Welcome to the Knockout rounds, rather.
But you might have mistaken it for just another stop on the1989press tour.
The album, after all, is out today.
And heres the thing: She was great at it.
Im not just saying this as a Taylor fan, which I am.
T-Swift gave advice that shaped performances.
Sorry not sorry, for raving about Taylor.
So, here are my top picks.
During rehearsal, Swift said she needed to wait before moving her legs, and she was right.
But then I also have some sentimental favorites.
The other coaches were clearly on Toias sidePharrell even got up and grooved during her performancebut Adam was right.
Damiens choice of song and performance proved him to be an artist who is ultimately more mature.
Best starstruck moment
Poor little Tanner Linford.
He was so overwhelmed to see Taylor Swift he tripped coming up on stage.
Very cooooool, he said.
He also confessed, I should have hugged her or something.
I didnt even hug her.
Best Swift put-downs
Before a contestant arrived Adam told Swift he was part cyborg.
She said, It sounds like a conversation for maybe never.
Thats not the same, she said.
Taylor corrected that to cats.
Donotmess with T-Swift and her cats.
