Haim surprise London fans with guest appearance from Taylor Swift at O2 gig
Haim fans got quite the surprise at the band's London gig this week.
There was an extra special treat for Haim fans who found themselves at London’s O2 Arena Thursday evening as the band’s close friend and fellow musician Taylor Swift joined them on stage.
Screams erupted when Swift walked out on stage during the band’s London gig Thursday night wearing a similar uniform to the one the Haim sisters have been sporting on their One More Haim tour.
Danielle, Alana and Este teased the collaboration on their social media channels earlier that day, posting a video of them getting ready in their dressing room only to turn around and see Taylor there also.

Performing a mashup of their respective songs ‘Love Story’ and ‘Gasoline’, the moment quickly began trending across social media as fans caught wind of the surprise appearance.
Taylor jokingly commented on her attempt to steal the Haim sister’s style on social media, saying, “Hitting copypaste on your friends’ looks like…”.
Haim have long been a part of Taylor’s famous “squad”, even performing on Swift’s 2015 North American leg of her 1989 World Tour.

The band also featured on Swift’s 2020 release Evermore after working on the song ‘No Body, No Crime’. While Taylor returned the favour, collaborating on a remixed version of Haim’s track ‘Gasoline’ for their album Women in Music Pt. III released the same year.
Their on-stage reunion delighted ticket-holders there on the night and fans who watched enviously on social media.
