Luke Bryan Reacts to Taylor Swift Performing in Las Vegas

The video, posted to Bryan’s official TikTok account, shows the country star on stage during his Vegas show, asking the crowd who had tickets to see Swift’s Saturday concert at Allegiant Stadium. People can be heard cheering in response.

“I was flying out here, and they were like, ‘You know Taylor’s playing the stadium,'” Bryan shared. “I was like, ‘Oh, shit. I gotta sell tickets against Taylor?’ But no, that’s awesome.”

The video then cuts to a clip of Bryan sitting at the piano singing Swift’s song “You Belong With Me,” while the audience sings along. The singer wrote in the caption, “Sharing Vegas with @taylorswift this weekend. Hope it’s a good one Taylor.”

Fans were glad to see Bryan being supportive of his fellow artist. As user Hayley Nicole wrote in the video’s comments, “I love seeing the support for @taylorswift, this is awesome.”

The Two Singers Performed Together in 2013

Bryan’s comments about Swift might make you wish the two singers had found a way to perform together during their time in Las Vegas. However, the pair already took the stage together way back in 2013.

While performing a show on her Red Tour in Nashville, Swift welcomed Bryan to the stage with her. The pair sang a duet of Bryan’s song “I Don’t Want This Night to End,” from his third studio album Tailgates & Tanlines.

Swift has dates lined up on the North American leg of her Eras Tour into August of this year. Meanwhile, Bryan is gearing up for his Country On Tour, which kicks off in June.
