Taylor Swift swapped her fun sequinned ensemble for an extremely on-brand look as she joined a slew of stars at the MTV VMAs after party in New York City on Wednesday.
After making history by earning her 30th award as one of her seven gongs during the live ceremony, the hitmaker, 34, continued her celebrations by changing into a quirky co-ord with a woodland theme.
Paying homage to her track Out Of The Woods, Taylor teamed her fun printed dress with a matching bomber jacket as she headed to the post-awards party, which was eerily similar to the bedazzled look she’d worn at the ceremony.
Fans went wild for the number as they pointed out the design had reference to her The Tortured Poets Department single Down Bad.
During the Eras Tour, the star has performed the track, which currently doesn’t have a music video, a number of times as a spaceship appears on the large screen behind her.
Joining her was Sabrina Carpenter, who after a surprise win for Song Of The Year, changed out of her white gown into a racy white lace mini dress.
The Espresso hitmaker set pulses racing in the revealing look, teamed with huge chunky platform heels, as she arrived for the party at Electric Lady Studios.
Suki Waterhouse was also among the stars in attendance, with the actress opting for a revealing black bralet and matching skirt, teamed with a huge feathered stole.
Elsewhere, Tyla showed off her daring sense of style in an incredibly revealing illusion top, teamed with daring cut-out jeans.
The hitmaker added to her 90s-inspired look with matching denim heeled boots.
Tate McRae left little to the imagination in a leggy pink fringed mini dress covered with intricate beaded detailing.
Taylor had Swifties tearing up as she thanked ‘magical’ boyfriend Travis Kelce while making history by earning her 30th VMA in her career.
The megastar – who led the star-studded red carpet – made a rare comment about about her Kansas City Chiefs star beau, as she took home the biggest award of the night Video of the Year at the gala event held at UBS Arena in Long Island, New York.
She – who earned seven total awards this evening alone – was recognized for her collab with Post Malone titled Fortnight who also joined her on stage along with her team.
Taylor recognised her boyfriend of nearly a year Travis and his contribution to the music video during her speech as she said: ‘And you know, the things that this video seems very sad when you watch it, but it was like the most fun video to make and something I will always remember is that when I would finish a take, and I would say cut, and we’d be done with the take, I would always just hear someone cheering and like woo from across the studio where we were shooting it and that one person was my boyfriend Travis.
‘Everything this man touches turns into happiness and find a magic so I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot because I will always remember that. ‘
It was a history making night for Taylor as she became the most decorated solo artist ever by earning 30 VMAs. She is technically tied with Beyonce at that number but the Cowboy Carter artist had previously won 2 with her former girl group Destiny’s Child.
Earlier in the night, Taylor was the first artist to take home the coveted Moon Person as the megastar earned the win in the Best Collab category alongside Post Malone.
Taylor and the 29-year-old rapper earned the major win for their music video for hit single Fortnight.
As the award show landed on the 23rd anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Taylor did not forget to recognize that dark day when she began her acceptance speech
She said: ‘You guys, I wanted to say waking up this morning in New York on September 11th, I’ve been thinking about what happened 23 years ago.
‘Everyone who lost a loved one, everyone that we lost, and that’s the most important thing about today. And everything that happens tonight.’
Meanwhile, Sabrina Carpenter had the biggest upset of the night as she defeated her mentor Taylor.
The 25-year-old hitmaker earned the coveted Song Of The Year Moon Person over the pop megastar for her smash hit Espresso.
Taylor was nominated for her song Fortnight, which was a collaboration with Post Malone.
Beyonce ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’, Jack Harlow ‘Lovin On Me’, Kendrick Lamar ‘Not Like Us’, and Teddy Swims ‘Lose Control’ were also nominated.
Another one of the biggest awards of the night came with this year’s recipient of the legendary Video Vanguard Award in Katy Perry.
The 39-year-old singer – born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson – was presented the honor by fiance Orlando Bloom as she planted a massive kiss on him.
