Taylor Swift's Best Special Guest Performances

by Kelsie Gibson

Last night Taylor Swift stole the show at the 2015 iHeart Radio Music Awards. Not only did she win some big awards last night (including artist of the year and song of the year for "Shake It Off") she also caused an Internet frenzy when she and Justin Timberlake had a surprised face face-off after she won the award for best lyrics for "Blank Space," making fans everywhere even more jealous of their friendship. The biggest surprise of the night though came when Taylor Swift joined none other than the Queen of Pop herself, Madonna, on stage for a special performance of her new single "Ghost Town."

Even though she fangirled over Madonna's praise a few months ago, for this performance, Taylor managed to stay perfectly calm and collected as she played guitar for one of the biggest pop legends of all time (NBD!). But of course, this isn't Taylor's first rodeo when it comes to celebrity guest performances. Not only does the girl have a way of making a surprise appearance, she also has a way of making a surprise performance. Over the years, (especially during her Red Tour) Taylor Swift has performed with a number of great artists. Check out a few of her greatest celebrity guest performances here.

Carly Simon made writing songs about famous exes a thing way before Taylor was even born, so seeing them sing that iconic song together on stage is even that much more incredible.

Way before all that, "bad blood," these two former friends looked really cute as they sang along to Katy's hit single.
