Kate Blanchett Dazzles Audience with Surprise Performance at 2023 Glastonbury Festival
The Glastonbury Festival is known for its surprise performances and this year was no exception.
On Friday night, the crowd was in for a special treat when Kate Blanchett made a surprise appearance during the Sparks performance of The Girl Is Crying in her latte.
Lead singer Russell Mayle introduced Blanchett to the stage in the middle of their set by telling the audience that they were in for a special treat tonight.
“We did a video for this song recently, and we had the amazing honour of having Kate Blanchett join us in that video.
We give you, Kate Blanchett,” he said, as the star, wearing a yellow suit similar to one from the music video, walked out from behind the stage.

Blanchett almost mirrored her look from the video exactly with a black undershirt, bright red Beats headphones, and white and black shoes.
The only difference was her eyeglasses, which were an emerald green instead of black.
As the song began, Blanchett mimicked her erratic dancing from the video on stage, throwing her arms through the air and moving her hips to the beat.
This time around, though, she added some new moves, including circular motions made with her arms, shoulder shrugs, and head tilts, and she even moved her legs in and out to the beat.
The audience erupted in cheers after the performance was done, and Blanchett hugged keyboard player Ron Mayle before exiting the stage.
The moment trended on Twitter, with many people praising the star for her legendary moves.
One person tweeted, “Give Kate Blanchett another Oscar for performing at Glastonbury” while another wrote, “I could watch Kate Blanchett dancing on this song by Sparks for hours.”
The band gave a special thanks to the actress after the event on social media, sharing a photo with her in front of the packed festival crowd.
Blanchett wasn’t the only Oscar-winning actress to make a surprise appearance at the festival, as Tilda Swinton also took the stage at the four-day event, according to Rolling Stone.
