She also became the first musical artist since The Beatles to top the chart for six weeks or more with consecutive studio albums. Therefore, for Victoria's Secret, it made perfect sense for Swift to perform at the brand's famous fashion show in 2013. The 1.78m tall beauty Taylor Swift, alongside the Fall Out Boy, brought a spectacular performance to VSFS as she confidently walked alongside the 'angels.' Taylor was continuously invited to perform at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2013 and 2014, but perhaps the most impressive is her debut appearance on the Victoria's Secret stage.
