American Music Awards 2018: Red carpet fashion, gossip

TAYLOR Swift is back to her best, glittering in a silver mini-dress and over-the-knee boots at the American Music Awards.

The Look What You Made Me Do singer has returned to the spotlight, first breaking her longstanding refusal to discuss politics and now she’s going to give her first awards show performance in three years at the AMAs.
