🔥 Full coverage and conversation on Taylor Swift

Beyoncé's surprise appearance at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour film premiere is all people can talk about today. (It's me, I'm people.) It was great seeing the superstar artist pop out to celebrate Taylor after all the comparisons and rivalry rumors that have existed over the years — but it certainly wasn't the first time.

"I try really hard not to, like, let [my fandom] get creepy," she added. "I just really, like, channel it into a joyous admiration and appreciation." Taylor — who was nominated for International Female Solo Artist that year — said she wouldn't even be upset if she lost. "The only way I'll be upset is if we don't get to see Beyoncé. ... I'll just be like, 'I wish that we could see her all the time.'"

5. When Beyoncé and Jay-Z came to celebrate Taylor's 25th birthday party at her apartment in 2014.

7. And finally, when Beyoncé won Video of the Year at the 2009 VMAs and gave Taylor the stage so she could finish her speech and "have her moment" after Kanye West infamously interrupted her.

“In the end, it ended up being a great night, and Taylor Swift did get her moment — and I didn’t have to make an acceptance speech,” Beyoncé later told Gayle King.
