And Taylor couldn’t have looked happier as she arrived New Jersey’s Prudential Center for the star-studded event.
She performed her track Lover live for the first time, strumming her guitar in hotpants and a metallic corset.
Back on the red carpet she was joined by Canadian superstar Shawn Mendes who looked dapper in a green suit and appeared thankful for the support he received as he brought his hands together in a prayer gesture.
Lizzo turned heads in a very sassy red dress and was flanked by security as she walked the carpet.
America’s Got Talent star Heidi Klum flashed a peace sign in a plunging black number just days after marrying her husband Tom Kaulitz aboard a yacht on the Amalfi coast.
