Teddy Swims spotted busking in Queen St Mall ahead of sold-out tour

Stunned Brisbane locals have been treated to an unexpected live performance from the touring Teddy Swims, with the US singer grabbing the mic from a busker to belt out a global hit.

Fans of US singer, Teddy Swims were treated to a surprise performance on Tuesday ahead of his sold out Brisbane concert that night, catching his impromptu busking act in Queen Street Mall.

Swims startled Melbourne-born artist Inoxia, who was busking in the mall, and joined her for a duet in front of a pleasantly shocked audience.

Naturally, the musical moment was posted to social media with fans expressing their excitement and jealousy that they missed the free concert.

“Wish I went to work today!” one Reddit user said.

“Wow. Love Teddy Swims. Now need to check out Inoxia,” another commented.

“I was literally just watching (Inoxia’s) TikTok and got a notification to this post, crazy,” a third wrote.

Swims kicked off the Australian leg of his “I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy Tour” on Tuesday night, performing a sold-out show at Riverstage.

The singer-songwriter, known for blending the genres of RnB, country, and pop into his music, has been spotted busking in multiple countries while on tour.

Last week, Swims took to the New Zealand streets to perform after hitting the Christchurch Town Hall the night before.

Swims will head around the country, performing for sold-out shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth later this month.
