Taylor Swift shows off her toned legs in tiny shorts as she enjoys a rare day off from touring

She’s been working hard performing to thousands of fans on her Red tour and Taylor Swift showed off the results of her energetic live routine on a rare day off on Tuesday.

The singer slipped into a pair of tiny shorts as she hit the shops in Los Angeles for a spot of retail therapy.

Dancing and running around stages across the country has obviously paid off as the star showed off her toned legs in the California sunshine.

Taylor has had a busy couple of weeks as she continues to jet round the States for her Red tour, which has so far seen the I Knew You Were Trouble star perform over 50 dates for her adoring fans.

The star hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons last month though when she was caught mouthing an insult at the MTV Video Music Awards whilst her ex boyfriend Harry Styles took to the stage.

Taylor was caught on camera saying ‘shut the f***’ as she sat next to her best pal Selena Gomez as Harry and One Direction were on stage presenting an award.

Taylor’s friend, and Red touring partner, Ed Sheeran has come out to defend the singer though, insisting the jibe wasn’t aimed at Harry.

According to Cosmopolitan magazine, at a recent press conference Ed insisted Taylor was directing the remark at Selena after she expressed doubt at her ability to pick up a prize at the ceremony.

He said: ‘Selena said, “I think Miley’s gonna win [over me]”. And Taylor was like, “Shut the f*** up!” That’s all that was!’

And the 23-year-old star apparently knew her comments would be misinterpreted to be directed at Harry.

Ed added: ‘Taylor was like, “I think I messed up.”‘
