Newly single Taylor Swift rocked last night’s Brit Awards stage, performing “I Knew You Were Trouble” in a white, wedding-style dress that she ripped off mid-song to reveal a sexy black romper.

Perhaps getting a glimpse of what he’s missing, Harry Styles was seen smiling in the audience during his former flame’s performance.

Styles was full of praise for his ex after the show, diplomatically telling MailOnline, “I thought her performance was really good, she looked great.”

The two left the awards show separately, as Styles headed to a Sony and Belvedere after party, while Swift stopped by the Universal Music party.

According to a report this week, organizers at the Brit Awards were facing a stiff challenge to keep the two apart in light of their January breakup.

The ex-lovers were said to have had their rehearsal timings changed to keep them apart before their performances at the annual music awards show.

“No one wants anything awkward to happen. Taylor and Harry are definitely being kept well apart,” said a supposed backstage source to The Metro.
