Taylor Swift is set to have a big night at the 2024 VMAs.
She leads the competition with 10 nominations, and if she wins 7 or more of them, she will take a very important title away from Beyoncé.
With an electrifying lineup of artists, many of whom are friends of Taylor’s, it seems very likely that she will appear this year.
Additionally, fans should have high expectations as Taylor could also make a big announcement at the show!
Taylor Swift arrives at the 2024 VMAs
There she is! In all her fall-colored glory, covered in… leather? Nothing has ever looked more like a Red/Reputation crossover!
Of course, she was the last one to arrive on the carpet, but she managed to get on just in time to dance to Eminem’s opening performance.
Now, no one confirmed that she would be there tonight. But in all honesty, they didn’t need to. There was no way Taylor was going to miss the big night.
Taylor has wrapped up the international leg of her Eras tour in August, and her last dates in North America only begin in October.
With the tour on hiatus, Taylor will have a whole month to relax, plus a night off to enjoy and be honored for her incredible visual work this year.
It will also be a night where she can meet some friends! The schedule of performances includes Sabrina Carpenterone of Taylor’s friends and the opening act for the Eras tour; Halsey, who is a friend AND a huge Swiftie; and Lenny Kravtiz, father of Zoe Kravtiz, who is also a member of the group.
And let us not forget Katy PerryTaylor’s former friend-frenemy. She’s receiving the Vanguard Award and it would almost be kismet if Swift were there to present it to her!
But there’s another reason Taylor was destined to be at the VMAs.
Will Taylor FINALLY announce ‘Reputation TV’?
Let’s look at the facts:
The last time Taylor Swift attended an awards show, she was at the Grammys in February. During her acceptance speech, she announced the release of The Society of Tortured Poets.
Now, remember when Taylor Swift attended the VMAs in 2022. She did the same thing, announcing Midnights during one of her speeches.
There’s a pattern going on, and while inconsistent, it’s been a year since Taylor released a re-recording.
It could TV Reputation finally be achieved? If she makes history, maybe we’ll all get a reward to celebrate!
How many VMAs has Taylor Swift won?
Swift leads the VMA nominations with 10 — eight for her “Fortnight” music video and nominations in the artist of the year and best pop categories.
Last year, she won nine victories, bringing her total to 23 lunar person trophies.
Currently, Beyoncé is the most decorated VMA winner, with 30 trophies to her name. Now, Bey is only up for one award at the show — song of the year for “Texas Hold’em” — and she has a good chance of winning.
So Taylor may end up falling short of his goal of closing the gap, but there’s no doubt his tally will increase all the same.
Will Travis Kelce Join Her at the VMAs?
In more than a year of dating, Taylor and Travis have yet to attend a red carpet event together. Schedules are usually to blame: a world divided by ball and Aristotle.
And the same could be true again. The Chiefs have a game against the Bengals on the 15th, which means Travis will be in game mode even in the days leading up to it.
So don’t rule it out, but don’t get your hopes up either!
2024 VMAs Performers Lineup: Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, and More
As we mentioned, Halsey and Sabrina Carpenter are scheduled to perform at the show.
The latter may be grateful to have a friend like his ex. Shawn Mendes and his ex Camila Cabello are also scheduled to perform. DRAMA!
Katy Perry will take the stage to celebrate his Vanguard Award win.
Rounding out the list of artists are Halsey, Lenny Kravitz, LISA, Rauw Alejandro, Anitta, Karol G, LL COOL J, Benson Boone, GloRilla and none other than your favorite artist’s favorite artist, Chappell Roan.
