Taylor Swift Pranks Keith Urban In 2009 By Crashing The Stage As KISS

Unforgettable is one way to describe it, but this is one of the best pranks on a country artist we’ve ever seen!
It might be hard to believe today, but not too long ago Taylor Swift was opening for bigger artists like Keith Urban. She was on her way to utter stardom and she was having loads of fun!

Heading out on tour with Keith Urban for his 2009 Escape Together World Tour, Swift had a crafty idea to pull off during one of the dates they performed together.
Kansas City was in for a treat that night and both the audience and Urban had no idea!
She performed first as the opener and then went backstage to prepare…but, what did she have in store? To give you a hint it involved a wildly-disguised Swift and a whole lot of makeup.

Urban was in the middle of his set and quickly jumped into his hit song “Kiss a Girl” before Swift and her bandmates pranked him.
Singing and jamming out center stage, you can see a figure appear on the left-hand side before they come into full view. Soon enough, you see all of rock band KISS filter out to join Urban and his mates for the song.
Genuinely surprised, Urban was shocked when strangers began taking over his show – but he kept on playing and singing anyway!
It wasn’t until Swift walked right up next to him that you could see him realize what was actually happening. He let out a giggle into the microphone and was beaming with a smile.

Even Swift’s KISS character got a chance to sing a line in the song with him!
