This is what the Taylor Swift fans could only hope for when they decided to come to tonight's show. "Welcome to F1 on a Saturday night," the audibly beloved star welcomed close to 80,000 screaming fans as she strutted across the stage in a short, black, sparkly number. During her first and only concert performance of 2016, Formula 1 U.S. Grand Prix weekend in Austin, Texas, the Grammy winner tore through a number of her hits—but the cherry on top may have been a stripped-down version of "This Is What You Came For," the track Swift co-wrote for then-boyfriend Calvin Harristhat became a huge, song-of-the-summer hit for the Scottish DJ-producer and Rihanna.

Scattered in the crowd at Taylor Swift's only concert performance of 2016 were plenty of signs from fans attesting to how far they'd traveled to be in Austin on Saturday night. Plenty belonged to residents of far eastern or Pacific states, but the one that verified a trip from Honduras (approx. distance: 1,270 miles) to see Swift live was a pretty stark testament to the level of star power in play. What the estimated 80,000 fans gathered from all compass points at the Circuit of The Americas race track got was an emphatic statement of why Swift is the recipient of such loyalty from fans all over the globe. From the moment Swift emerged from jets of colored fog to the drum snap of "New Romantics," she commanded the huge festival-sized stage in front of her and projected every stalking step, shimmy and perfectly timed wink or hair flip out to the tens of thousands of fans gathered acres away on lawn seating.

The “Firework” singer, 32, seemed to reference their longstanding feud at Kanye West‘s concert at the Forum in Los Angeles on Wednesday, where she Snapchatted herself making a face during Yeezy’s performance of “Famous.” While West, 39, rapped, “For all my Southside n—-s that know me best / I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous,” Perry scrunches her face, then widens her eyes in an extreme close-up. In July, West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, posted a video of the “Shake It Off” singer apparently giving West her blessing to rap about her in “Famous.” She later denied approving the “that bitch” line.

Former country princess Taylor Swift closed the CMAs tonight, presenting the Entertainer of the Year award to Garth Brooks. Her look, en embroidered graphic cut out gown from Julien Macdonald's spring/summer 2017 collection, was quite a departure from CMAs past:

In 2014, the country awards show took place just weeks after Swift released her decidedly-poppy album 1989, prompting co-hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood to joke, "Country music's just gonna have to shake it off." But during Wednesday night's awards, Swift made a surprise appearance to present the Entertainer of the Year trophy — which she won in 2009 and 2011 (and was nominated for in 2012 and 2013) — to country legend Garth Brooks. "It's been almost 13 years since I came to Nashville with a dream of being a songwriter and a recording artist," she continued. "And I learned so much about what it means to be an entertainer from the remarkable artists in this arena tonight. That's just one of the reasons I feel so honored to present this next award to any one of these five outstanding nominees for Entertainer of the Year, and be a part of this historic night we'll all remember." She wasn't the only big-name pop star to surprise viewers during the awards, with Beyonce joining the Dixie Chicks for a twangy rendition of Lemonade's country standout Daddy Lessons.
