The singer has been everywhere promoting the album, and last night she stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to perform Shake it Off and Out of the Woods. Swift sung to a screaming crowd of nearly 15,000 fans on a closed-down Hollywood Boulevard, according to Billboard. And yeah, it was pretty epic.

Swift also talked to Kimmel about the (mostly very positive) reviews  of her album, and admitted that she really cares what the critics have to say.

And in case you were wondering, Paste BN's Elysa Gardner says1989 "matches deceptively simple, irresistibly catchy melodies with lyrics that can seem by turns confessional and elusive, playful and aching."
