There's only one thing you can do in your first red carpet appearance after a public split with the world's most popular pop star - and that's hit it out of the ball park.
Full marks go to Taylor Swift, then, because she blew everybody else out of the style water with her simple and sophisticated but super-sexy white gown from Ralph Lauren (yes, this is what I could have looked like if we'd walked up the aisle, Harry).
Her bridal-worthy gown was enhanced by stunning turquoise drop earrings, and paired with a pretty twist updo and smoky russet eyeshadow.
The singer picked up the award for Favourite Country Artist, topping off the in-your-face-Harry theme.
However, there was a slightly awkward moment when she was played off stage to One Direction's Live While We're Young... Someone's head will roll for that one.
