Must be one of the best feelings in the world - being on stage singing a song with a fellow songwriter that you admire.

[@tjwash5118]

Must have been one of the best feelings in the world to be in the audience with a surprise duet of one of the most iconic songs of the 70’s as well!

[@PeanutButterLPS]

yeah im so happy for Carly!

[@Johnniebhoy83]

And not just any old guest... But Carly fucking SIMON 😱

[@CaptainPond]

Yet another reason to love them both. Carly Simon has stage fright. Taylor Swift managed to get Carly to sing to a STADIUM! It’s just so beautiful ❤

[@serenadelperdang3333]

Carly Simon is known to have a case of stage fright, hence the reason she hasn't done many tours. In fact a true rarity. But somehow Taylor Swift got her on stage and sang one of her most amazing songs ever! That says quite a lot about Ms. Swift. Hats off to Carly Simon!!

[@stevenkukene9970]

There’s kindness. Then there’s Tay Tay kindness. ❤️

[@gailcarmack2954]

So true!! She was always more comfortable outside with wind blowing in her hair!! There is a great performance of her. I want to say Martha's Vineyard. Outside. Back when bands and singers had to know what they were doing. Nowadays to many do. Glad to Taylor isn't one of them. Respect.

❤❤❤❤💐💐💐💐

[@JochenVogel]

Lovely gesture of Taylor Swift bringing back to the stage the giants whose shoulders we're all standing on.

[@ZATennisFan]

Taylor has always understood where she comes from and honours that heritage. She also pays it forward to the next generation. We are starting to see the first generation of artists who were raised by her and you can see her influence already…

[@arezucarroll]

She also brought James Taylor on stage to duet with her ...

Just sounds like in her 20s

[@mattdito7231]

Close to 70 when video made

[@MisterMikeTexas]

More and more rock and pop stars joining the Octogenarian Club. Also blows my mind that Ric Ocasek would be nearing 80 if he were still with us. I think Pittsburgh's Donnie Iris is nearing 80 also.

[@jodil7]

Carly Simon wrote break up songs as iconic as Taylor Swift! Brilliant seeing them perform this together! I loved it!

[@teresasellsatl]

AS iconic? Taylor’s fame is great and I admire her work ethic and humanity but she’s no Carly freakin’ Simon in the musical department. Young fans just have NOTHING to discern from. Taylor would have been nobody in the 60s and 70s

[@scoutandscooter]

@@teresasellsatl Carly Is so still amazing!!!

Well to me Carly > Taylor. Each generation loves their own ones that they grew up with.

[@amykingery8577]

Carly has always had such a melodious voice

[@ler5299]

I love that Taylor uses her spotlight to honor the greats who came before her, and introduce her fans their music. Classy.

They're both as crazy as each other I love it 💓

Had no idea this existed until this hour. What a beautiful thing for our girl to do. Carly Simon was a huge star and to honor her and support her in this way is deeply beautiful. Thank you, Carly. We love you so much. And many thanks to Taylor Swift who is always finding a way to share the love, share the music, share the fame, share the honors. May God bless these fantastic musicians!!

[@GoddessNeith]

IS, Carly IS a huge star. forever and for always.

[@Sjp977]

I’m a 20 year old girl who’s been a Swiftie since fearless era. I’m also a lifelong rock and roll enthusiast thanks to my parents. I was raised on James Taylor, Carly Simon, Jackson Browne, Tom Petty, Neil Young, The Beatles, the stones, the dead, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Marley, etc…One of the things I love most about Taylor is that she loves all these legends just as much as I do and always pays tribute to them. I’ve always felt like Taylor would be the most fun person to just hang out and listen to records with. I love that she has the same taste in music as me and I love that the rest of my generation is starting to collect records and listen to 60s/70s and current music. Taylor’s known to be a very nice, cool and down to earth good person and would and probably has a record collection of all the same artists as me lol

[@boataxe4605]

As a quote “Boomer” I think Swift is one of the few truly talented current pop stars,she doesn’t lip sync and can actually play an instrument. I put Gaga in the same category.

[@PegasusID]

Add Joni Mitchell!

[@Sjp977]

Carly has been my idol since childhood. What a great performance. Go girls!

