Taylor Swift has long had a ‘Reputation’ for selling by the bucketload and obliterating any and all competition on the charts.

Performing, however, has been tricky terrain.

In prior times, her candy coated Pop didn’t demand much from her on-stage. Yet, on her own volition, she upped the ante with lead single ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ – a high-octane cut with a choreography driven video.

It immediately had us wondering whether she’d be able to replicate on stage without the benefit of cuts and edits.

The answer arrived last night at the Jingle Ball 2017. See how she fared with the first live showing of the song below…

Ed Sheeran and Beyonce have long expressed their appreciation of each other’s talents. However, even the Brit singer was surprised that Queen Bey agreed to pair up.

Stopping by the ‘Ellen’ show, the 26-year-old opened up about how the hit collab came about.

He explained that he was eyeing an angle to give the song fresh life after it became a fan favorite early in the ‘÷’ lifecycle and thought of Bey.

Unsure if she’d accept his offer, he took a leap of faith and made the call.

Alexandra Burke is amazing on the mic and is proving equally as arresting on the dance-floor.

The Brit-belter, who rose to fame as the winner of The X Factor after performing with Beyonce, is currently competing on the current series of the BBC’s ‘Strictly Come Dancing.’

Much like the US’ ‘Dancing With The Stars,’ the series sees celebrities battle it out each week in a quest for the coveted ballroom trophy.

Oft commanding an audience of 10 million + each week, the show is renown for being a potent promotional platform and the real “win” tends to be for competitors careers.

With Alex readying new material, it’s smart timing. Especially as she’s slaying!

Watch her week 11 performance of the Charleston with partner Gorka Marquez. Their song was ‘Supercalifragilistic’ from ‘Mary Poppins.’
