Taylor Swift shared Keith Urban's cover of her hit song "Lover" on Instagram stories.

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.