[@badcatt-the-cougar-guy-7219]

2 national treasures. I loved Carly when I was a young man, still do. Taylor is just so talented, smart. and just about the best thing that has happened to popular music in decades.

[@xsfeatg]

Carly Simon,, was the best of the 70s.... always a SuperStar.

[@cardo1111]

She definitely was up there with many giants, Carole King, Janice Joplin, James Taylor, Neil Young. Forget about the Super groups like Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd,Pink Floyd etc. No doubt the '70's was the golden age of music.

[@maryrosekent8223]

@@cardo1111 I totally agree, but I think Janis is in a class of her own…it always seemed that she giving us her deepest, most precious and private parts of her soul. I still miss her. Cry Baby, A Little Piece of My Heart, Down on Me. People still know her music, and she’s been dead longer than she was alive.

[@ItsMaisyDaisy]

Carly's voice just makes this song. My fav song back in the day.

Beautiful song and awesome singer, Carly is tops forever!

[@corysmith3447]

except shes a narccist diagnosed google it.

[@cherylparker9060]

Wow!!! What a great show. 2 iconic singers on one stage. And…yes…we’ll always wonder WHO that song is about. Probably she’ll tell us in a book someday. You could hear how strong her voice still is when she’d sing “you’re so vain” by herself while Taylor sang on in song. Thanks Taylor. Carly is from my generation and was good to see her on a stage where she belongs.

[@carolmccullough-kuchar4782]

OMG I LOVE Carly Simon!!!!!!!! I love this song! So glad to be able to hear it....

I can imagine a Taylor Swift fan’s parent being ho hum about bringing their kid to a concert and then suddenly Carly Simon shows up and they’re over the moon. Maybe they got a little more appreciative of Taylor’s music too

Kudos to Carly I remember that song from 1973 when I was 21, she must be older than 71, still rocking!

[@Rjensen2]

80

[@jodyp323]

If anyone ever wonders why Taylor Swift is a much loved and revered phenomenon, this is just one of the reasons. It's her admiration and respect for other artists. She knows her craft. She studied it. She respects those who came before her. Those are the people she learned from. She shares this history with her followers and applauds it. It's magical.

[@nogoodnameleft]

Taylor's IQ level is pretty high I believe. She almost never uses "umm" or "uhhh" when she speaks. She is in that next level of intellects.

[@juliawalsh7934]

Carly Simon is one of the most durable singer/songwritesr. It's no wonder that TS would admire and want to sing with her.

[@carenclemmons5002]

Carly still rocks that beautiful voice of hers. Thanks for coming out to join your friend Taylor. Thanks TS. Wonderful idea.

[@leefrancis190]

It’s so nice,Taylor Swift and Carly Simon on the same song,thanks Taylor,Carly is always one of my favourite artists of all times and will be remembered forever,you will be the next one too I reckon,love to have you two together.

[@susanborkenhagen58]

Man, Carly rocks at every age. Fucking fantastic!!!

[@Barracuda24-f3w]

Carly will still kick anyone's butt. Great form. ❤

[@tonyfox7510]

I read in Carly Simon’s book that she experienced stage fright in her early performances, I see she really did a splendid job here and no sign of nervousness.

[@katec4096]

Carly was married to James Taylor. Taylor Swift was named after him because her mom was such a fan of his. ❤️❤️

[@pauljordan4452]

My Dad still loves James' music - we have the obsolete cassettes. Does anybody recall the Sesame Street parody of Your Smiling Face?

[@lwdfn7479]

⁠What I remember more is watching Sweet Baby James do “Up On the Roof” on Sesame Street. My kids could have cared less but I loved it, esp. when he started hopping around. He made that song his own. How lucky we were if we grew up in the 60s and 70s. And how fun to learn about Taylor’s name.

[@hikergirl56]

I always thought this song was about him.

Love this song and the two singing it. Btw, fun fact, Mick Jagger sang back up vocals on the original recording. Sang on the chorus.

[@suemarie6032]

Taylor and Carly looked like they were having such a good time. The one video that beats this is Carly and James Taylor doing Mockingbird. You could feel the love in that one. I'm glad I stumbled across this while looking for Joni Mitchell's performance at the Grammy's. Both 80-year-old legends still going strong!
