Taylor Swift kept it classy in her American Music Awards speech — but aimed a sly dig at her biggest enemy during her performance.

Taylor Swift has given a powerful performance at the American Music Awards where she was honoured with Artist of the Decade, amid her messy feud with Scooter Braun.

The 29-year-old pop star opened her career-spanning medley pointedly, performing the chorus of new album track The Man, a song about her frustration with sexist double standards.

She was dressed in what looked almost like a straitjacket, emblazoned with the titles of her previous albums she no longer owns, as she sang:

“I’m so sick of running as fast as I can / Wondering if I’d get there quicker if I was a man

And I’m so sick of them coming at me again / ‘Cause if I was a man then I’d be the man”
