The singer, who spoke for the first time on Sunday, arrived at the American Music Awards red carpet on Tuesday night wearing a midi dress reminiscent of a disco ball and matching over-the-knee boots. Sporting a black-and-red sequined bodysuit and thigh-high boots, the diva began the performance with a teasing chuckle and let out a soaring rendition of the song with a group of backup dancers behind her.

Swift’s appearance at the AMAs is a rare public appearance for the private Grammy winner. Apart from a high-profile appearance at the Billboard Music Awards in May, she hadn’t attended an awards ceremony since the 2016 Grammys, where she gave her final broadcast award show performance of the 1989 hit “Out of the Woods”.

Hey there, Taylor Swift!
