Taylor Swift Has Saved the VMAs (The Cut)

Taylor Swift saved the MTV Video Music Awards in her bedazzled dress, accepting an award for “All Too Well” and giving an uninterrupted, Kanye-free speech.

From her rhinestone-adorned eye makeup, to her iconic red lip, even down to her silver, strappy shoes, she was a sight for very sore eyes. We have no choice but to thank her for both her emotional service in general, as well as her fashion service on this God forsaken night. I might venture to say she was the best dressed star on this carpet, which given the material we were served in this New Jersey venue, might not be saying much.

She added that she believes it's the right time in her career for her to do this: “I think I’m right to do it right now,” she said.

And maybe I tried too hard to give it those things in such a controlled environment.” The singer opted not to attend the Newark, New Jersey show despite being up for the Song of the Year (“Easy on Me”) and Best Art Direction (“Oh My God”) awards.

All the 2022 VMAs Performances, Ranked (Billboard)

After hitting Brooklyn's Barclays center in 2021, the MTV Video Music Awards returned to the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. on Sunday (Aug. 28).

Anyone who’s forgotten why Nicki Minaj is a legend got a not-so-gentle reminder during the 2022 VMAs broadcast, as the Queen Barb absolutely dominated the Prudential Center with a career-spanning medley that covered everything from her song-stealing verse on Kanye West’s “Monster” to her Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded gem “Beez in the Trap” to her Hot 100 top 5 hit “Super Bass,” the lattermost of which had Taylor Swift rapping along ferociously to every word from the audience. When he took to the wider stage, he surprised and delighted the crowd by bringing out Fergie for a mashup of “First Class” and her The Dutchess single “Glamorous,” the 2007 Hot 100 topper his hit song samples. Jack Harlow opened up the VMAs with class – “First Class,” that is, performing his Billboard Hot 100 No. Shortly after winning the VMA for artist of the year, Bad Bunny – who was on the east coast but not at the VMAs – took over the VMAs broadcast one state over in New York’s Yankee Stadium. Brendon Urie, however, is a vocal dynamo, and he sold the hell out of their recent single “Don’t Let the Light Go Out,” particularly during the final minute; even so, the nostalgic rock anthem was a touch sleepy for a performance that arrived three hours into the awards show. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Super Freaky Girl,” was named the 2022 VMAs Video Vanguard Award winner, putting her into a rarified category that includes Michael Jackson, Madonna, Missy Elliott and other pop culture royalty.
