During the final night of her two-show run at Toronto’s Rogers Centre on August 4, Taylor Swift thrilled the crowd by bringing out a surprise guest—rock legend Bryan Adams—for a special duet of his iconic 1985 hit, “Summer of ’69.”
Adams had just played a show the previous evening at Scotiabank Arena, not far from the stadium. He mentioned to his own audience that traffic had been so intense he had to abandon his ride and walk to the venue—likely due to the tens of thousands of Swift fans flooding downtown for her concert.
Mid-set, with her guitar in hand, Swift teased the crowd with an intro: “This is one of my favorite songs of all time — it’s not one of mine — but I wanted to hear how loud you could sing tonight.” The crowd roared as she launched into the opening of “Summer of ’69,” echoing a moment from 2011 when she performed the same tune in Adams’ hometown of Vancouver.
