Everything Taylor Swift has worn at the MTV VMAs, ranked from least to most iconic

• Taylor Swift is a staple of the MTV Video Music Awards. Remember her 2009 appearance?
• She’s worn some of her most iconic looks at the event, like a crystal-encrusted minidress in 2022.
• Swift has also worn some VMAs outfit duds — like the suit she chose in 2012.

You might have chosen to forget the dramatic ensemble Swift wore at the 2024 event.

Swift wore a shiny ensemble to perform “Lover” and “You Need to Calm Down” at the awards show in 2019.

Whether you love it or hate it, Swift’s long-sleeved romper in 2014 stands out among her VMAs fashion.

But the denim minidress she wore at the end of the awards show was even more fun.

The outfit was playful, fashionable, and a perfect merge of her style from various eras. 

Swift’s colorful blazer in 2019 might not have been everyone’s cup of tea, but it was still iconic.

Versace designed the printed, multicolored blazer that Swift wore over a pink top at the 2019 VMAs. 

The bold outfit was both a departure from Swift’s usual style and a nod to the bright aesthetic of “Lover,” which had been released days before the show.

Swift had a lot of fun with her VMAs fashion in 2022.

After winning three awards and announcing her album “Midnights” at the VMAs that year, Swift stopped by the red carpet in a silk Moschino romper that was, of course, midnight blue.

She also donned sparkling platform sandals and a fuzzy white coat, creating an outfit that fans, including Flavor Flav, recreated for the Eras Tour.

She was also truly bejeweled when she first arrived on the red carpet.

The Oscar de la Renta minidress Swift sported in 2022 remains one of the most stunning outfits she’s worn to date.

With a halter neckline and sheer panels from top to bottom, the dress was crafted with strings of diamonds that wrapped around her body, creating the illusion that she was wearing nothing but jewels.

Swift’s most iconic VMAs outfit, however, was a different sparkling number.

Before the incident between Swift and West at the 2009 VMAs, she arrived on the red carpet in a sparkling Kaufmanfranco gown.

The single-shoulder garment had a shapeless design and a floor-length skirt, and its beaded fabric was extremely glamorous.
