Every Look Taylor Swift Wore to the MTV VMAs: 2008-2024 in Photos
This is not a drill: we now see Taylor Swift come back to the MTV Video Music Awards (better known as the MTA VMAs). Swift is on the 2024 VMAs red carpet, in something gorgeous that perfectly reflects which fashion era she’s in.
For the 2024 VMAs, Swift has been nominated for 12 awards alone. She’s been going to the VMAs since 2008, and since then, she’s been nominated 60 times and has won 23 VMAs. (How big must her awards shelf be?!)
While she started with more girly, frilly ensembles, she’s really opted for edgier looks in the 2020s. In 2022, she turned heads in a draped jewel dress from Oscar de la Renta and then donned a sexy black custom Versace gown in 2023. So, 2024, she brought the edge again.
However, per Page Six, don’t expect to see her lover, Travis Kelce, on the red carpet with her. Cue the violins, but we’re super excited to see her newest look, still!
Ahead of the VMAs tonight, see every look Swift has worn on the VMA red carpet below.
