Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been making quite the splash in New York City over the past week, showcasing their stylish flair at events like the U.S. Open and New York Fashion Week. However, on Wednesday, September 11, Swift made a solo appearance at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, stepping onto the red carpet without her NFL star boyfriend.
The couple, who have been romantically linked for about a year now, have been quite busy lately—Swift is currently in the midst of her Eras Tour, while Kelce is gearing up for the 2023-2024 NFL season. Despite their packed schedules, it seems the pop sensation carved out some time to shine at the VMAs.
Swift turned heads with her punk rock ensemble, donning a striking yellow and black plaid dress that revealed chic black shorts beneath.
Her stunning red carpet arrival came just a day after she publicly endorsed U.S. presidential candidate Kamala Harris, adding an extra layer of excitement to the evening.
Swift is nominated for an impressive 12 awards, including Video of the Year and Best Collaboration for her hit with Post Malone, “Fortnight.” The anticipation among her fans is palpable, especially considering the significant announcements she has made at past VMAs.
Flashback to 2022, when Swift announced her tenth studio album, Midnights, during her acceptance speech for the Video of the Year Award for “All Too Well (10 Minute Version).” She revealed the album’s title and cover art on social media just hours later, raising speculation about what surprise she might unveil this year.
Not only has Swift been in the headlines for her bold VMAs appearance and political endorsement, but her playful moment with Kelce at the U.S. Open has also captured fans’ attention. They shared a cute jam session that garnered laughs and smiles all around. Additionally, Swift’s support of The Darkness has led to a surge in their music streams.
Interestingly, her recent actions, which evoke themes from her 2017 album Reputation, seem to indicate a mix of both positive and controversial headlines. This has sparked speculation: could a new Taylor’s Version of her iconic albums be on the horizon?
