Russell Wilson and Ciara appear to have joined Taylor Swift's squad as the couple joined the "Shake it Off" singer onstage at her "1989" concert in Seattle, Washington. 

On Saturday, Aug. 8, while performing her song "Style" at the CenturyLink Field, Swift invited Ciara to walk onstage as if it were a runway. Moments later, she was joined by the Seattle Seahawks quarterback. Ciara, 29, and Wilson, 26, dressed in coordinating outfits for the appearance, both wearing fitted black shirts, dark jeans, and black leather jackets. The "Get Up" singer wore her hair loose and accessorized with a pair of dark sunglasses. 

This isn't the first time that Swift had surprise guests at her concert. The singer, who is currently in the middle of her "1989" tour, has had her good friends Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss, Martha Hunt, Lily Aldridge, Cara Delevingne, Serayah, Kendall Jenner, Hailee Steinfeld, and Lena Dunham join her onstage for the "Style" number. Other guests who walked the runway at her concerts include Serena Williams, the U.S. Women's Soccer National team, and Mariska Hargitay. 

Of Wilson's and Ciara's appearance at her concert, the "Bad Blood" singer took to Twitter on Aug. 9 and wrote, "That Seattle crowd went ABSOLUTELY INSANE when @Ciara and @DangeRussWilson walked out!! I LOVED TONIGHT." 

Moments later, the "1,2 Step" hitmaker responded, "@taylorswift13 You're Truly Awesome! @DangeRussWilson and I had fun rocking with you on stage tonight." 

Wilson also took to the micro blogging site to thank Swift for inviting him and his girlfriend.

"The crowd was rocking like always in CLink!" the football star wrote. "Hope you loved Seattle!!"

This is the couple's most recent public appearance following last month's Kids' Choice Sports Awards where Wilson served as the event's host, and he and Ciara even danced the "Whip and Nae Nae" dance together, to the delight of the audience.

The couple, who has made headlines when they confirmed that they were practicing abstinence until they wed, looked happier than ever at their "1989" appearance, and many are speculating that Wilson might be proposing very soon. In a recent interview on Kiro 7 in Seattle last week, Wilson was asked which would come first: a Superbowl ring for him or an engagement ring for Ciara. 

"Hopefully both," the football star reportedly said.
