This look from the 2014 American Music Awards was major. Taylor Swift opened the show and committed to recreating her crazy "Blank Space" music video character in a gorgeous gold-beaded custom creation by Yousef Aljasmi.

The dramatic performance included Taylor poisoning a suitor, holding fire and throwing another one of her conquests off the stage.

_
When opening the Grammys in 2013, Taylor Swift decided to switch up her circus ringleader look by donning an all-white version for her performance of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." She kicked it off wearing a white top hat and full-length coat, but by the end of the song, she'd ditched the costume pieces to better move around the stage. Many speculated that Taylor blatantly called out ex Harry Styles during the performance when she used an exaggerated British accent while saying the track's infamous ex-boyfriend line. The two had broken up just a month earlier.
_
The "1989" world tour gave us some great style moments — but one of the most unexpected had to be this jumpsuit! While we're used to seeing Taylor in crop tops and miniskirts, cut-outs and leather aren't typically words used to describe her wardrobe. But Taylor showed off a brand-new style on this tour in 2015, including when she wore this sleeveless black leather one-piece, seen here as she rocked out alongside special guest Keith Urban during her Toronto stop.
_
For her second performance at the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Taylor Swift worked the runway in a short, sparkly, jewel-encrusted custom Victoria's Secret number.

While performing her hit "I Knew You Were Trouble," she shared a sweet moment with close friend Lily Aldridge, holding hands with the Victoria's Secret Angel as she walked down the runway. That night was the first time Taylor met another one of her famous BFFs: model Karlie Kloss.

Rocking a bright blue unicorn-emblazoned tee and high-waisted black shorts, Taylor Swift performed her hit song "22" at the Billboard Music Awards in 2013. Taylor's performance was considered the most spirited of the night, and she ended up taking home eight awards. Maybe that graphic tee, which read "Haters Gonna Hate," inspired her to later write that line in "Shake It Off"?
_
Taylor Swift dazzled the crowd at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards with her 1920s-themed performance of "Shake It Off."

_
For her triumphant return to the stage in 2017 during Super Bowl weekend, Taylor Swift tapped Versace for the perfect performance ensemble.

_
While Taylor Swift's 2009 MTV Video Music Awards appearance might best be remembered for the infamous Kanye West storming-the-stage moment during her acceptance speech for best female video for "You Belong With Me," she also gave a memorable performance that night. Singing atop a New York City cab right outside of Radio City Music Hall, Taylor rocked a short, bright red dress. She stayed in the red number for the rest of the award ceremony, including the moment Beyonce invited her on-stage to give the acceptance speech she was denied earlier.
_
Pretty in pink! Taylor Swift's love affair with crop tops continued at the iHeartRadio Musical Festival in 2014.

Taylor performed a medley of some of her biggest hits at the music festival at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, ending with "Shake It Off" accompanied by a four-piece brass section.
_
Taylor Swift debuted her single "Innocent" at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards one year after Kanye West memorably embarrassed himself by storming the stage to usurp Taylor's best female video speech. Many speculated that Taylor might have written the ballad about Kanye (sample lyric: "32 and still growing up now" — the rapper was 32 during the debacle). For the dramatic performance, Taylor opted to go barefoot, wearing a simple, strapless Dolce & Gabbana dress with throwback curls and red lipstick.
_
At the 2007 Academy of Country Music Awards, a then 16-year-old Taylor Swift made her awards debut singing her hit "Tim McGraw" in a simple, strapless white gown complete with beading and feathers.

While performing, Taylor famously approached Tim McGraw in the audience and after she finished singing, introduced herself to her song's namesake by shaking his hand and saying, "Hi, I'm Taylor."
_
For a performance in Shanghai, China, to kick off the Alibaba 11.11 Global Shopping Festival in November 2019, Taylor wore a graphic gray-and-white jacket over matching shorts paired with slouchy over-the-knee boots in the same fabric, all custom made by stylist Joseph Cassell Falconer.

Performing "I Knew You Were Trouble," Taylor Swift decided to show off her bad-girl side at the 2013 BRIT Awards. Taylor started the performance with her hair up and wearing a high-necked, long and flowing white gown, reminiscent of many of her typical stage outfits. But halfway through the song, Taylor's male dancers stripped the conservative gown off her to reveal a skimpy black ensemble underneath, which was custom designed for the singer by Marina Toybina. Taylor dramatically let her hair down and danced seductively to the tune, all while her ex Harry Styles, who was rumored to have inspired it, watched by the side of the stage.
_
On a Parisian cafe-themed set, Taylor Swift performed her single "Begin Again" at the 2012 CMAs. The single's music video takes place in Paris and Taylor went with a sweet and simple look to match, donning a knee-length red dress and flowered Oscar de la Renta peep-toe heels. The former country crooner didn't go home with any awards that night, but she did receive a standing ovation for her performance.
_
At the 2010 American Music Awards, Taylor Swift went with a sleek, sophisticated look, debuting new bangs and super-straight hair.

She paired a black Helmut Lang blazer with super skinny black Citizens of Humanity pants, and styled her blonde hair in a ponytail.
_
In 2012, Taylor Swift looked adorable during a "Good Morning America" appearance to promote her album "Red." The singer paired an Alice + Olivia black sweater adorned with rhinestones with a black skirt and glittery black Prada oxfords. Performing the title track off of the album, Taylor accessorized her all-black ensemble with red lips, a red guitar and a red microphone while singing for a crowd in the middle of Times Square.

The "1989" world tour had Taylor Swift wearing plenty of fabulous fashion — but one of our favorite looks had to be this multicolored two-piece, seen here during a stop in Toronto in October 2015. It was a classic throwback to her love of matching separates, and the short shorts paired with the crop top proved to be one of the cutest looks she debuted during that tour.

Seated behind a piano, Taylor Swift delivered an emotional rendition of "All Too Well" at the 2014 Grammys.

_
Taylor Swift took the stage with Stevie Nicks at the 2010 Grammys wearing a cool and casual look. Taylor paired a white, ruffled and beaded Rebecca Taylor tunic with black pants and knee-high black boots and kept her hair down and curly. She brought out Stevie to sing the Fleetwood Mac superstar's hit "Rhiannon," and then Stevie stuck around to sing background vocals and play the tambourine for Taylor's "You Belong With Me."
_
Taylor Swift took the stage at the 2016 Grammys to sing her hit "Out of the Woods." The set had a woodsy vibe, and the singer's ensemble — a sparkly black jumpsuit complete with built-in boots — fit the dark mood. The sheer paneling on the side gave the catsuit a little edge, but the red lip and sleek bob kept things classically Taylor.

Taylor Swift opened the 2018 American Music Awards with "I Did Something Bad" rocking this sleek black sparkling bodysuit. She completed the edgy look with over-the-knee boots, flesh-colored fishnets and a chunky black belt.
