After Saturday night's Arlington, Texas, stop of the1989 World Tour, Taylor Swift has added Ellie Goulding to the lengthy and impressive list of star power to join her on stage. The pop sensation has made it her personal mission to have an ever-growing group of besties and to invite performers to her stage to sing some of her favorite songs and now smash hit "Love Me Like You Do" is on the list.
"The person about to come out and perform for you is going to perform one of the biggest songs of the entire year," the "Wildest Dreams" singer said before introducing Goulding to the Texas stage and telling the fans how awesome their energy has been. "She is one of my really, really, really good friends. She has an amazing British accent."
For the Oct. 17 performance for 60,000 concertgoers at AT&T Stadium, the duo teamed up to execute Goulding's UK Number One single, which was featured in the 50 Shades of Grey soundtrack, MTV News notes. In fan-shot footage from the gig, Swift and the "On My Mind" singer can be seen marching down and commanding the stage while they hold hands.
Goulding was one of many close friends to be featured in her music video for "Bad Blood." After previously making guest appearances during the 25-year-old pop star's Red Tour in 2013 and 2014 to tackle performances of "Anything Could Happen" and "Burn" she took on the 1989 World Tour for her third go-around.
As the big, 1989 wheel keeps on spinning, Swift has notched a number of impressive names as guest stars on her world tour including Mick Jagger, Justin Timberlake, Steven Tyler, Selena Gomez, Keith Urban and Alanis Morissette.
