She is a few weeks into a 66 date North American tour which encompasses 47 cities in 29 states.
And Taylor Swift showed she is just getting into her stride as she rocked out on stage in Newark, New Jersey on Thursday.
The star posed provocatively with her red glittery guitar and an intense expression on her face as she performed in short leather black hotpants and lacy cream shirt.

The energetic country singer was also spotted singing in the midst of the audience after being hoisted onto the shoulders of several burly men.
However, the star was back to her usual girl-next door persona a few hours later when she paid a visit to the 'Club Red' area backstage where she met several eager fans.
Sporting bright red lipstick and a pretty lacy dress, took a photograph of herself and a member of the U.S. armed forces.
Another female fan asked the singer to sign the back of her shirt and Taylor happily obliged.
'Newark. You are amazing. See you tomorrow? And the next night? Excellent,' she wrote on her Twitter after the first evening of three dates in the city.

But despite the focus on her music, Taylor still hasn't quite escaped the usual attention on her personal life.
The single star has denied reports that she had started dating Hawaiian surfer John John Florence  after it was reported on Wednesday that she had been text messaging the handsome blonde surfer.
However, a source told E! News of the Life & Style Magazine report: 'There is no truth to this at all. Taylor is not dating - or texting - this guy.'
Rumours of a romance between the pair were fuelled when 20-year-old John was asked about the relationship on Australian television.
'Uh, I’m not supposed to comment about that,' he said.'Yeah, you know, it's kind of a secret thing going on right now. Can't bust it out in the public just yet.'
