Despite walking the red carpet solo, the pair didn’t hold back on fanning the romance flames when showtime came around.

Camila ensured all eyes were on her as she slipped into a figure-hugging red gown, complete with tassels throughout.

Upping the style ante, the media personality teamed her head-turning ensemble with fishnet tights and a pair of suede thigh-high boots.

Later joining the singer was Treat You Better hitmaker, who displayed his musical talent as he sang while strumming his guitar simultaneously.

The couple – who first went public with their romance in July – were tactile throughout their passionate set as they stroked and warmly embraced each other.

Raising the roof, the pair maintained their sultry appearance as they held hands, before surprisingly opting not to finish their performance with a kiss. The duo had pulled the same stunt when they performed Senorita at the MTV Video Music Awards in August.

During their rendition of Senorita, the camera panned to Taylor Swift in the audience. She was seen watching with her mouth open and looking quite emotional as Camila and Shawn almost embraced.

Camila and Shawn first worked together on the song I Know What You Did Last Summer back in 2015 and while they enjoyed their collaboration, the former Fifth Harmony member has said the time hadn’t been right for a romance.

‘Definitely there were feelings, but I think we were just too young to know what to do with them,’ she told The Sun in October.

More recently, in an interview with Rolling Stone, Camila explained: ‘I don’t think we knew what to do with those feelings. It was this awkward thing where we both liked each other, but we weren’t together. It was just weird.’

She added: ‘An energy was there from the beginning, but after that song, we didn’t spend as much time together. Our paths just didn’t cross in that way romantically until we started hanging out again and writing.’
