The pop-country superstar left the lingerie to the professionals, but she showed up at the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show showing off her own assets in a tight, floral-beaded minidress by Zuhair Murad.

She went on to perform in a teeny Union Jack dress with a flowing train in honor of one of the night's many themes, British Invasion, and also goof around on the runway with the models in a similarly short silver frock.

Swift sang "I Knew You Were Trouble" as fake snow fell from the rafters at the Lexington Avenue Armory, where the famed Victoria's Secret Angels paraded down the runway for the 18th time in various states of dressed-up undress.

The featured models this year included Karlie KlossDoutzen KroesAlessandra Ambrosio, Adriana LimaJoan SmallsLily AldridgeCandice Swanepoel and Cara Delevingne. (Former Angel Miranda Kerr tweeted her well-wishes the other day from Japan.)

Let's just say, the feathers were flying and the tulle was trailing and, every once in a while, a prop showed up like sexy footballer Delevingne's soccer ball. Nicholas Kirkwood and Sophia Webster provided the ubiquitous stiletto footwear.

Swanepoel was the Angel chosen to rock the "Crown Jewels," aka the $10 million bra studded with diamonds, rubies and sapphires.

In addition to British Invasion, the themes of this year's ensembles included Snow Angels, Shipwrecked (as evidenced by some tattered wings), Parisian Nights, Pink Network and Birds of Paradise.

As the Snow Queen Angel, Lindsay Ellingson sported the first-ever pair of wings to hatch from a 3-D printer, a stunning, sparkling collaboration between Victoria's Secret and Swarovski.

The lucky gents of Fall Out Boy also performed at the show, which airs as a one-hour special Dec. 10 on CBS.
