\"Every now and then you hear a song that you love and wish you’d written ... and a HUGE thx to my band as well - we didn’t get to rehearse so ... this is us fully winging it,\" Urban wrote along with the video.

MY HEART EXPLODED INTO CONFETTI HEARTS THANK YOU 🙏 💕💕💕😭 https://t.co/N7fUelR7cU

Swift immediately gushed over Urban's rendition on social media, retweeting and sharing the performance on Instagram stories.

\"Keith Urban covering Lover flawlessly I am screaming this is so beautiful,\" she wrote over the video on IG with a glowing arrow pointing to him on stage, a GIF of a cat throwing confetti and a heart bursting with tiny hearts spilling out.

The perfomance of the chart-topping hit, first tweeted by Urban, has over 13.7K retweets and has been viewed more than 1.3 million times.

Naturally fans of both artists quickly clammored over the idea of a collboration, and although no hints of a duet have dropped it certainly sounds like music to our ears.
