Former The Voice Coach Niall Horan brought singer-songwriter Julia Michaels on stage during the L.A. leg of his tour so the pair could perform their duet "What A Time" together live, and the audience was so delighted.
"Night Sixty-Six Los Angeles. Thank you to my wonderful friend of so many years @juliamichaels for joining me. Love ya Floof ❤️," Horan wrote on Instagram, "Floof" being his playful nickname for Michaels (and hers for him).
Fans were overjoyed to see the pair together, and agreed that those in the room at the moment had lucked out. "LA crowd, you guys won literally," commented one fan. Added another, "Absolutely sickening that I wasn’t there for this."
In her own post about the appearance, Michaels shared footage from soundcheck and wrote, "5 years since I’ve been on stage in this capacity and it was magical ❤️ Thank you Niall for having me and to all of the fans who sang along with us!! I love you so much floof @niallhoran."

Niall Horan's tour has featured some great on-stage moments
