Taylor Swift captivated the MTV Video Music Awards audience with an energetic performance of her latest summer single, Shake It Off.
Clad in a sparkling two-piece dress that revealed her midriff, the 24-year-old hit-maker showed off her slim physique - and stamina - as she danced about the stage with her army of back-up dancers.
Introduced by her 17-year-old friend Lorde, Taylor's movement-heavy performance began with the singer lying upon the floor of the stage beside her tuxedo-clad dancers.
Shake it off! Taylor Swift was lifted into the air by two back-up dancers as she performed her latest single Shake It Off in a sparkling dress at the MTV Video Music Awards in Inglewood on Sunday
Microphone in hand, Taylor strutted about the circular stage just before two dancers lifted her high into the air and upon the shoulders.
After touching down onto the ground in her silver heels, Taylor joined several other female back-up singers, who were all clad in an outfit much like the country star.
The Love Song singer's dance moves were put on full display as she happily shook her pert derriere to the tune of the track.
Sky high: The Red singer stole the spotlight as she sung in the arms of her back-up dancers
Impressive: A back-up dancer jumped into the air while his fellow dancers prepared to catch him
Not afraid of heights: The back-up dancer didn't seem fazed as he was lifted into the air
In the moment: Swift closed her eyes as she performed for the ecstatic audience
Later, the Red hit-maker danced and sang atop a giant 1989 display.
With numerous back-up dancers waiting for her to jump into their arms at the bottom of the display, Taylor peered down at them with an incredulous expression.
The singer breathlessly remarked: 'No. One second... I don't care if it's the VMA's, I'm not jumping off there.
All together now: The back-up singers lifted their arms up into the sky like Taylor
Toned and trim: The singer's slim figure was put on full display thanks to her sparkling dress
All eyes on her: The dancers all surrounded Taylor as she shook her hips to the tune
Show stopper: The 24-year-old raised her arm up into the air, her toned legs on full display
'There's all kinds of people getting bit by snakes. Dangerous,' the statuesque singer finished as she ran downstairs to meet her dancers at the base of the stage.
Upon resuming the song, Taylor joined her back-up dancers at the center of the stage, where she tossed her hair after completing her energetic performance.
When Taylor wasn't on stage dancing, the singer seemed to be having just as much fun in the audience with gal pal Lorde.
Didn't take the plunge: Rather than jump off the 1989 display, Taylor playfully decided to meet her back-up dancers at the bottom by walking to them
Dazzling: Taylor's performance ended as she ran towards the center of the stage
Dancing in the seats: Taylor couldn't resist but move to the music beside gal pal Lorde and a friend
Laughter: The trio sure seemed to be having quite the riot as they clapped
Alongside a friend, the singers were seen playfully dancing in their seats.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift squeezed in a moment to pose beside fellow hit-makers Jennifer Lopez, Demi Lovato, and Jessie J.
Jennifer looked incredible while clad in a silver, chain-inspired frock, while Demi covered up in a sultry red dress.
Jessie J opted for a bold look, and teamed her black maxi skirt with a somewhat sheer beaded crop top.
Enthused: Taylor looked to be laughing alongside Lorde, while their friend clenched her fists
Good friends: The hit-maker posed alongside her friend Lorde, who was the recipient of Best Rock Video
Sizzling: As usual, Jennifer Lopez looked incredible as she bared her toned physique in a chain-inspired ensemble
Red hot: Demi Lovato showed off her figure in a clingy crimson dress, and matched the frock with a coat of nail polish and lipstick
Daring: Jessie J caught the eye in a bold and somewhat sheer crop top
