She took to the stage to perform a teeny grey crop top with a thigh-skimming tartan miniskirt with white over the knee socks.

She put her toned midriff on full display as she paraded around on stage. Her skirt was so short, the star could have easily suffered a wardrobe malfunction while dancing.
The singer covered her legs in white over-the-knee socks.
Unlike Britney in her Baby One More Time video, the Problem singer decided not to opt for bunches and instead tied half of her hair up in a high pony while wearing the rest of her thick locks down past her shoulders.

‘Little Ariana comes over, I feel like ‘bing’, elbow in my side, I’m like, “What’s going on?” and they push me to the other side.
‘I just felt like it’s one thing if it’s Mariah. But when you’re new on the block, when you’re trying to earn your stripes, you’re young, you just gotta do what you gotta do, try to get a great reputation, try to go overboard to please people.’
