The Grammys just keep rolling out big-name performers. The awards show already boasts a lineup that includes Adele, Kendrick Lamar, and Alice Cooper, among others, and now Taylor Swift is joining the all-star roster as well.

The event was already going to be a big night for the country-songstress-turned-pop-star, whether or not she performed. Swift received seven Grammy nominations, one of which is in the coveted Album of the Year category, and she’s tied with the Weeknd for the second-most nods. (Lamar leads the pack with 11 nominations.) Odds seem good that she’ll win at least one, so seeing her on stage too will be the cherry on top for fans.

Swift is no stranger to the Grammy stage, so clearly the Recording Academy likes having her on the lineup. She has performed at the vaunted awards show multiple times over the years, both singing solo and collaborating with artists like Miley Cyrus and Stevie Nicks. However, her most recent album, 1989, was her first to officially be in the pop genre (no matter how pop-influenced its predecessors were), so this year’s performance will still be a milestone for the musician.

The night is going to be packed with live music, and the performers will come from all different genres. Those announced so far range from country’s Carrie Underwood to rapper Pitbull to DJ Diplo. Even the Broadway cast of the musical Hamilton will be on hand to perform.

The 2016 Grammy Awards will air live on both coasts on CBS at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT on February 15.

Taylor Swift's next re-recorded album will be 1989 (Taylor's Version). Swift announced the upcoming album on Wednesday night in front of a sold-out SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

"There's something I've been planning for a really, really, really, ridiculously, embarrassingly long time. And instead of telling you about it, I think I'll just sort of show you," Swift said, revealing the artwork for the 1989 (Taylor's Version) on the screen behind her. Swift then performed New Romantics, a deluxe track off 2014's 1989, as one of two surprise songs of the night.

Known as the premier populist fall film festival, the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is home to a yearly assortment of the best and biggest films of the season. Large crowd-pleasers like Netflix's Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Oscar contenders like Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans, and more arrive to premiere and build buzz leading up to their releases. However, this year, the hottest name at the festival is not one typically associated with the filmmaking scene.

Bringing along her musical short film All Too Well, Taylor Swift arrived at the festival (alongside Stranger Things star Sadie Sink) for a special 35mm screening and conversation with TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey. With Digital Trends attending the event in full, here's our complete recap of TIFF's In Conversation with Taylor Swift.
