The pop stars showcased their toned stomachs for the occasion, with Taylor sporting a red bandeau top with a hot pink skirt, which was slit open to reveal her matching underwear.
The 26-year-old, who revealed that her outfit was by Atelier Versace, was also showing off a new shorter hairdo, complete with blunt fringe. Meanwhile Selena went for a more glitzy look in a blue Calvin Klein gown that was covered in sequins, and featured daring cut-outs on the side, while also allowing her to flash plenty of cleavage thanks to a low-cut neckline.Selena, whose hair was styled in soft curls, picked nude lipstick and dramatic smoky eye make-up, while Taylor kept her eye make-up toned down but wore her signature red lipstick.Trying something new: While Taylor revealed a new shorter hairdo, complete with fringe, Selena showed her sexy sideTrying something new: While Taylor revealed a new shorter hairdo, complete with fringe, Selena showed her sexy sideInseparable: Selena, who wore a glitzy blue gown by Calvin Klein, joked that Taylor was her date for the eveningAlready winners: The pop star pals were informed earlier in the evening that Taylor's hit Bad Blood had won Best Music Video

The evening also had a somber moment as the life of the late David Bowie was celebrated with a special tribute performance by Lady Gaga. The performance had been touted by organizers as an 'experiential tribute' to the late British singer.
The Recording Academy said Gaga would perform three or four of Bowie's songs in a 'multisensory testament' to Bowie's creativity as a musician whose work constantly evolved over five decades.

Bowie's unexpected death at age 69 in January after a secret cancer diagnosis shocked fans around the world and came just two days after the release of a critically-acclaimed new album Blackstar.
Gaga, a six-time Grammy winner, is also known for reinventing herself many times since she rose to fame in 2008. She had already been booked to perform at the Grammy Awards.
'But when David passed - almost in a single moment - we knew we had to change direction,' Grammy ceremony executive producer Ken Ehrlich said in a statement.
