Well, hello there, Ghosts of Eras Past. Last night, at her Eras Tour concert in Kansas City, Missouri, Taylor Swift invited three VIPs from her OG Speak Now era onstage with her for the debut of her new music video for “I Can See You.”
For anyone who hasn’t been obsessively listening to Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) since 12:01 a.m. on its oh-so-meaningful July 7 release, “I Can See You” is one of the “from the vault” tracks from the album. It is also a certified bop that will 100% be stuck in your brain forever once you listen to it even one time.
Since Taylor was performing live the night of the album release, it was already pretty much a given that she would do something at last night’s show to commemorate the occasion, but Taylor Nation removed any doubt about that theory last night with tease-y tweets about the show doubling as the Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) album release party and mysterious tricks up sleeves that were coming:
Turns out, those “tricks” included the premiere of a brand new music video and three surprise OG Speak Now VIP guests: Taylor’s ex/“Back to December” muse Taylor Lautner and actresses Joey King and Presley Cash, both of whom appeared in Taylor’s “Mean” music video back in the day. The crowd went *particularly* wild when Taylor (Swift) introduced Taylor (Lautner):
Taylor (Lautner) rewarded (and/or just plain mirrored) the crowd’s enthusiasm by doing multiple flips on his way onto the stage, which is a very valid way to make the most of your Eras Tour moment if “doing multiple flips on a huge stage” is in your wheelhouse:
The surprise triple appearance was fitting since Taylor (Lautner), Joey, and Presley all costarred in the “I Can See You” music video, in which they work together to break Taylor (dressed in one of her iconic OG Speak Now era looks) out of a literal vault. Check out the video below:
