Written by . Published: October 03 2011

Taylor Swift delighted fans at her weekend (01-02Oct11) shows in Atlanta, Georgia by performing with R+B star Usher and newly-freed rapper T.I.


The Love Story hitmaker's tour hit Atlanta on Saturday (01Oct11) and she introduced her special guest to the audience at Philips Arena.

Swift sang Usher's hit Yeah! with the man himself and later told her Twitter.com followers, "I got to say 'peace up, A-town down' in atlanta then UsherRaymondIV came out and sang 'Yeah!' with me. I'm thinking 'is this real life?"

She returned to the stage on Sunday night (02Oct11) and partway through her set she sang the opening chorus of T.I.'s hit song Live Your Life - and the crowd went into a frenzy when the newly-freed rapper appeared onstage to perform with Swift.

After the show, she wrote on Twitter, "Singing 'Live Your Life' with TI tonight was unreal. LOUDEST screams from the crowd, 14,000 people, hands in the air - welcome back Tip (T.I.)!!"

The hip-hop star was recently released from jail to a halfway house after serving a 10-month sentence for a probation violation, and was made a free man on Thursday (29Sep11).
