has a habit of falling off the face of the Earth for months then showing up out of the blue and doing everything at once – but we love her for it.
The pop queen dazzled on the red carpet at the 2022 MTV , where in a bejewelled Oscar De La Renta dress.
Following an extremely successful night, the Shake It Off hitmaker let her hair down at an after-party, but not before changing into a second stunning outfit.
Pictured arriving at the bash in New York City, all eyes were on the blonde beauty as she donned a royal blue satin playsuit with sequin starry detail.
She accentuated her height further with a matching pair of silver skyscraper heels and wore an oversized fur coat off her shoulders.
Of course, Taylor’s make-up consisted of her signature red lip, plus a fun eye look with jewels through her crease.
As for her long locks, they cascaded down her shoulders in subtle waves – she really was the woman of the hour.
Taylor had plenty of reasons to celebrate following a joyous night out at the VMAs, where she took home three awards for All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version).
The music video was directed by the singer herself, making it all the more special for the project to be recognised for best direction, as well as the coveted best video, and best longform video.
‘For the first time in VMA history, four of the directors in the video of the year category are women’, Taylor said on the microphone.
‘You guys, I’m just so proud of what we made and with every second of this moment and we wouldn’t have been able to make this short film if it wasn’t for the fans.’
That wasn’t all, as Taylor dropped a bombshell on her fans mid-acceptance speech, revealing that her 10th studio album is called Midnights and will drop on October 21.
She continued: ‘Because you’ve been so generous I thought it might be a fun moment to tell you that my brand new album comes out on October 21’, earning thousands of piercing screams from shocked fans.
Then, at midnight, the former country star divulged further details about the highly-anticipated TS10, which she describes as ‘the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life’.
Taylor wasn’t alone at the event, of course, as she sat in the audience with Dylan O’Brien, who stars in the All Too Well music video and joined her on stage to accept the moonperson.
Cameras panned to the friends at numerous points in the show, showing Taylor singing along to Lizzo’s performance and getting everyone up on their feet to applaud Nicki Minaj.
Plenty of famous faces rocked up to the afterparty in NYC as well, with the likes of Sabrina Carpenter and K-pop girls Blackpink ready to party.
This year’s VMAs provided many memorable moments once again, from and performing an epic medley, to .
Other big gongs of the night were awarded to Jack Harlow and Lil Nas X for their Industry Baby collaboration, while following the global success of his third solo album, Harry’s House.
