Up until her L.A. shows, there seemed to be a pattern to the people Taylor Swift was bringing on stage. They were either members of her girl squad or fellow musicians. It was a little "wha?" inducing when Julia Roberts showed up and sang alongside Joan Baez in Santa Clara, CA, but we simply assumed it was T. Swizzle's heroes night or something.
Even we have to admit things have gotten super random during the big celeb moments during the L.A. shows over the weekend, though. Last Saturday, August 22, Swift brought out Chris Rock and Matt LeBlanc for "Style," along with Sean O'Pry, one of the male models who appeared in the video. That lineup of men is the very definition of random. But...Joey!

To top it off, Swift invited Mary J. Blige to the stage for a performance of "Family Affair" and "Doubt." She also had Uzo Aduba, who you know best as Crazy Eyes on Orange is the New Black, join her for a performance of "White Horse."
The night before brought the crowd Kobe Bryant and Ryan Tedder. With the latter, who co-wrote "Welcome to New York," Swift performed his band OneRepublic's hit "Counting Stars." Bryant did the obligatory famous person "Style" appearance by himself, which is an odd pairing.
Reportedly in the audience but not joining Swift on stage: Mark Wahlberg (the artist formerly known as Marky Mark), Gigi Hadid, and Hilary Duff. The former Lizzie McGuire star Instagrammed a photo from a seat in the back of the arena. Maybe Swift didn't know she was coming?
Swift has three more L.A. shows to go. By the last one, we predict she'll have Colonel Mustard in the library with the candlestick...wait, that's a different guessing game.
