The singer, who spoke about for the first time on Sunday, arrived on the American Music Awards red carpet on Tuesday night wearing a minidress version of a disco ball and matching over-the-knee boots.
Wearing a black-and-red sequined bodysuit and thigh-high boots, the diva began the performance with a threatening chuckle and screamed out a scorching rendition of the song with a bevy of backup dancers behind her.
Swift’s appearance at the AMAs is a rare public appearance for the private Grammy winner. Aside from a high-profile attendance at the Billboard Music Awards in May, she hadn’t attended an awards ceremony since the 2016 Grammys, when she gave her final broadcast award show performance (of 1989 hit “Out of the Woods”).
Oh, hello, Taylor Swift!
