Niall Horan And Lewis Capaldi Made Our 'Teenage Dream' Come True With A Dazzling Acoustic Cover

With Christmas just days away, it's time for us to face the facts: The iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour 2019 is nearing its end. Luckily, the tour isn't coming to close without a couple of surprises first. And last night, Niall Horan and Lewis Capaldi took the stage with each other at Chicago's Allstate Arena for 103.5 KISS FM's Jingle Ball with the most angelic cover of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" you've ever heard.


Admittedly nervous, the two started their cover of the hit song by strumming on their acoustic guitars. "We practiced this in the washroom Horan explained. "We didn't do a soundcheck, so God is aware what occurs in the second three minutes." Fortunately, those next three minutes were absolute magic, with Horan and Capaldi splitting the verses and coming with each other to harmonize on the chorus.


Their duet was special for several reasons. First and foremost, the whole arena joined in, reminding us all that Perry's hit 2010 single about being young and falling in love still hits. Furthermore, fans of both Horan and Capaldi know that they're actually very close companions in real life, making their rendition of the song that much more dazzling and heartwarming.


"Niall Horan and Lewis Capaldi's friendship is pure gold," one fan tweeted right after watching their efficiency. "We shall treasure it forever." And loads of other fans on the world wide web agree. Case in point, a number of people on Twitter requested that the two get in the studio with each other and record a studio version of their previously unrehearsed, stripped-down cover.


While it's also soon to tell whether a studio version of their cover will ever come to fruition, what we do know is that this won't be the last time we'll be seeing Horan and Capaldi with each other on the same stage. Not only are they both scheduled to perform tonight (December 20) in Atlanta for Power 96.1's Jingle Ball, yet Capaldi is also joining Horan on his Nice To Meet Ya North American tour this coming spring, which kicks off in Nashville on April 20. Visualize you there!
