Taylor Swift's promotional trip to London in support of her forthcoming 1989 has included a revealing stop at the BBC's The Graham Norton Show, "outrageous and hilarious" secret album listening sessions, and now a live performance of her massive single "Shake It Off" on the X-Factor UK.
Appearing on the hit TV show Sunday, Swift wore a tight black sequined top and matching high waisted short shorts, revealing her midriff and legs, while performing alongside 10 male backup dancers dressed up for the occasion in black suits and ties. As the set built, Swift was joined by backup singers in black flapper dresses with some moves of their own, providing good company for the pop star's elaborate but never too serious onstage production.
