The Eras Tour has seen many special guests grace the stage with Taylor Swift but fans have been waiting expectantly for sister trio Haim to appear.
The 33-year-old thrilled fans when former flame and friend Taylor Lautner backflipped on stage for Speak Now Taylor’s Version but Seattle may have topped that.
For this guest artist, Taylor even altered her setlist by removing one song in favour of another for the first time ever on the Eras Tour.
This wasn’t just your average guest though as Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim are frequent collaborators and close friends of the Timeless singer.
Making things extra special, this is the first time Taylor has ever performed the song live on stage.
So close in fact, it was at Haim’s end-of-tour London gig exactly one year ago that Taylor first appeared back on stage after lockdown in a shock for gig-goers.

The moment went down in swiftie history as the Illicit Affairs singer walked out, dressed in a black leather-look outfit matching the band’s aesthetic.
Taylor and Haim have two songs together, with the more recent being no body no crime from Taylor’s Evermore album which they sang in Seattle on Saturday, July 22.
This time the Dorothea singer was dressed in a bronze gown which she swishes from side to side as she and the band sang together.
Each sister was given a spotlight moment, where they had a solo lyric from the song as well as Danielle getting to show off her guitar skills.
At the beginning of the country rock track, Taylor sings: ‘Este’s a friend of mine, we meet up every Tuesday night for dinner and a glass of wine.’
This character, who is tragically murdered by her husband in the song, is named after Haim’s bass guitarist and the eldest sister of the trio.
In the fun song, Este’s sister ‘swears she was with’ the protagonist when she gets revenge in order to stop her going to jail.
Videos show Taylor individually walking to each sister as she sings lines that relate to them and their characters, with youngest Alana jumping when the Evermore singer appears next to her.
This gig was almost exactly a year to the day of Taylor’s first live performance in four years with them at their London O2 gig on July 21, 2022.
Taylor sang Gasoline from Haim’s third album, Women in Music Pt. III, on which she is a featured artist but added a little twist.

Incredibly they made the song a rock mash-up with Taylors’ Love Story before she hinted at an upcoming tour, thrilling the London crowd.
This isn’t the only collaboration swifties have seen from the women recently as the sisters also appear in Taylor’s Bejeweled music video as her evil step sisters.
It’s also been suggested that the ‘band’ Taylor references in this song is Haim themselves.
The friendship stretches back to 2015 when each artist tweeted about their love for the other’s music.
Haim then holidayed in Hawaii with the I Know Places singer before being invited to open for her on the 1989 tour.

Fans don’t know if no body no crime will become a permanent set fixture as ’tis the damn season from the same album was removed to make space for it.
Others are simply praying that Haim will return for another guest spot, although none of the other guests have done so.
It’s not known if Taylor will completely revamp the list and guests for her international dates as she will run out of surprise songs before she reaches the UK.
Regardless of the Eyes Open singer’s future plans, Seattle swifties definitely won the jackpot with that show -what a way to celebrate a year back on stage.
