Robbie Williams & Taylor Swift have major chemistry on “Angels” live at Wembley
Taylor Swift proves herself as a stadium performer extraordinaire, but her show reached new heights when Robbie Williams joined her to sing his classic hit "Angels." The former pop rebel made an appearance at Swift's Wembley Stadium concert, and their onstage chemistry elevated the entire performance.
Swift began the song at the piano, showcasing her rarely heard lower vocal range during the opening verse. The audience was already enthusiastic, but the atmosphere became charged when Williams emerged from a stage lift to complete the verse. The duet video has attracted 1.7 million YouTube views.
Swift beamed with joy witnessing the crowd's response to Williams' arrival. The pair performed during Swift's second Wembley show on her Reputation tour, with Williams displaying his fan status by wearing official Reputation tour merchandise.
Swift, known for her excellent stage presence, allowed Williams to command attention for the first two minutes. The seasoned British pop icon demonstrated his vocal talents by delivering a performance that matched the recording's quality. Williams previously delivered another notable rendition of "Angels" with Joss Stone at the Brit Awards.
The Wembley crowd gave Britain's beloved singer an enthusiastic welcome, singing every lyric and cheering loudly. Online reactions praised the collaboration, with one fan commenting: "I saw this live and you couldn't hear either performer because everyone was screaming along! It was incredible!" Another noted: "Imagine creating a song so good that everyone at someone else's concert knows all the words."
While Swift and Williams clearly share musical compatibility, this remains their only collaboration so far. Williams expressed openness to future projects with Swift in a Grazia Magazine interview, stating: "I would definitely collaborate with Taylor. She creates excellent songs, she's an outstanding pop star, and she sets high standards especially with her recent album."
"Angels" served as Williams' career-defining solo release from his 1997 first album "Life thru a Lens."
The initial three singles achieved modest chart positions, but it was the fourth release "Angels" that experienced major international success. This breakthrough song established the British performer as a genuine solo star after his departure from the boy band Take That.
