00:00 Joey King is opening up about her experience
00:02 joining Taylor Swift on stage during the heiress tour.
00:05 Back at Swift's July 7th tour stop in Kansas City, Missouri,
00:10 the superstar singer and songwriter brought King,
00:12 Taylor Lautner, and Presley Cash out on stage
00:15 following the premiere of her music video for "I Can See You",
00:18 Taylor's version from The Vault, which they all starred in.
00:20 ♪ I can see you ♪
00:23 The premiere occurred the same day Swift released
00:27 her re-recorded album, "Speak Now", Taylor's version.
00:30 While King is used to having fans,
00:31 she told CNN of the experience,
00:33 "That's a different level.
00:35 "It's a very niche experience to walk out on a stage
00:37 "of 70,000 plus people."
00:39 The Kissing Booth actress revealed that she didn't realize
00:42 she'd be joining the anti-hero singer on stage
00:44 until she arrived at the concert.
00:46 King said, "I started sweating and freaking out
00:49 "and I got really nervous, but it was incredible
00:51 "to just have that experience
00:52 "and feel that energy coming at you."
00:55 The actress also compared being on stage
00:57 in front of tens of thousands of people
00:58 to the feeling of an ice bath.
01:00 She said, "It just takes your breath away
01:03 "and you're genuinely caught for breath.
01:05 "It was truly a breathtaking experience
01:06 "to see all those people that are sending
01:08 "all this energy at you directly.
01:10 "It was exhilarating."
01:12 King and Swift first worked together in 2011
01:15 when the former starred in the latter's music video
01:17 for her hit song, "Mean".
