Mitnick portrayed Danny Zuko, while Swift played Sandy Olsson.
In another shot, the “Cruel Summer” singer, now 34, showed her character’s transformation by wearing a big blond curly wig and a strapless black top.
In the musical, Sandy famously goes from being a shy, young teen to a cigarette-smoking, leather-wearing woman after falling in love with bad boy greaser Danny while attending Rydell High School in Chicago in 1959.
Mitnick’s followers flooded the post to express their shock over the blast from the past.
“Also trav the note is an f-sharp if you’re interested,” Mitnick added, shouting out Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
