I will give Taylor credit for commitment. She put this on, changed into something else for her performance, then got RIGHT BACK INTO IT. Which means she TWICE donned this voluntarily. Three times if she tried it on before she picked it. A word of caution, Tay: That's WAY too many times for a plausible insanity defense.
I'm TRYING to crack the code here, Taylor, but could you at LEAST buy a vowel or two to help me out?
This is the obligatory moment in which we question WHY she would want to sit down in ANY auditorium with so little between her bits and something beastly.
And THIS is the part where we wonder which wedgie felt worse all night.
She looked lovely during her performance of the admittedly catchy -- but also extremely half-assed and defensive-seeming -- "Shake It Off." I tend to think that if you are a multi-millionaire and you're writing a song to tell all your haters that you aren't listening to them, you are a) totally listening to them, and b) totally not Shaking It Off. But what do I know. Intern George shields us from as much of our hate mail as possible.
