In honor of Beyoncé and Taylor Swift showing up for each other’s movie premieres, here’s a timeline of their best interactions.
Bey + Tay forever!
Swifties and BeyHive, unite. There’s no denying this year, especially the summertime, belonged to Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. The two pop stars turned their tours (Eras and Renaissance, respectively) into cultural phenomenas, encouraging most of the world to slip on their finest silver and stacked friendship bracelets. As if their record-smashing shows weren’t enough, the duo recently added more buzz to their names. Both superstars released concert films at the end of the year, and as a show of support, they made sure to show up to one another’s premieres. Ugh, their power.
Similar to fans, who are already crowning this moment as their Roman Empire, Swift couldn’t hide her excitement when Beyoncé attended her The Eras Tour film premiere on Oct. 11. The duo were all smiles on the red carpet, and wore pieces that matched their tours’ aesthetic. Swift wore a 1989-blue Oscar de la Renta gown while Beyoncé stunned in a black bodysuit adorned with a silver breastplate.
As an extra touch, the 1989 singer then gave Beyoncé her flowers on Instagram. “I’m so glad I’ll never know what my life would’ve been like without Beyoncé‘s influence,” Swift began the post, which sees the two stars posing in the theater. “The way she’s taught me and every artist out here to break rules and defy industry norms. She’s been a guiding light throughout my career and the fact that she showed up tonight was like an actual fairytale.” BRB, sobbing.
To return the favor, Swift flew to London to walk the red carpet at Beyoncé’s Renaissance film premiere a month and a half later on Nov. 30. Swift showed her Renaissance fandom by dressing in the concert’s signature dress code, sparkling in a silver gown. Swifties also noticed that part of the dress may have been an Easter egg teasing Reputation (Taylor’s Version), as a snake-like accoutrement was spotted on one of the dress’ straps. Fans also compared the outfit to her look in the “Look What You Made Me Do” video.
The next day, Swift posted a powerful photo of her and Beyoncé posing together at the event. “Got invited to London by The Queen,” Swift captioned the shot.
This isn’t the first time the two stars have supported one another. Although they got off to an infamously rocky start thanks to one rapper, they’ve become been each other’s biggest cheerleaders over the past decade of successes.
