Taylor Swift gave a live performance at the sixth annual Academy Museum Gala held in Los Angeles, where she sang several of her biggest hits including 'The Fate of Ophelia,' 'Love Story,' 'Blank Space,' and her original song for 'Toy Story 5,' 'I Knew It, I Knew You,' according to Page Six.

The event took place at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures and featured a star-studded crowd including honorees filmmaker John Carpenter, actor Colman Domingo, and actress Charlize Theron, as reported by Page Six and Harper's Bazaar.

Swift arrived on the red carpet wearing a strapless pale blue Dior gown designed by Jonathan Anderson. The gown featured pleated silk and a beaded bow, which Harper's Bazaar noted appeared to reference her recent wedding dress.

The Academy Museum Gala honors contributions to film history and this year also recognized Carpenter, Domingo, and Theron with awards. The museum's director Amy Homma praised Swift as an 'extraordinary talent' whose work resonates globally, according to Page Six and Harper's Bazaar.

This performance marked one of Swift's major public appearances following her record-breaking wins at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards held in Los Angeles in September, where she became the most-awarded artist in the show's history, Page Six reported.
