Joey King, known for her roles in movies like “The Kissing Booth” and “Bullet Train,” had a mind-blowing experience at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour stop in Kansas City, Missouri, on July 7. Swift surprised the audience by bringing King, along with Taylor Lautner and Presley Cash, onto the stage to premiere her music video for “I Can See You (Taylor’s Version),” in which they all starred.
Reflecting on the experience, King told CNN, “That’s a different level. It’s a very niche experience to walk out on a stage of 70,000-plus people.” She explained that she had no idea that Swift would be bringing her onstage that night. When Swift asked her to join her onstage, King was taken aback, exclaiming, “You did not tell me I was going onstage!” Despite the initial nervousness and excitement, King described the experience as incredible and overwhelming. Being on stage in front of tens of thousands of people was likened to the feeling of an ice bath, taking her breath away and leaving her genuinely caught for breath. The energy and exhilaration of the crowd was awe-inspiring.
This was not the first time King and Swift collaborated. In 2011, King starred in Swift’s music video for her hit song “Mean.” So, when Swift approached King to be a part of the “I Can See You” music video, King didn’t need much convincing. She immediately said yes. King praised Swift, expressing her admiration, saying, “I love Taylor. Who doesn’t? She’s amazing.” Seeing the treatment for the music video that Swift had written further solidified King’s decision to be a part of it.
The “I Can See You” music video tells a story of King, Lautner, and Cash working together to rescue Swift from a museum, where she and her album “Speak Now” are being held against their will. In an Instagram post announcing the music video, Swift explained that the storyline symbolizes how it has felt for her to have her fans empower her by supporting her re-releases.
