She stepped out on stage ready to sparkle in a glittery cut out crop top and purple mini, and finished off with boots to match! If she was hoping to shine, she definitely did that and more!
It was the cheeky cut out crop that really caught our eye though, with it making the most of Taylor's frame too.
