"By coming to this show tonight, you are attending 100 percent of this year's tour dates," she told the star-studded audience.

Tay Tay's performance for the annual pre-Super Bowl party was strictly about the music, with little of the costume changes or special guest appearances that she's known for.

The 27-year-old popstar, dressed in a sequined and tasseled short black Versace dress, grabbed her guitar and sat at the piano for energetic performances of old and new songs, including her Fifty Shades
