Taylor Swift and Beyoncé have been compared, and even pitted against each other, by fans and award shows. But publicly, the two have shared nothing but mutual respect, admiration and displays of support.

Swift wrote a message commemorating the moment.

“I’m so glad I’ll never know what my life would’ve been like without @beyonce‘s influence,” Swift wrote on Instagram. “The way she’s taught me and every artist out here to break rules and defy industry norms. Her generosity of spirit. Her resilience and versatility. She’s been a guiding light throughout my career and the fact that she showed up tonight was like an actual fairytale.”

Here’s a look back at other times the two have united, and what they’ve said about one another.
