Taylor Swift captivated the audience as she took to the stage at the 2019 gala of Alibaba's 11.11 Global Shopping Festival at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai, China on Sunday evening.  The award-winning musician, 29, ensured all eyes were on her as she performed her hit singles in a silver bedazzled belted jacket, embellished with geometric printing throughout.  Maintaining her quirky display, the You Belong To Me hitmaker tied in her bold outerwear piece with a clingy bodysuit and thigh-high heeled boots of the same pattern. The Me! singer injected a hint of colour to her look as she accentuated her beauty with her signature matte red lipstick, complemented with heavily-winged eyeliner and generous sweeps of blusher. With her tresses styled into loose waves, Taylor appeared in great spirits as she delighted the crowd with her lively set at the glitzy ceremony. Last year, over 400 million people took part in Alibaba's 11.11, with a whopping $30.8 billion in gross merchandising volume over the 24-hour sale, eclipsing America's Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined ($24.2 billion). The singer is just as big in China as she is in the United States, with her new album Lover topping more than 1 million in album equivalent sales in its first week. |

Taylor Swift helped kick off Alibaba's annual 24-hr shopping extravaganza known as Singles' Day in Shanghai, China by performing hits off her latest album "Lover". http://instagram.com/p/B4ul_NlDrBV Clad in a sparkly mod mini-dress, the superstar posed in front a wall featuring the winged heart used in her recent capsule collection with Stella McCartney and a major installation of pastel-hued balloons. "Dressing room was lit," the superstar wrote on Instagram alongside a series of snaps showing off the Lover-inspired room, which also contained illustrations of wide-eyed cats and multiple cuddly teddy bears.  Swift was in China to perform as the headliner for Alibaba's Singles' Day shopping extravaganza in Shanghai -- the country's equivalent to Black Friday in the U.S. The pop star (affectionately nicknamed Mei Mei by her Chinese fans) opened her three-song set with lead Lover-era single "Me!" before subsequently performing "You Need To Calm Down" and the starry-eyed title track. |

Before putting on a Q & A in front of a stadium full of cheering followers in Guangzhou on Monday, Taylor Swift enjoyed some down time in her impeccably decorated pink dressing room.  The 29-year-old pop star posted a series of photos to Instagram of herself lounging around the festive room and reveling in its cat decorations.  Taylor looked as if she'd been wrapped up in gift paper with her short multicolored dress that highlighted her svelte legs.  The sequin-covered outfit had long sleeves and was decorated in a plaid pattern with shades of blue, yellow and pink. |
