Taylor Swift has officially landed on the VMAs black carpet, and yes, we’ve got the jaw-dropping pics of her outfit that will make you question your entire wardrobe.
The 34-year-old pop sensation rolled up to the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards looking like she just raided a chic beekeeper’s closet. That’s right—Taylor rocked a yellow and black plaid dress that had us all buzzing like confused honeybees. The plaid pattern? Strong enough to inspire a whole new line of picnic blankets. Location? The UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, which is basically the VIP lounge for planet Earth.
But wait—there’s more. Swift didn’t stop at the dress. No, no. She completed the ensemble with thigh-high boots (because why settle for anything less?), black gloves on both arms (for anyone wondering if asymmetry is still in—nope, full glove commitment is where it’s at), and the pièce de résistance: a matching plaid choker. That’s right, Taylor said, “Let me just tie this whole thing together by accessorizing like a stylish detective from the future.” Who’s solving mysteries in fashion? Taylor Swift is.
Now, if you’re still picking your jaw off the floor, let’s remind you that Taylor isn’t just there to dazzle with her sartorial choices. She’s basically collecting nominations like they’re rare Pokémon cards. With 12 nominations, she’s poised to own the night. Nine of those shiny noms are for her smash hit video Fortnight—which, no, is not the video game, but it does make you wish she’d drop a Swift-themed battle royale.
Our girl is up for the big ones too—Video of the Year, Song of the Year, and Artist of the Year, because who else would it be? Taylor is essentially running the VMAs like it’s a one-woman show, and we’re all just grateful to be witnessing history.
In case you forgot, the VMAs are airing TONIGHT at 8/7c on MTV with Megan Thee Stallion hosting (expect things to get extra spicy). Don’t forget to tune in for the full lineup of performers and surprise celeb appearances. And let’s be real, you have to see if Taylor walks home with a truckload of Moonpersons.
FYI: Taylor is wearing Dior, but we’re pretty sure she could’ve worn a bed sheet and still slayed.
