The Taylor Swift-verse had yet another eventful weekend.
Besides cheering on her new beau Travis Kelce in another NFL victory, Swift, 33, had the pleasure of witnessing two of her close friends join forces for a remarkable performance at Baltimore's All Things Go Fest. Lana Del Rey, one of the festival's main acts, graced the stage on October 1st, Sunday, with a delightful surprise guest: Jack Antonoff, the lead singer of Bleachers and Swift's trusted creative partner.
Antonoff, 39, plugged in his guitar while the crowd erupted into cheers. Trying to speak over the noise and feedback, Del Rey, 38, acknowledged Antonoff's presence with his wife, Margaret Qualley. She then performed "Margaret," a track from her recent album, Did You Know That There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, which was produced by Antonoff. The song was inspired by the love shared between Antonoff and Qualley. Antonoff spoke to Rolling Stone, stating, "Lana and I have a longstanding connection, witnessing the changes in each other throughout multiple relationships."
Del Rey’s song about Antonoff and Qualley, rumored to be played at their upcoming wedding, was created in the same manner as many of her other songs – with Antonoff and her engaging in a back-and-forth singing session. However, this time Del Rey insisted that Antonoff contribute to the song by singing the second verse. Antonoff describes the song as the closest representation of the casual and friendly conversations he has with Del Rey when they are together in a room.
After performing at All Things Go, the duo shifted to "Venice Bitch" from Lana Del Rey's 2019 album, Norman F—king Rockwell! Jack Antonoff collaborated with Del Rey on the production of NFR! and her subsequent album Chemtrails over the Country Club, as well as the spoken word adaptation of her book, Violet Bent Backwards over the Grass.
In the meantime, Del Rey and Taylor Swift joined forces on Swift's Midnights album for the song "Snow On The Beach." When announcing the collaboration, Swift praised Del Rey as "one of the best musical artists ever." "I am honored and privileged to exist in the same era as her," Swift expressed on Instagram in October 2022. A special version with enhanced vocals from Del Rey was later released on Midnights (The Til Dawn Edition) in May.
While Del Rey and Antonoff were performing in Baltimore, Swift, who had recently started dating Kelce, was in New Jersey watching the Kansas City Chiefs secure a thrilling 23-20 victory against the New York Jets. It was the second NFL game Swift had attended, and she brought along a group of A-listers, including Sophie Turner, Blake Lively, and Ryan Reynolds, to her private viewing suite. During the game, Swift and Kelce's mother, Donna Kelce, shared a warm embrace while watching Travis perform on the field.
The Chiefs' upcoming game will be on Sunday, October 8, against the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis.
