Taylor Swift's "1989" tour seems to be just as exciting as its namesake album, which just became the quickest LP to reach 5 million sales in 10 years. For her first show at Giants' Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, Taylor had some wild surprises for the crowd of 60,000, bringing out The Weeknd, the U.S. Women's Soccer Team and several more of her famous BFFs.
The evening's only musical guest was a big one. Swift danced her heart out while Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd, performed his new smash hit, "I Can't Feel My Face," which currently sits at No. 6 on the charts. The singer once known for his drug-imbued R&B bedroom jams has entered the pop world thanks to Swedish super-producer Max Martin, who's also one of Swift's closest collaborators. How would Abel and Taylor sound together on a track?
The cameos didn't end there. As Swift segued into "Style," another 1989 gem, she was joined by the U.S. Women's Soccer Team, who had just shut down Lower Manhattan during the ticker tape parade celebrating their recent World Cup victory. They strutted down the runway with American flags and the golden cup in hand, followed by Heidi Klum, who also knows a thing or two about a catwalk.

Though Taylor made each fan in her home state crowd feel like her bestie, a few of her real-life BFFs, who we've seen in her past music videos, joined her on stage for "Bad Blood." The Instagram below shows a group hug between Taylor, Girls star Lena Dunham, actress Hailee Steinfeld, and models Lily Aldridge and Gigi Hadid. Now that's a squad.

She captioned the photo: "Wonder what's in store tomorrow night..." Indeed. Taylor performs again at MetLife Stadium tonight (July 11). Expect another night of stars and surprises.
