Taylor Swift caught everyone’s attention tonight with a surprise appearance at the 2022 MTV VMAs.
Taylor Swift made a glamorous comeback to the MTV VMAs on Sunday night (her first appearance since 2019!), where she was nominated for five awards, including Video of the Year for “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version).” She truly shined like a sparkling mirrorball on stage.
The performer resembled a stunning disco ball as she confidently walked down the red carpet in a glamorous Oscar de la Renta gown adorned with sparkling Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. It was a classic red carpet look that showcased her unique style and beauty.

When Swift won her first award of the evening, she proudly took home the prize for best long form video for “All Too Well: The Short Film”. It was her very own moon person trophy for the night.

As Swift made her way to the stage, she was accompanied by cinematographer Rina Yang, producer Saul Germaine, and actor Dylan O’Brien, with whom she collaborated on “All Too Well: The Short Film.” She also made sure to express her gratitude to actress Sadie Sink, who starred in the short film alongside O’Brien, during her speech. A Heartwarming Gathering
Swift had a sweet moment with the 2022 Video Vanguard Award winner Nicki Minaj as the rapper presented the singer with the video of the year award. A New Chapter in Music History
While accepting her award for music video of the year, Swift surprised everyone by announcing that she will be releasing a new album in October. “I had already made up my mind that if you were going to be this generous and give us this, I thought it might be a fun moment to tell you that my brand-new album comes out October 21st,” she shared with fans on stage. Achieving historic wins
Following the show, Swift changed into a stunning Moschino dress as she posed with her three awards from the night: best video, best direction, and best long form video. With these wins, Swift became the fourth most decorated ever in the history of the show. She also became the first artist to win video of the year three times, previously winning for “Bad Blood” (featuring Kendrick Lamar, 2015) and “You Need to Calm Down” (2019). The “Blank Space” singer, who is nominated for five awards tonight, looked like a vision in a shimmering silver minidress, matching chandelier crystal Christian Louboutin strappy heels, and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. The dazzling, flapper-inspired Oscar de la Renta dress appeared to be made up of layers of shimmering silver chains, encrusted with clear jewels and pearls. The chains in the bust and skirt area were layered over a nude fabric, while the middle part of the dress exposed Swift’s bare torso.
The outfit was sleeveless and had a halter neckline with no back. Long strings of jewels cascaded down the multi-talented individual’s bare back as she made her way down the red carpet at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
Her earrings were spiky, pear-shaped diamonds that perfectly complemented her glamorous, timeless beauty look. Swift’s hair was swept up in a stylish bun with bangs parted down the middle. She rocked a delicate silver cat eye and red lip for makeup. Her longtime beau, Joe Alwyn, was notably absent from her side on the red carpet. Swift is up for multiple nominations at the awards show, including Best Video, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Direction, and Best Long Form Video, all for her captivating “All Too Well” short film.
Over the last few years, Swift has taken a step back from the spotlight and has become more private about her life. Her presence at the MTV Video Music Awards tonight signifies her first award show attendance since the 2021 Grammys. Her last appearance at the VMAs was in 2019, when she famously kicked off the award show with a vibrant performance of her hit song “You Need to Calm Down.”
