Joey Kingis speaking candidly about her experience joiningTaylor Swifton stage in front of thousands of fans.
“I was like, ‘Bring me on stage?’ [And Taylor] was like, ‘Didn’t I tell you?’ I was like, ‘You did not tell me I was going on stage,’” King added, noting: “I started sweating and freaking out and I got really nervous. But it was incredible to just have that experience and feel that energy coming at you.”
King also compared the feeling of seeing the large crowd to taking an “ice bath,” which she said was the “best way to describe” the ordeal.
“It just takes your breath away and you’re genuinely caught for breath,” she explained. “It was truly a breathtaking experience to see all those people that are sending all this energy at you directly. It was exhilarating.”

The actress, who previously starred in Swift’s 2011 visual for “Mean,” told CNN that joining forces again for the star’s latest video was “an immediate ‘yes’ for me.”
In the video, Lautner, 31, King, and Cash, 26, all joined forces to help Swift, 33, take back her albumSpeak Now, which marked the most recent addition to her growing catalog of re-recordings.

Earlier this week, Swift told fans duringher final Los Angeles Eras Tour showthat1989 (Taylor’s Version)is the next re-release she plans to drop.
“Since I was a teenager, I wanted to own my music,” Swift added onstage. “The way to do it was to re-record my albums, and the way that you have embraced … that you have celebrated, that you really decided that it was your fight too, and that you were 100 percent behind me … I will never stop thanking you for that.”
“And so now, here we are on the last night of theU.S. leg of the Eras tourin the eighth month of the year on the ninth day. You might have noticed there are some new outfits in the show. There’s something that I’ve been planning for a really, really, really ridiculously, embarrassingly long time, and instead of telling you about it, I think I’ll just sort of show you,” she then said, unveiling the cover art and release date.
The project arrives on Oct. 27, and will include five “From the Vault” tracks, which Swift told fans on Instagram are “so insane.”
