Taylor Swift “Are you ready?” she said, as she arrived on the red carpet at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. The 34-year-old “Karma” hitmaker arrived on the red carpet at the UBS Arena in New York City on Wednesday, September 11, in a fierce look that contrasted with her previous sparkly sequined outfits at the VMAs.
The international pop icon’s outfit consisted of a yellow and black checked top with a matching train, black high-waisted shorts, matching leather gloves and matching thigh-high heeled boots. For makeup, she opted for smoky winged eyeshadow and wore her hair down in natural waves.
Taylor is leading the list of nominees for this year’s VMAs with a total of 12 nominations. Her appearance at this year’s ceremony comes just hours after she made headlines by endorsing the vice president. Kamala Harris With the 2024 election in full swing, the “You Need to Calm Down” hitmaker penned a lengthy statement on Instagram on Tuesday, September 10, explaining why she’s supporting the Democratic candidate over the Republican candidate. Donald Trump.
“Like many of you, I watched tonight’s debate,” Taylor wrote. “If you haven’t already, now is a great time to find out where the candidates stand on the issues at hand and the topics that matter most to you. As a voter, I make it a point to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for our country.”
Noting that she had “done her research” and “made her choice,” Taylor explained why she was voting for Kamala, 59, saying, “She’s fighting for rights and causes, and I believe we need warriors to defend those.”
“I think she’s a stable, talented leader, and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if led with calm instead of chaos,” the Grammy winner continued, referring to Kamala’s running mate. Tim Waltz“I am incredibly encouraged and inspired by the selection of @timwalz as your running mate, a decades-long advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and women’s body rights.”
Elsewhere in the post, Taylor accused Donald, 78, and his team of uploading an AI-generated image of her over the summer that made it look like she was endorsing him.
“I recently found out that an AI of ‘me’ was posted on his site falsely endorsing Donald Trump for president,” the Pennsylvania native said, adding, “It really brought out my fears about AI and the dangers of spreading misinformation.”
Taylor’s AI image “leads me to the conclusion that as voters we need to be very transparent about the actual plan for this election,” the pop star concluded in the caption, adding that “the easiest way to fight misinformation is to tell the truth.”
Responding to Taylor’s public statements, Donald said she would “pay the price” for her choices.
