Taylor Swift took the stage of the 58th Annual Grammy Awards on Monday, February 15, not to collect her trophy but to cater the audience. The country-turned-pop superstar opened the show hosted by LL Cool J with a performance of her latest single "Out of the Woods".
The 26-year-old singer, who debuted new shorter do that night, was literally dazzling in a glittering blue jumpsuit. Joined by Jack Antonoff who played guitar, she sang with the backdrop of fake trees to match the song's lyrics.
Adele who sat on the front row was clearly enjoying the performance as she moved her body to the tune of the song.
Other performers who already took the stage were Carrie Underwood and Sam Hunt, presenting the first duet of the night. Hunt, who performed at the event for the first time, began solo with his "Take Your Time" while sitting on a stool.
Underwood then joined him, showing up in a whimsy white and black dress. After singing several lines of Hunt's song, they transitioned to a duet of Underwood's "Heartbeat" and kept going back-and-forth between the two songs until the end of the performance.
Swift won the Grammys for Best Music Video for her "Bad Blood" visuals and Best Pop Vocal Album Award for her "1989". Underwood is up for Best Country Solo Performance for "Little Toy Guns". Hunt is up for Best New Artist and was nominated Best Country Album for his "Montevallo", but lost the latter to Chris Stapleton for his "Traveller".
