China is celebrating their pride in being single today, November 11, 2019. The event is the largest offline and online shopping day in the world, with Alibaba shoppers spending more than USD 10 billion in less than 30 minutes of the event going live this year. And the biggest shopping gala was graced by pop superstar, Taylor Swift who delivered the latest hits from her album Lover to screaming fans in China. The award-winning musician ensured that all eyes were on her at the 11.11 Global Shopping Festival Countdown Gala. People cannot stop talking about the thrilling performance that the 29-year-old delivered and the craze is undoubtedly going to be there among fans for a longer time. Twitter is filled with moments from Alibaba’s Singles’ Day shopping festival. Photos and videos of Taylor performing at the magnificent event have taken over the internet.
Rocking in her signature matte red lipstick and winged eyeliner, the singer kicked off the show with the upbeat single "Me!" Like all her performance, the pop star made a quirky display, tied in her bold metallic and silver bedazzled belted jacket with a clingy bodysuit and thigh-high heeled boots—all of the same pattern. With her tresses styled in loose waves, Taylor appeared in her high spirits as she sang her latest hits at the show.
