When one ultra-famous pop star flies across the world to surprise another ultra-famous pop star — and her sold-out concert audience — with a perfect duet, because they're both wondrous angels.



Taylor Swift fans at her Washington, D.C. concert got a major surprise when Lorde, unannounced, joined Taylor onstage. (We were hoping Barack, Michelle, Sasha and Malia would show up and Shake It Off,  but hey, we're not complaining.)

Fittingly, they sang Royals, because they. ARE. ROYALS.

Lorde did some hand-dancing, Taylor struck some dramatic poses, and they both slayed on vocals.

Ella didn't fly all the way to Washington to lip sync!

Fans in the audience, understandably, freaked out.

And took tons of photos.
