Swift, dressed in a pink-and-black negligee, performed her single Blank Space in part of the show inspired by dreams and decorated with pearlescent balloons.

A change in ambiance arrived in the fourth section of the show, which was hosted by Grande and was dedicated to the brand's more casual Pink line aimed at students, with models dressed in leopard prints and bright colors.

Irish musician Hozier then performed his hit debut Take Me to Church as models dressed in pale green and pink with transparent fairy wings strutted in a magical setting of white trees and autumn leaves.

Swift then returned to the stage to bring the show to a close with a black-and-white themed performance as the models showcased garter belts and stockings sets.

Among the 47 "angels" chosen to represent the brand were Candice Swanepoel, Behati Prinsloo, Doutzen Kroes and Karlie Kloss－Kloss appeared wearing 18-carat gold wings.

Created in 1977 and with 1,000 stores across the US, Victoria's Secret is the market leader there and made $6.68 billion from sales last year.

Swedish model Elsa Hosk said she had prepared for the show, which has helped launch the career of several famous supermodels, with "a lot of different workouts" including a mix of ballet and boxing.

"It's one of the biggest shows that you can walk in as a model," she says.
