A resurfaced video from Swift's 2011 Speak Now World Tour stop in Atlanta has fans of the two singers cheering after their reunion of sorts at the Super Bowl.

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.

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!

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized President Donald Trump and his administration during an exchange at the Munich Security Conference over the weekend, saying Trump has "betrayed the West" with his "disgraceful" handling of Ukraine.

In particular, Clinton called out Trump's often deferential attitude toward Russian President Vladimir Putin, who invaded Ukraine in a "special military operation" in 2022. Clinton said that not only are Putin and Trump "profiting" off Ukrainian "misery," Trump is also looking to Putin as a "model" of what a leader can be, effectively betraying Western values.

Tyra Banks wanted to share her side of the story and do some big reveals in the Netflix docuseries Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model, but if she was hoping the docuseries would improve her image to the public, she was sadly mistaken.

Past model contestants have already gone public about their time on the show, but now, people from behind the scenes, like one of the show's photographers and judges, Nigel Barker, the creative director, Jay Manuel, and judge and runway coach Miss J. Alexander, have all come forward with their experiences, and the history might be darker than we ever expected.
