Taylor Swift brought out surprise guest Marcus Mumford when he performed in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
The 33-year-old singer performed Cowboy Like Me – from her Evermore album – for the first time live with the former Mumford & Sons lead singer, 36, during the final stop of her Eras Tour.
The 11-time Grammy winner wowed her fans as she returned to Allegiant Stadium – home of the Las Vegas Raiders – for her second concert in Sin City.
The day before, she presented a dazzling array of ensembles and delivered another stunning performance for the Nevada stop of her long-awaited tour.
While this was the hitmaker’s first time performing the track live, Mumford has performed their collaborative song many times at his solo concerts.

On Saturday, Swift put on an elegant show in a stunning emerald green gown with ruffles cascading all the way down the floor-length skirt.
Speaking to the crowded arena, she announced that she would welcome a special guest on stage.
Previously, she had told concert-goers at her first concert at the same venue about her “no guests” rule.
“Las Vegas, Nevada, you are so lucky because we have a special guest with us tonight,” Swift said, addressing her audience.
After introducing the folk musician, she was greeted with thunderous applause as she asked, “Would you sing Cowboy Like Me with me?”
The two talented musicians then started playing their guitars and put on an enchanting performance of the track.
The song, featured on their ninth studio album Evermore, featured Mumford on backing vocals. Cowboy Like Me was written by Swift himself and Aaron Dressner of The National.
On Instagram, Mumford shared photos and a clip of their performance on stage together, captioning the post with lyrics from the song, “You’re a bandit like me.”

At the time of the album’s release in 2020, fans speculated that the male singer who could be heard on Cowboy Like Me was Swift’s boyfriend Joe Alwyn, 32.
Her loyal fan base had previously found out that the Conversations With Friends actor, using the pseudonym William Bowery, had helped write a number of songs on her albums Folklore and Evermore.
Swift and Alwyn have been together for about six years since they began dating in 2016, having previously met at the Met Gala.
On the second night of her stay in Las Vegas, Swift performed for the first time since 2018 in the Surprise Songs White Horse section of her Fearless album.
