The wait for the musical guest announcement is over! Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande and Hozier will rock the runway alongside the Angels in London. The 2014 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show airs Tuesday, December 9, at 10/9C on CBS.
Taylor Swift
Back for an encore performance after owning the Victoria’s Secret runway last year, Taylor Swift is the only artist in history to have three million-selling weeks (2010's Speak Now, 2012's RED and 2014's 1989). Taylor is a global superstar and seven-time GRAMMY winner, and the youngest winner in history of the music industry's highest honor, the GRAMMY Award for Album of the Year.
Ed Sheeran
Blending soulful vocals with organic folk introspection and irresistible hip-hop hooks, Ed Sheeran is a genuine global phenomenon. The 23-year-old British singer/songwriter’s new album “x” (pronounced multiply) debuted at #1 in the US and 13 other countries, including his native UK, where it’s the top-selling album of the year.
Ariana Grande
Within less than a year, Ariana Grande captured #1 on the Billboard Top 200 twice—first with her debut, “Yours Truly,” and then its 2014 follow-up, “My Everything.” “Yours Truly” yielded the double-platinum smash “The Way” featuring Mac Miller, which landed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, and seized #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Songs chart. “My Everything” spawned the triple-platinum "Problem" featuring Iggy Azalea, which debuted at #1 in 85 countries, and topped the iTunes Overall Top Songs and Pop Songs charts for four weeks.
Hozier
Born on St. Patrick's Day in County Wicklow, Ireland, 24-year-old singer/songwriter Andrew Hozier-Byrne was raised on blues, soul and jazz. He taught himself guitar and piano, joined his first band at 15, and studied music at Dublin’s Trinity College. His hit, “Take Me to Church," reached #1 in Ireland (keeping U2 off the top spot for the first time in 30 years), #2 in America and #5 in the UK. It’s currently in the Top 3 on the US iTunes Singles chart, and has been a Top 10 hit in Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland, Holland and Canada, with an accompanying music video that has over 18 million views on YouTube. This will be his first appearance on the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
2014 is a year of firsts. First time the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is in London. First time there are TWO Fantasy Bras. And the first time that Brazilian Bombshells Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio will share the honor of wearing the Fantasy Bra on the runway. Here, we take you behind the scenes as they see and try on the 2014 Dream Angels Fantasy Bras (designed exclusively for Victoria’s Secret by Mouawad) for the very first time.
