British Popstar Remembers Special Taylor Swift Moment
When it comes to Taylor Swift's tours, the music isn't the only thing fans rave about; her opening acts and surprise special guests have become legendary in their own right. From chart-topping artists to rising stars, Swift has a gift for handpicking performers who bring just as much energy and star power to the stage as she does. In past tours, she's shared the spotlight with major names like Selena Gomez and Shawn Mendes during the "1989 World Tour," Charli XCX and Camilla Cabello in Swift's "Reputation Stadium Tour" and Ed Sheeran for her "Red Tour" back in 2013, proving she has a serious eye for talent on the rise. In her most recent "Eras Tour," Swift performed with many of her openers, many of whom are well-known artists, such as Gracie Abrams, Phoebe Bridgers and Sabrina Carpenter. One popstar in particular recently recalled her and her band being personally asked by Taylor Swift to perform at the "1989 World Tour" back in 2015. Jade Thirwall, who was part of the girl group Little Mix at the time, felt like it was "the seal of approval" when she received the call. "When we got the call from Taylor herself that she wanted us to join her on stage, it was like 'Oh my gosh!' […] It's the seal of approval," Thirwall said recently, according to Pop Base. "She was very lovely, very supportive.' On August 15, 2015, Little Mix performed their hit song "Black Magic" with Swift during the tour's stop in Santa Clara, California. A fan even posted on X that even ten years after their collab performance, Swift played Thirwall's debut single "Angel of My Dreams" as part of the "Eras Tour" pre-show playlist at one of Swift's shows in Miami. Formed on "The X Factor" in 2011, Little Mix is a British girl group that rose to fame thanks to their songs "Shout Out to My Ex" and "Black Magic." The group achieved international success and became one of the best-selling girl groups of all time. In 2020, Jesy Nelson left the band, and in 2022, the remaining members announced an indefinite hiatus to focus on solo projects. After the group announced their hiatus, Thirwall began carving out her solo career with the artist name JADE. She signed with RCA Records and released her first song, "Angel Of My Dreams," in July 2024. The British pop singer's debut album "That's Showbiz Baby!" will be released on September 12.

Taylor Swift Fans Catch Glimpse of Singer for First Time in Months
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Taylor Swift was seen for the first time in months in a photo shared by pal Selena Gomez. Newsweek reached out to Gomez's representative via email for comment. The Context The singers have been friends since 2008 when Swift was dating Joe Jonas, and Gomez was dating Nick Jonas. "We actually dated the Jonas Brothers together! It was hysterical," Gomez told KISS FM UK in 2017. "It was amazing, because [Taylor] was the girl with the big curly hair and all the bracelets and the cowboy boots. And I was definitely up-and-coming, and we just clicked."

In December, Gomez announced her engagement to record producer Benny Blanco via Instagram, and the "Cruel Summer" singer reacted to the news by clicking the heart button. She also wrote: "yes I will be the flower girl." At the time of publication, her remark garnered more than 1.9 million likes. What To Know On Wednesday, Gomez took to Instagram to share a slew of throwback photos. In the 12th slide of the 13-slide album, Gomez and Swift could be seen performing during Swift's 1989 World Tour in Los Angeles in 2015.

Gomez shared this photo to her Instagram earlier this week. More Christopher Polk/TAS/Getty Images for TAS Following her record-breaking Eras Tour, which concluded in December, Swift has largely kept a low profile. Her last public appearance was at Super Bowl LIX in February when the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Philadelphia Eagles. The pop star supported her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and looked on as the Eagles won 40-22. In March, celebrity gossip site Deuxmoi posted a video of the couple dining at a restaurant in Park City, Utah. Swift has also mostly kept off social media. She hasn't posted on her Instagram grid since December, she hasn't posted on TikTok since October, and she hasn't posted on X, formerly Twitter, since November. She did, however, address Gomez's engagement news and reacted to the birth of Kelce's brother Jason Kelce's daughter. Most recently, she "liked" a reel on Instagram of triplets asking virtual assistant Amazon Alexa to play her songs. What People Are Saying On social media, one fan's viral message shared to X, formerly Twitter, about Gomez's post sparked theories. @daylambre13 wrote in a note with 1.8 million views: "A picture with Taylor on the 12th slide ??? Are you thinking what I'm thinking". In response, @toto_13t said: "ts 12 would have 13 songs and track 12 is a featuring with selena?" TS12 is a term used by Swifties to refer to Swift's 12th studio album. @torturedtori13 added: "Taylena on TS12." @numberonegirl20 chimed in: "Selena will be part of TS12?!?!" What Happens Next It's likely fans will see more of Swift when the Chiefs' season begins, as the Grammy Award winner has often been spotted in the crowd at his games. In 2024, the NFL team's preseason kicked off in August, with their first regular season game in September. As it stands, the Chiefs' 2025 schedule has not yet been released.
