It was always bound to be awkward, two exes showing up to a highly publicised awards ceremony, potentially bumping into each other for the first time since splitting.

And things certainly must have been tense at the NRJ Music Awards in France on Saturday night as Taylor Swift sang 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' with former lover Harry Styles sat in the audience.

The country starlet gave a dazzling performance of the song, changing out of her arrival outfit to take to the stage in a minuscule black lace number with sexy knee high boots.

Taylor gave it her all, knowing full well her former boyfriend, One Direction's Harry, was sat watching her from his seat.

 

Although he got his own back when he took his turn on stage, singing with his bandmates before becoming victorious and walking away with the Best International Group gong.

But he did seem quieter and more solemn than usual when he first showed up on the red carpet.

Swift lead the glamour set at the annual ceremony, ensuring if she did run into former lover Styles that she would at least look her best for the occasion.

Taylor stood out on the red carpet, showing off her enviably slender legs in a plunging gold gown.

She sparkled in the ensemble, which flattered her slim physique, while she finished off her look with complimentary gold heels.

And it was a good job she looked so on form as she then had to sit through the ceremony watching Styles and his band perform, before then picking up the award for Best International Group.

The boys showed up at the event wearing matching ensembles in co-ordinating black and brown.

And while the boys seemed in a playful mood, with Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik clowning around on the carpet, Harry seemed pensive on entry.

Although he put in a stellar performance, knowing his ex would be there to see him in all his glory.

But he was made victorious as the boys picked up one of the biggest awards of the night.

Tweeting after taking to the stage, Styles wrote: 'Thank you so much to @NRJhitmusiconly and our fans for the award!! See you later .xx.'

She completed her style with her hair worn down and straight, with plenty of lip gloss perfecting her pout.

Leading up to the event there has been much speculation that Styles and Swift are planning a big reunion after reportedly holding crisis talks to salvage their relationship in London.

And while Taylor has been spotted living it up in Cannes in the lead up to the bash, Styles was seen arriving in the region with his bandmates on Saturday morning looking somewhat glum.

"Harry and Taylor arrived separately to the event but were rumoured to be using the event to rekindle their romance" - well of course they arrived separately, she isn't a member of one direction is she?! For goodness sake.

She's not showing him anything ... he dumped her because she's "uninterested" in anything to do with sex. What's she going to show him that he is missing? Her shirt? She never gave anything so he's not missing anything. Silly girls.

She looks absolutely breathtaking, fresh, young and elegant... I'm not a huge fan, but credit where credit is due.

Argh! I am getting so tired of hearing about this girl and her boyfriends.... One after another, after another! I wonder if she can ever be happy without a man in her life. Just for awhile.
