R&B singer Leela James performed first with a bold cover of “This Is Me” from The Greatest Showman.
Country starlet Kelsea Ballerini took to the runway with The Chainsmokers to perform their crossover collab, “This Feeling.” Drew Taggart of the DJ duo joined her onstage.
Shawn Mendes sang his hit, “Lost in Japan,” wearing a suit and boots and with a guitar on his back.
Halsey stuck to the feathered VS theme (check out that wrap skirt—and her eyebrows) while performing her single “Without Me.” She even gave a special shoutout to her model buddy, Bella Hadid.
Rita Ora sang her single, “Let You Love Me,” and even escorted Behati Prinsloo down part of the the runway.
Bebe Rexha, who performed during the PINK segment of the show, dressed accordingly in a neon monochrome look.
The Struts performed “Body Talks” for the “Celestial Angel” segment of the show, which included a closing walk by Adriana Lima.
This year's performers follow a long history of big-time music stars making cameos on the Victoria's Secret runway. The acts at last year's show in Shanghai were Harry Styles, Miguel, Hamilton star Leslie Odom Jr., and Chinese pop star Jane Zhang.
The year prior, the lineup consisted of Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, and The Weeknd (who had an awkward run-in with former ex and now-reunited-girlfriend, Bella Hadid).

After hosting extravagant fashion shows around the world for the past few years—in cities like London, Paris, and Shanghai—the event returns to NYC, where it first began in 1995. The collection will also feature a collaboration with print-loving U.K. designer, Mary Katrantzou, which means we could be seeing some bold lingerie on the catwalk.
Expect to see the Angels on the runway, including Adriana Lima (who just announced that this show will be her last), Elsa Hosk, and Sara Sampaio, plus dozens more models, like Shanina Shaik, Georgia Fowler, Cindy Bruna, and Gigi and Bella Hadid. First-timers include Winnie Harlow, Dukie Thot, and Lorena Rae. Whether it's with musicians or models, the VSFS roster is pretty stacked.
