Get Ready For Taylor Swift's First Awards Show Performance Of The Reputation Era

Later this week, Taylor Swift will pack up her flame launchers and giant inflatable snakes as she wraps up the North American leg of her massive Reputation tour. However before jetting off to Australia for the next installment, she'll make a pit stop at the American Music Awards on October 9 to do something very, very bad.


The pop star reported Tuesday morning (October 2) that she's starting the AMAs next week with an efficiency of the Reputation banger "I Did Something Bad." She and her kitty/bestie Meredith broke the news in a pretty video, with Swift quipping, "Don't be also excited about it, my god," as Meredith slunk away mid-announcement (Mer wanted "Getaway Vehicle because the next single, I guess).


Though "I Did Something Bad" was never a solitary, it's an easy fan-favorite thanks to its warped vocals and venomous lyrics like, "If a gentleman talks shit them I owe him nothing / I don't regret it one bit 'cause he had it coming" and "They're burning all of witches even in case you aren't one / So light me up."





Even more exhilarating, this is Swift's first awards show efficiency in almost three years, and her first of the infamously media-shy Reputation era. The last time she graced an awards show stage, believe it or not, was back in February 2016, as soon as she opened the Grammys with "Out of the Woods."


Besides performing at the AMAs, Swift is nominated in four categories, including Artist of the Year, alongside Ed Sheeran, Drake, Imagine Dragons, and Post Malone. The show airs on Tuesday, October 9 on ABC.
