Lighting effects created the illusion that the exterior of Taylor's cabin was being overtaken by a hypnotic swarm of fireflies, while pixie dust - featured in the song's music video - hovered over areas of the grass.
Swift uttered the poetic lyrics to Cardigan into the microphone, while rocking a vibrant pink lip shade and a generous amount of glitter on her eyelids.
The Grammy Award-winning artist wore her dirty blonde hair in a romantic braided bun and her bangs were slightly bumped under to frame her heart-shaped face.
As the camera zoomed out, audiences at home got a full glimpse of Taylor's breathtaking stage costume, which was a floor-length chiffon dress with glistening gold accents throughout its floral pattern.

Swift rose from her original laying position and performed the remainder of Cardigan seated atop the cabin's roof, before slowly making her way down and off it.
Switching to the next hit in her medley, titled August, audiences at home were taken inside of Swift's warm and cozy abode, where she was joined on stage for the first time EVER by her Folklore and Evermore collaborators Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner.
The cabin's interior was full decorated to create a lived-in feel, with various knick knacks on shelves, gas lamps creating a warm atmosphere, and the iconic desk featured in Swift's Folklore music video.

Taylor performed August with an acoustic guitar in hand, while her collaborators strummed on guitars of their own.
The camera zoomed out several times to show the trio performing from within the confines of their fully-functioning cabin as the exterior remained active with buzzing fireflies and a moody sky.

For the final song of her infectious medley, Taylor belted out the lyrics to the lead single off Evermore, titled Willow, which was released in December.
The trio ventured outside of the moss-covered cabin and onto the grass that dominated the massive stage.
The Mean singer, clearly having a blast, grabbed onto her dress and twirled numerous times as pixie dust rose from the ground into the air and the sky-scape opened up to reveal the sun.
When Taylor was not on stage delivering a memorable performance for her devout fanbase, she was seated outside in the audience as the socially-distanced ceremony went underway at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
