Taylor Swift continues to impress with her Eras Tour get-ups, as proven by the fairytale-esque, sage green, tiered gown that she donned when performing in Las Vegas last week. The Grammy winner, 33, shared a photo of herself in the piece while onstage with special guest Marcus Mumford in an Instagram post for her 253 million followers.
Swift revealed that she brought the Mumford & Sons frontman out for a live debut duet of her folky ballad, “Cowboy Like Me” off the 2020 record, Evermore. The “Anti-Hero” hitmaker’s exquisite dress featured a low-cut neckline, shoulder detailing, a plethora of ruffles and an epic high, leg-baring slit.

For this outfit at her Allegiant Stadium concert, the “Bejeweled” singer added shimmering heeled boots. As she sang and strummed her tan wooden guitar, Swift wore her long blonde tresses and bangs down, and styled straight.

Fan Reactions To Swift’s Dress And Surprise Guest
Naturally, fans on Twitter couldn’t get enough of Swift’s breathtaking green piece, but also the fact that Mumford joined her for the duet. “Taylor Swift bringing out Marcus Mumford to perform Cowboy Like Me for the first time at the Eras Tour feels so UNREAL,” one wrote as another added, “cowboy like me performed by taylor swift and marcus mumford, the eras tour, las vegas n2. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.”
Another chimed in, “When Taylor Swift brings out Marcus Mumford to sing your favorite song right in front of you. My jaw is still on the floor.” Others expressed their “jealousy” regarding those who got to hear the performance live, and someone else tweeted, “major FOMO,” (and we agree!)
