Donning a sheer, beaded black Versace mini dress, Taylor Swift was met with shouts of excitement from 9,000-plus fans as she took the stage during Saturday night’s DIRECTV NOW Super Saturday Night party.
The event—one of many pre-Super Bowl festivities taking place this weekend in Houston—marked the only concert Swift is scheduled to perform during 2017.
“By coming to this show tonight you are attending 100-percent of this year’s tour dates,” Swift told the intimate crowd of concert-goers, which included Peyton and Eli Manning, Alex Rodriguez, Chrissy Teigen, John Legend and more A-list entertainers, models and athletes.

Swift performed a 90-minute set, which included new hits, like, “Style” and “Out of the Woods,” and thrilled the crowd by playing some of her earlier songs, including, “Love Story” and “You Belong With Me.” One of the most exciting moments of the night came when Swift took to her signature glitter encrusted piano to play, “All Too Well,” from the Red album—a song never released on mainstream radio.

Earlier in 2016, Swift made waves when she announced that she wrote the lyrics to the summer hit, “This Is What You Came For,” which was mixed by her former beau, Calvin Harris, and recorded by Rihanna. During her Super Saturday Night performance, Swift asked fans if they would join her in singing the hit, eluding to the fact that she rarely gets to hear fans sing songs she writes for others. The performance also marked the first time she publicly performed another song she wrote, “Better Man,” which was recorded by Little Big Town.
Swift’s Super Bowl weekend performance comes on the heels of her signing a multi-year partnership with AT&T. Under the partnership, Swift will provide AT&T with performance and content deliverables.
Although Swift didn’t elude to what will keep her from performing in 2017, it has been over two-years since the 10-time Grammy award-winner released a new album. Perhaps fans can expect some new music from the performer in 2017?
