Taylor Swift arrives for the 2023 VMAs in a plunging black dress with a high slit
Taylor Swift made a royal entrance to the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards in New Jersey! The “Fearless” hitmaker, 33, arrived on the red carpet wearing an eye-catching black dress with an asymmetrical plunging neckline, gold detailing and a thigh-high slit. She finished the look with chic layered necklaces and a pair of black strappy stilettos.
Taylor's appearance at the big show comes in the middle of her blockbuster Eras World tour, and 14 years after she was infamously interrupted by rapper Kanye West for winning the Female Video of the Year award at the 2009 VMAs. Beyonce, Ye's pick for the honor. Queen Bey won Video of the Year later that evening, bringing Taylor on stage to reclaim her moment after the incident.

However, in a 2014 interview, the pop phenomenon admitted that she didn't actually dress for her fans — she dressed for her friends. "When I dress, it's always based on what my friends will think," she said at the time, according to "They are my number one priority, and girls' opinions are most important to me at that moment in my life.”
Unsurprisingly, she stays true to reality when it comes to comfort and avoiding over-the-top fashions. "I think that while you have to be creative and experiment, there are certain things that I know are fads, and so I try to avoid most of the obvious ones," she explained. “I play the tape of my life and I don't wear things that my kids or grandkids will make fun of me for wearing, [like] 'Wow, cool, mom, cool cowboy boots that you wore it constantly in 2006!' '"
Most importantly, the blonde beauty finds it very important to feel natural and comfortable in any look: on stage, on the red carpet or while going out with friends. “For me, it’s important to be comfortable in what I wear,” she revealed. “Being comfortable means no one will be able to take a quick photo and take a photo of me that they think is embarrassing. I don’t want to wear something so short that I’m afraid there’s going to be a wardrobe malfunction.”
