Following a headline-making spat with ex-label Big Machine Records, pop diva Taylor Swift broke out several of her past hits Sunday during her performance at the 2019 American Music Awards.
These were the six songs featured in her medley:
1. "The Man" (from "Lover," 2019)
In what "Entertainment Tonight" described as a nod to her spat with Big Machine's Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun, Swift, clad in a jacket bearing her old album titles, kicked off her performance with an excerpt of her new song "The Man," which includes the lyrics: "And I'm so sick of them coming at me again / 'Cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man."
2. "Love Story" (from "Fearless," 2009)
Swift, who was named Artist of the Decade at Sunday's ceremony, followed with a 10-year-old blast from the past, "Love Story," from her second album, "Fearless."
3. "I Knew You Were Trouble" (from "Red," 2012)
Swift's next song was what Rolling Stone called "an exuberant" version of her 2012 hit "I Knew You Were Trouble."
4. "Blank Space" (from "1989," 2014)
Swift turned to her 2014 album, "1989," for her next song, "Blank Space."
5. "Shake It Off" (from "1989," 2014)
Singers Camila Cabello and Halsey took the stage with Swift to perform fan favorite "Shake It Off," another track from "1989."
6. "Lover" (from "Lover," 2019)
Swift's performance concluded with "Lover," the title song from her newest album. Acclaimed ballet dancers Misty Copeland and Craig Hall joined the pop star on stage during the popular ballad, according to CNBC.
