Taylor Swift got her start in Nashville, and she had a big surprise for concertgoers when her Reputation Stadium Tour rolled into Music City on Saturday and she was joined onstage by surprise guests Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
Fittingly, the 28-year-old singer enlisted the Nashville power couple to join her on “Tim McGraw”, Swift’s 2006 debut single.
“When you think Tim McGraw. I hope you think of my favourite song,” said Swift to the crowd as she pointed at McGraw, reports the Daily Mail.

During the concert, Swift also paid tribute to the city that launched her career. “I moved to Nashville when I was 13,” Swift told the audience at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium, reports The Tennessean. “My first memory of this stadium is my mom and I got tickets to CMA Fest, and I remember thinking this was the biggest place to play. It was incomprehensible. Years later, I got to play 15 minutes at CMA Fest. I thought that was the best it was going to get. Tonight is my first time headlining this stadium. It’s my hometown show, and it means so much to me and family and friends. This crowd is gorgeous.”
She added: “How do you say thank you to the city of Nashville? I came here at 11 years old with a CD of karaoke music and my mom drove me up and down Music Row. I would scamper into record labels and say, ‘Please, call me.’ This is the city where I learned how to write songs. Every single thing I do, I learned in Nashville.”
