Taylor Swift makes the excuse "but she's so young" sound incorrect when people talk about the glaring garishness on the red carpet of the American Music Awards. A bigger skinfest than usual, even Swift managed to give the audience a glance at her gams and still look like a day. And her bangs and top knot only enhanced the fact.

Swift actually donned three looks throughout the evening. First, it was the aforementioned gold long-sleeved lace mini. Then she wore a white Grecian chiffon gown (our guess was J. Mendel) for her performance that tore off (what a shame!) to a red corset and black tulle petticoat. The beaded booties with her stage look made all of it a little rock 'n' roll. The girl knows how to mix it up. All of her looks were diverse, flattering and fun. That's not an easy thing to do, let alone three times in one night.
