Camila Cabello gave Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour concert an unexpected star turn, making a rare surprise appearance onstage to the delight of fans.
On Friday, the Shape of You singer performed at the New Jersey venue on Friday, September 4, in which he sang Bam Bam with the Havana songstress.
Just ahead of the performance, Sheeran gushed about his decade-long friendship with Cabello.
“It’s rare to form strong and real friendships, and I’ve been friends with this person for over a decade,” he said on Friday during the show.
Sheeran added, “She was in New York, we saw each other earlier today, and I said, ‘We should sing together.’ It’s one of my favorite songs, I can’t wait to perform it.”
Cabello sported a white cardigan and green sequined shirt as she closed out the song with a loving message to Sheeran, saying, “I love you.”
Ed Sheeran and Camilla Cabello bond
Sheeran and Cabello have previously spoken candidly about their enduring friendship and history of working together.
“I’m such a huge Ed Sheeran fan, when he first asked me to work with him on ‘South Of The Border,’ I was like, ‘Uh yea, duh,’” the Shameless singer gushed to Australia’s The Music in 2022.
She mentioned, “Even though we’re friends, he’s such a top-tier artist and I didn’t know if he would say yes to being on my project.”
Bam Bam is one of the tracks on Cabello’s 2022 album, Familia.
“I’ve gone over to his world before, and for ‘Bam Bam’ he was coming to my world, into the studios with my collaborators that I worked with on this album, and singing in Spanish on a song that I had written the chorus for,” recalled the outlet.
The Worth It singer added, “It was just really cool, and I was honoured that he wanted to be a part of it.”
Cabello’s latest release came in 2024 with C, XOXO (Magic City Edition), while Sheeran returned with Play in 2025 before beginning his latest tour.
Ed Sheeran is set to perform a second night of Loop Tour concert at MetLife on September 5.
