The six runway segments, Ballet, Super Angels, Passion, Angels Aquatic, I Put a Spell On You, and Club Pink featured a record number of models and looks in the show. The annual Victoria's Secret special costs $12 million to produce and is seen in over 180 countries.
Kayne West performed his hit "Stronger". He was supposed to sing the song in the 2007 Victoria's Secret Show, but had to drop out due to the death of his mother. He was then joined on stage by surprise guest Jay-Z for their song "Niggas in Paris". In a later segment Maroon 5 played their current hit "Moves Like Jagger". (You can watch the Victoria's Secret models lip sync that song in this Victoria's Secret YouTube video.) Speaking of Maroon 5 and Victoria's Secret models, lead singer Adam Levine serenaded model (and girlfriend) Anne Vyalitsina during her appearance in the show. Last to perform was Nicki Minaj with her single "Super Bass" during the show's final "Pink" segment.

On the January 11th episode of The Colbert Report on Comedy Central, host Stephen Colbert discussed his ballot voting choices for the Grammy Awards.
Colbert had trouble deciding who should win the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Album, so he invited nominees The Black Keys and Vampire Weekend to compete in a "Sell Out Off" to see which band got their music in the most TV commercials. Their ad battle featured spots from Zales, Honda, Tommy Hilfiger, Victoria's Secret, HP, and Sony Ericsson.
Colbert summed up their competition best: "Clearly you have equally whored out your music."
For the 2010 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on CBS, the annual runway event returned to the Lexington Avenue Armory in New York City. The stage was given a burlesque club theme, with the broadcast dubbed "A Night of a Thousand Fantasies", featuring six runway segments: Tough Love, Country Girls, Game On, Heavenly Bodies, Wild Things, and Pink.
Noticeably absent was longtime host Heidi Klum, who recently turned in her wings and ended her affiliation with Victoria's Secret. Model Adriana Lima returned to the runway (after giving birth to her first child last year) to model the $2 million fantasy diamond bra designed by Italian jeweler Damiani.
In addition to the live performances, longtime Victoria's Secret Fashion Show music director "DJ" Jeremy Healy returned to offer his usual pop song mashups along with an unexpected detour into country music for one runway walk segment. The most intricate remix combined Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" with LL Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out" with a bit of Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" thrown in for good measure. The best mashup came during the show's finale, which featured a track mixing the classic "Call Me" by Blondie with "Uprising" by Muse.
