New York City's Global Welcome Ambassador and heartbroken soul whisperer Taylor Swift performed the first of her two sold out shows at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey last night, dazzling legions of lucky fans with renditions of "Blank Space" and "Bad Blood" (inexplicably not played - "Our Song"). And if getting to see the future governor IRL isn't exciting enough for T Swift's fans, she invited the World Cup-winning U.S. National Women's Soccer Team on stage during "Style." They even let her hold the trophy, as if she hasn't won enough awards.

Got to welcome the U.S. Women's Soccer Team home after their World Cup Victory- I LOVE THEM AND THEY ARE THE NICEST.

Is getting onstage with Taylor to sing a subtweet about Harry Styles more exciting than a ticker-tape parade? Hard to know.

Carli Lloyd & Co. weren't the only stars to join Taylor onstage last night. T Swift also gathered some of the cast of her celeb-studded "Bad Blood" video, inviting up an all-black clad crew comprised of Hailee Steinfeld, Gigi Hadid, Lily Aldridge, and Lena Dunham:

Remember that time I walked a runway with multiple super models and @taylorswift? Nope, me neither, cuz I blacked out. What a beautiful moving joyfest of a show, Tay. It's the third tour I've seen you do and you just keep evolving all wild and free. Being a member of your audience is as inspiring as being your friend.

But seriously, how did that drug addicted secretary get up there? Or is she a runaway cellist? Oh I know it's a 7th grade boy who is into tech theater 😍 pic from @m_satnick that shows just how good @taylorswift is at giving face

Photographic evidence suggests that the show catered to an intimate crowd:

Thank you for tonight. #1989TourEastRutherford

T Swift will take the stadium by storm again tonight—the two shows are part of her 1989 World Tour.
