Immediately after Kansas City clinched their spot in this year's Super Bowl, fans of Taylor Swift and her KC tight end beau Travis Kelce wondered if the singer would make it to Las Vegas in time for kickoff after performing in Tokyo the night before.
Once they caught their first glimpse of the star at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday, however, they had yet another query: Would she make a surprise appearance during Usher's halftime show?
While the "Nice & Slow" singer did have quite the lineup of superstars—we're talking Alicia Keys, H.E.R., Jermaine Dupri, Lil Jon, Ludacris—joining him onstage, Swift enjoyed the show from her suite.
But leave it to the internet to bring the two together on Super Bowl Sunday, anyway.
A resurfaced clip of Usher performing with Taylor Swift some 12 years ago has taken the internet by storm, and fans just cannot get enough.
Swift was in Atlanta for her 2011 Speak Now World Tour when she brought Usher out on stage and performed his hit "Yeah!" with him.
You can watch their performance below.
Not only were viewers of the unlikely duo absolutely delighted by the entertainment value this video provided, but they were also shocked that they had never seen the footage before.

After the performance, Usher deemed Swift “crunk for real," telling Yahoo! Music:
“In Atlanta, she came out. She did her thing."
"I didn’t know she and hip-hop swag like that. She came out and they enjoyed it."
And now, 12 years later, the rest of the world is enjoying it, too!
