“Yall we were LIVING!!!” he also wrote in the caption.
The video has now 1.8 million views, as of posting.
Another clip from Bretman’s Instagram live showed Taylor Sheesh lip syncing to another Swift hit, Style. She was clad in a Blue sparkly dress, similar to Swift’s bodysuit in her Midnights performance for her The Eras Tour .
Bretman could be heard singing along to the song in the background.
