Taylor Swift had a hilarious moment on stage with fellow artist Sabrina Carpenter during her recent performance of The Eras Tour, and fans are all over it on social media now.

Other users found the moment reminiscent of childhood, as @princesshay013 wrote: "Looks like she's playing keep away with a toddler."

That camaraderie between Swift and Carpenter struck a chord with fans, prompting meme-filled commentary singing their friendship's praises.

Swift reportedly surprised fans at the concert by performing a new cover of Carpenter's summer song "Espresso."

Later in the show, Swift introduced the song by saying, "I'm gonna sing a song that's not mine, but it's someone that I love so much, and wanna see how loud you can sing this song (slight pause), ok. It's been stuck in my head."

A few bars into her song "Espresso," Swift welcomed Carpenter onstage to remix together. The two artists harmonize in perfect unison, seamlessly blending "Espresso" into "Is It Over Now?" from 1989 (Taylor's Version).

Swift performed another Carpenter song "Please Please Please" near-perfectly.

The unexpected duo had fans freaking out online over their excitement.

Swift's Eras Tour spans from Arizona in March 2023 all the way to Canada this December. Her last three concerts will be performed in Indianapolis after her run in New Orleans.

Meanwhile, Carpenter will take center stage In Houston, Texas, on Wednesday.
