Her five-night engagement at LA’s Staples Center has been particularly celeb-stacked—this week, she’s sung “You Oughta Know” with [Alanis Morissette](http://time.com/4009769/taylor-swift-alanis-morissette-you-oughta-know/), gone spangle-for-spangle with Ellen DeGeneres, performed “Dreams” with [Beck and St. Vincent](http://time.com/4011091/taylor-swifts-john-legend-st-vincent-beck/) and duetted with John Legend on “All Of Me.” Last night, for her final trick, Swift brought out the only two celebrities—nay, people—left on Earth that she has yet to harmonize with in front of thousands of iPhones: Justin Timberlake and Selena Gomez. First up, Verified T. Swift Bestie Gomez took the stage in a pair of Swift-esque hotpants for the debut live performance of her new single “Good For You,” which Swift called “the song of the summer.” Later, Timberlake—who, fun fact, stopped by[_The Ellen DeGeneres_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlOIDOmPZQI) _Show_ in 2008 to surprise an utterly lovestruck teenage Swift as she wore a glittery LBD in the daytime—joined Swift for a rousing rendition of his hit single “Mirrors.” In a nod to how far they’ve both come since awkwardly discussing gender relations on _Ellen_, Swift explained, “Justin hasn’t performed since he became a dad, so I’m just honored that this is his first performance.” ### PHOTOS: See Taylor Swift Over the Years  Taylor Swift arrives at the 2006 CMT Music Awards at the Curb Event Center at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee.

Christopher Polk—Getty Images ## Transcript [ MUSIC ] Taylor Swift has twice been on Time's list of the 100 public figures that have made the most global impact. That's more times than many of her contemporaries in pop music. But then again, Taylor Swift is more than just Still singing. Most abnormal thing about my life is having sort of crowds form everywhere you go. When Taylor announced that she was moving from country music to pop with the release of her fifth album 1989, she risked alienating her fans. But far from that, Taylor continued her record of chart dominance. 1989 was her third consecutive album to sell more than a million copies in it's first week. A feat no other artist has ever achieved. [ MUSIC ] Nightmare dressed like a daydream. Aah! And proves her fans are fiercely loyal. She has them to thank for refusing to download leaked versions of 1989. It helps that she has a massive social media following. Over 50 million twitter followers. Taylor's sway among her young female fans has also helped her advocate awareness of feminism. In an era when many celebrities have disavowed the term, Swift openly embraces it. In order for us to have gender equality, we have to stop making it a girl fight and we have to stop being so interested in seeing girls try to tear each other down. It has to be more about cheering each other on. She has also championed fair pay for musicians Pulling her music off of Spotify because the streaming service has an option of free listening; And her open letter to Apple music asking to reconsider paying artists zero royalties for the first three months prompts even near immediate policy change. This isn't just about boosting her own coffers. Taylor has said she is able to support herself through touring, but she's concerned about newer bands or artists. As an advocate and a superstar who's deeply engaged with her fans, Taylor is way more than a singer. Taylor can you take a picture with me ?! ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4013030/justin-timberlake-selena-gomez-taylor-swift/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4013030/justin-timberlake-selena-gomez-taylor-swift/"},"headline":"Watch Justin Timberlake and Selena Gomez Grace Taylor Swift's Stage","datePublished":"2015-08-27T14:21:52.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:43:47.136Z","description":"The only two celebs Taylor hasn't sung with yet","url":"https://time.com/4013030/justin-timberlake-selena-gomez-taylor-swift/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","American Voices"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5ac3d81c3e94c3c7/69886129428a9e6575cced51/taylor-swift-selena-gomez.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Rachel Handler","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/rachel-handler/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5ac3d81c3e94c3c7/69886129428a9e6575cced51/taylor-swift-selena-gomez.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Taylor Swift selena gomez","caption":"Taylor Swift selena gomez","creditText":"Christopher Polk—TAS/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4013030/justin-timberlake-selena-gomez-taylor-swift/","name":"Watch Justin Timberlake and Selena Gomez Grace Taylor Swift's Stage"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Power of Taylor Swift","description":"One day after Taylor Swift publicly blasted Apple Music for not paying artists during the service’s free, three-month trial period, Apple reversed its position","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/mUgZx3qP/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-06-22T20:13:13.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/mUgZx3qP.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4013030/justin-timberlake-selena-gomez-taylor-swift/","duration":"PT2M4S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4013030/justin-timberlake-selena-gomez-taylor-swift/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
