Taylor Swift was in Los Angeles on Friday night (Dec 5) for the Jingle Ball 2014 concert at the Staples Center. The 24-year-old entertainer opened up the show and her set included "We Are Never Getting Back Together," "Blank Space," "I Knew You Were Trouble," "Love Story," and "Shake It Off." Above you can check out her performance of "Blank Space". 

Taylor apparently wasn't feeling too good before her performance. "I'm about to go onstage at @1027KIISFM #KIISJingleBall in LA. Fun fact: I have a wicked case of laryngitis. This should be interesting!" She tweeted before the show.

Swift keeps breaking new ground with her new album 1989. She has become the first female artist in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart to replace herself at the No. 1 spot. 

Swift's new single "Blank Spaces" rose from No. 13 to No. 1 to replace her initial smash single "Shake It Off". She becomes the first woman in the Hot 100′s 56-year history to do this and the 10th act to do so overall, following the Beatles, who scored three toppers in a row ("I Want to Hold Your Hand," "She Loves You" and "Can't Buy Me Love") in 1964; Boyz II Men (1994); Puff Daddy (as he was then billed) (1997); Ja Rule (2002); Nelly (2002); OutKast (2004); Usher (2004); T.I. (2008); and the Black Eyed Peas (2009). (Puff Daddy and Ja Rule each doubled up thanks to a lead and featured role.) 

With "Shake It Off" and "Black Space," Swift is the only artist with two Hot 100 No. 1s this year. It is also a rare honor for the first two singles of an album to top the Hot 100.

Taylor Swift's 1989 album was No. 1 for a third straight week on the Billboard 200 chart. This is only the second album to spend three weeks on top of the list, the other being the Frozen soundtrack, which was on top for 13 nonconsecutive weeks. 

Amazingly, with all of her success, "Black Space" only gives her three No. 1 songs with "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" off of her previous RED album being her first. Most would have assumed that she had a No. 1 song before her RED album.
