthem meshed seamlessly with Taylor’s own chart-topping heartbreak hits like ‘All Too Well’ and ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’. In a behind-the-scenes video, Taylor expressed her admiration for the song, declaring it “the best song that had ever been written.”
