She took to the stage in a spangly bodysuit, while sporting her stylish new bob hairstyle, and performing the sixth single from her latest album, ‘1989’.

Addressing the audience, she said: “Welcome to the Grammy Awards 2016. But tonight… it’s 1989. Put your hands up.”

'Tonight... it's 1989'

Among the seven nods Taylor received at this year’s Grammys included Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for ‘1989’, while her songs ‘Shake It Off’ and ‘Blank Space’ also received nominations in the Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Pop Solo Performance categories.

Taylor was one of the talking points of the night before the ceremony had even got going, thanks to her eye-catching outfit on the red carpet.

She was seen sporting an orange crop-top, paired with a long, pink skirt as she posed for photographers with her date for the evening, her BFF Selena Gomez.
