Taylor Swift Brings Out Justin Timberlake, Selena Gomez and Lisa Kudrow for 1989 World Tour [Videos]
Years ago when Taylor Swift's career was on the rise, the singer told Ellen DeGeneres that her celebrity crush was Justin Timberlake, while the two eventually met, the 25-year-old singer has now added singing alongside her idol to her bucket list.
On Aug. 26, the singer surprised the Los Angeles Staples Center crowd with a duet of "Mirrors" alongside Timberlake, reported Time.
"Justin hasn't performed since he became a dad, so I'm just honored that this is his first performance," Swift announced to a screaming crowd.
The singer, who welcomed his first son, Silas Randall Timberlake, with wife and actress Jessica Biel, shared a picture on Instagram of him and Swift goofing off backstage before they went on stage to perform.

While Timberlake, one of music's biggest stars, was enough of a surprise the night also included a performance by Selena Gomez who Swift joined in singing "Good For You" with.
The two singers, who are close friends, matched their looks on stage in shorts and over-knee-boots as they sang and danced to the soft tune, which Swift called the "song of the summer."
"After nearly 8 years of friendship, I just can't wait to tell our kids we ACTUALLY got to perform in front of thousands of insanely beautiful people together. TWICE! I love you Tay," Gomez captioned an image of the two on Instagram.
Swift posted her own image of her and Gomez and captioned it with, "Sisterhood. #1989TourLA."

According to Variety, fans were also treated to a performance of the song "Smelly Cat." The song was made famous by Lisa Kudrow, who played Phoebe Buffay on the hit television sitcom "Friends," and who Swift is a big fan of.
