Taylor Swift stole the spotlight at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, but not just because of her record-breaking wins. The pop star turned heads when she stepped onto the red carpet in a dazzling silver dress.

As Swift graciously accepted her many awards throughout the night, her dress became a trending topic on platforms like X and Instagram. The dress featured an unusual, space-inspired detail— a spaceship design prominently displayed on the front.

One X fan raved“The silver spaceship dress was such a showstopper! Taylor never fails to surprise and delight with her fashion choices.” Others, however, were left scratching their heads, with one user asking“What’s on Taylor Swift’s dress?”

The pop sensation took home seven awards, including Video of the Year for her hit song “Fortnight,” a collaboration with Post Malone under their joint project, Tortured Poets Department.

She also thanked MTV for the opportunity to acknowledge her fans’ dedication, a nod to the audience who voted her to victory. Swift took a moment to gush over her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, who had been her biggest cheerleader throughout the music video’s production.

“Something that I’ll always remember is that when I would finish a take and I’d say ‘cut,’ I would always hear someone cheering from across the studio,” she shared warmly. “That one person was my boyfriend, Travis. Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic.”

With this latest win, Swift entered the evening on the cusp of an even greater accomplishment. She matched Beyoncé as the most-awarded VMA winner in history. By the end of the night, Swift surpassed Beyoncé’s count as a solo artist, securing 25 wins compared to Beyoncé’s 23 solo trophies.

Though Beyoncé still holds the overall record — with her combined work as a solo artist and with Destiny’s Child — Swift’s remarkable night officially placed her in a league of her own in terms of solo career achievements.

This is not the first time Swift’s dress choice has made waves on social media. Earlier this year, the superstar musician experienced a slight wardrobe malfunction while performing for her fans on stage.

The shocking moment happened when the blonde performer was just about to sit down at her piano and serenade the vast crowd. Handling the situation as best as she could, the “Shake It Off” artist quickly re-fastened her ensemble and sat down to give a sweet and exclusive rendition of her song “How Did It End?”

Despite Swift’s beautiful performance, which was met with nothing but ear-piercing screams of cheer and singalongs, many people who saw the video shared on TikTok by a concertgoer expressed disdain for the dress mishap.

“Her shorts look like a diaper. So unflattering,” commented a social media user. Similarly, another person wrote“Those look like granny panties…..look good on her .”

An eagle-eyed Instagrammer who speculated that Swift was trying to let on that she is expecting pondered“Hmm.. looking kind of round on the lower abdomen. Is she trying to tell us something?”

The wave of criticism continued with other people asserting that Swift may have purposefully allowed her dress to come undone. “It looks intentional,” said a Facebooker. Another added“Well she is used to taking her clothes off soo.” Joining the vitriol bandwagon, someone else criticized“She’s a hot mess [and] has been!”

Though the singer received a lot of flak for what happened, her beloved Swifties came to her rescue. “It happens! She handled it with grace ♥️  ,” commended a fan. Another admirer praised“whatever she was wearing under it was nice too.”

For someone who—as PR and brand expert Andy Barr puts it—”is playing a savvy game when it comes to dressing like an everyday person,” Swift’s style is often spotlighted in the media. According to fashion expert Clemmie Fieldsend, “Taylor never really dresses to the occasion,” despite her over a billion-dollar empire.

However, preferring a more demure and laid-back style does not mean that the “Love Story” talent is afraid to step out of her comfort zone from time to time. She is well-versed in leaving people guessing, whether that’s done through her music or choice of clothing.

A popular fashion outlet that did a profile on her style earlier this year spoke about how Taylor Swift often uses what she wears to indicate that she has something in the works.

In this way, she sometimes uses clothes to represent what is taking place in her life, like when she proudly wears her footballer beau’s team sweater while supporting him at his games.

When Swift is not busy being the supportive girlfriend at Travis Kelce‘s matches, both she and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end spend their time doing other adorable couple activities like going away on vacation together. The duo was spotted in the Bahamas in March, where Swift sparked public speculation that she may have a little bun in the oven.

Pregnancy rumors didn’t come out of nowhere. They started when eagle-eyed social media users saw vacay snaps of the couple where Swift wore a yellow bikini, leaving her abdomen on full display. Fans started putting pieces together like they were solving a mystery.

One comment was from someone claiming to be an obstetrician, saying“Her proportions would suggest she’s pregnant. And just like that, the internet was abuzz with theories and guesses.

Public reaction was significantly varied. On one hand, you had folks expressing things like, “She looks pregnant and sloppy.” Then there were others defending Swift’s appearance. They praised her for rocking “a normal regular body” and complimented her decision to wear a bikini with musings like, “waw first time i sa[w] her in bikini .”

Adding to the mix, Kelce had previously dropped some hints on his podcast, “New Heights.” He hinted about loving the idea of having a baby, which, concerning the timeframe of the rumors and when he said what he did, just threw more fuel on the speculation fire.

Despite all the buzz, however, Swift and Kelce haven’t divulged much about what’s happening. They have neither confirmed nor denied the baby rumors. Instead, they keep everyone guessing with every picture or appearance.

This whole ordeal about whether they’re expecting or not has just added to the crazy amount of attention the couple has gotten since they started dating, making everyone even more curious about their relationship.

Meanwhile, for the duo, it’s just another instance of dealing with rumors and the spotlight, which shows how blurry the line can get between their private life and what we all see.
