On Saturday, pop star Sabrina Carpenter had the night off from her Short N’ Sweet Tour between a show Friday in Tampa and Sunday in Houston. Carpenter’s route from Florida to Texas went through New Orleans, where she joined fellow pop star Taylor Swift onstage at the Superdome.

The collaboration in NOLA took place during the acoustic “Surprise Songs” segment of The Eras Tour concert. Swift set the surprise up by telling the crowd she had Carpenter’s “Espresso” stuck in her head and played a bit of the ubiquitous hit song. Swift then picked up a phone and called Carpenter, who answered to cheers from the Swifties. The conversation led to Swift asking Carpenter to come to the show.

Responding that she could be there in “five seconds,” Carpenter then appeared onstage with Swift who was playing acoustic guitar. The pair then worked up a mashup of Carpenter’s “Espresso” with “Is It Over Now?” from Swift’s 1989 album. The sequence also included a portion of Carpenter’s other hit song, “Please, Please, Please.”

“[O]nly stage I’d ever wanna see on a day off,” Carpenter, who was an opener for Swift earlier on The Eras Tour, wrote in a thank-you note posted after the collab.
