Taylor Swift Arrives at the 2024 VMAs With Big Reputation Energy

Taylor Swift is poised to have a huge night at the 2024 VMAs. 

She leads the competition with 10 nominations and if she wins 7 of them or more, she’ll take a very important title away from Beyoncé.

With an electric lineup of performers in place, many of which are pals of Taylor, it seems very likely that she’ll show up this year. 

What’s more, fans should allow room for high expectations as Taylor could also make a huge announcement at the show!

Taylor Swift Arrives At the 2024 VMAs

There she is! In all her glory, fall colors on, covered … in leather? Nothing has ever felt more like a Red/Reputation crossover!

She was of course the last to hit the carpet, but she made it inside just in time to dance to Eminem’s opening performance.

Now, no one confirmed she would be there tonight. But in all honesty, they didn’t need to. There was zero chance of Taylor missing the big night.

Taylor wrapped up the international leg of her Eras Tour in August, and the last of her North America dates don’t kick off until October. 

With the tour on pause, it gives Taylor an entire month to relax, as well as have a free evening to enjoy being celebrated for her incredible visual work this year. 

It will also be a night where she can catch up with some friends! On the docket for performances are Sabrina Carpenter, one of Taylor’s pals and opener for the Eras tour; Halsey, is a friend AND a major Swiftie; and Lenny Kravtiz, father of Zoe Kravtiz, who is also a member of the squad. 

And lest us not forget Katy Perry, former frenemy of Taylor’s. She’s receiving the Vanguard Award and it would feel almost kismet if Swift was there to present it to her!

But there’s another reason why Taylor was bound to be at the VMAs.

Will Taylor FINALLY announce ‘Reputation TV’?

Let’s look at the facts: 

The last time Taylor Swift attended an award show, she was at the Grammys back in February. During her acceptance speech, she announced the release of The Tortured Poets Society. 

Now, remember when Taylor Swift attended the VMAs in 2022. She pulled the same stunt, announcing Midnights during one of her speeches. 

There’s a pattern happening and while inconsistent, it’s been a year since Taylor’s released a re-recording. 

Could Reputation TV finally be within reached? If she makes history, perhaps we’ll all get a reward to celebrate!
