Hello, Song Of The Summer Committee? We know it's late in the season but have you heard this freaking Taylor Swift and Bryan Adams duet? Because it honestly might be a game changer.

In a ~Summer of 2018~ miracle, Swift brought the Canadian singer on stage in Toronto to tag team his 1984 jam, "Summer of '69." It was magical, to say the least, and according to Swift she was "losing it" as much as everyone else.

"I didn’t even know Bryan was gonna be in town until last night and I asked him completely last minute if he wanted to come sing!! Pretty evident from the videos (um yes I’m posting another one) that I’m FULLY LOSING IT with excitement, and I can’t thank @bryanadams enough ✨⭐️💫" Swift captioned a glorious Instagram video of the performance.

Swift then shared more footage of the iconic and fun as heck looking duet on her Instagram story, accurately referring to it as "the best vibe."

Meanwhile, Adams shared some adorable selfies and behind-the-scenes soundcheck videos to further fuel our obsession. Thankfully he was eventually able to master the stage's elevator lift, or this blessed duet might not have happened.

If you're dying to see the full performance a fan graciously uploaded a video to YouTube.

And if you're feeling nostalgic AF for some '80s Bryan Adams right about now, we've got you covered.

Happy summer of '69, I mean 2018, everyone.
