Taylor Swift made her first red carpet appearance in two years at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday. Joining Jennifer Lopez and Maren Morris on the red carpet, the 28-year-old entertainer flaunted her legs in a rose-colored beaded Versace dress featuring feathers and a long, floor-trailing cape. Her last red carpet appearance was at the 2016 BMI Pop Awards.

Currently in the middle of her smash hit reputation tour, Taylor won the awards for Top Selling Album for reputation and Top Female Artist at the annual awards show. She completed her ensemble with towering metallic Casadei heels ($950 in lilac and blue at Casadei) and Hueb earrings.

“I haven’t been to an awards show in a few years and it is so nice to be here tonight,” the American singer-songwriter said while accepting Top Female Artist. “And it’s so nice to receive female artist. I’m on an all-female artist stadium tour right now, so I have to start out by saying ‘Thank you’ to my tourmates Charli XCX and Camila Cabello.”
