On Aug. 2, Dacus, 30, recently performed at the Osheaga Music Festival in Montreal, where she did a surprise duet with The Killers, who were headlining at the Parc Jean-Drapeau, per fan-captured YouTube footage.
Dacus took the stage with frontman Brandon Flowers for a rendition of the rock group’s 2006 Sam’s Town single “Read My Mind.”
Following the set, the “Ankles” performer wrote on X, “Who… has a video of me singing with the killers tonight (I’m dead).”
Dacus’ sang an acoustic rendition of the track back in November 2018 with the indie-rock supergroup Boygenius at Los Angeles’ Wiltern Theatre, per fan-captured YouTube footage.
But the “Modigliani” musician hadn’t performed the song live in nearly seven years until the festival.
Dacus is currently in the midst of her Forever Is a Feeling tour, supporting her 2025 album of the same name.
In March, she spoke to PEOPLE about Forever Is a Feeling, revealing she had never been as vulnerable about love in her music.
“I just couldn’t really fight what I was feeling on a deeper level,” Dacus told PEOPLE at the time. “Even if it didn’t make sense, I had to see about it.”
According to the “Thumbs” performer, she “was really moved in an instinctual way instead of a think-y way” when it came to the music.
“I think a lot of love is, dare I say, cerebral,” Dacus added.
She is set to resume performing on Saturday, Aug. 16 in Berkeley, Calif.
