Keith Urban has reflected on touring with Taylor Swift in the past.
The 57-year-old country music star invited 35-year-old Swift to join him on his Escape Together World Tour back in 2009 and says he was struck by her impressive abilities even then.
Appearing on The Jennifer Hudson Show, he said: “It was a long time ago obviously… yeah it was great. She was amazing even back then.”
He explained, “I would sit up front and watch her sing and I’m like, ‘Oh, she was singing way off into this other thing.’ You could see it. She was playing way past where she was already. It’s amazing.”
It wasn’t just her singing abilities that impressed Urban, he also revealed that Swift floored him with an impressive on-tour prank.
He recalled on the last night of their tour the Style hitmaker shocked him by coming out on stage dressed as KISS rock legend Ace Frehley.
The star recalled, “There was a prank she did. So I have a song called Kiss a Girl, and on the last night of the tour, she came out dressed as Ace Frehley from the band KISS. I thought it was KISS for a minute. It was so good.”
This year Swift concluded her epic Eras World Tour which kicked off in March 2023 and climaxed this month – with the singer making a reported $2 billion (£1.6 billion) from the shows.
