Taylor Swift caused a major stir at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, and even more than a week later, people can’t stop talking about her! Fans, especially her loyal Swifties, have been poring over every little detail of her appearance, and many are convinced that the superstar now “looks like a wax statue” after “too many fillers” and an “obvious nose job.”

But the night was much bigger than just her appearance. At the 40th annual VMAs, Taylor had a phenomenal evening, walking away with seven awards, including the top honor for her music video “Fortnight,” a collaboration with Post Malone.
The event, held on September 11th, saw Taylor making history once again, becoming the solo artist with the most career VMA wins and the artist with the most Video of the Year awards.

During her acceptance speech for her third consecutive Video of the Year award, Taylor didn’t forget to thank someone important: her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who couldn’t attend the event.
“When I’d finish a take, and I’d say cut, and we’d be done with that take, I’d always just hear someone cheering and like ‘whoo’ from across the studio,” she shared with a smile. “And that one person was my boyfriend, Travis. Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic.”

But it wasn’t just her big wins or her heartfelt speech that got people talking. Before stepping onto the stage in a UFO-inspired dress, Taylor turned heads on the red carpet in a bold tartan corset and skirt designed by Dior, paired with thigh-high boots and fingerless gloves that stretched all the way past her elbows.
This dramatic outfit had fans divided. Some critics weren’t impressed with her choice. One fan bluntly said, “Money doesn’t dress classy,” while another added, “Whoever dresses her needs to be let go.” In fact, some went as far as calling her stylist the “worst ever.”
However, not everyone was tearing apart her look. Many fans loved her daring style. “I actually dig this outfit! Not the same as everyone else!” one fan wrote, praising her uniqueness. Another even compared her yellow and black gown to something from Harry Potter: “I’m digging this outfit. Looks amazing and also very Hufflepuffy.”

But the conversation didn’t end with her fashion. Some fans started speculating whether Taylor had undergone cosmetic procedures. One online user was convinced she’d gotten “lip fillers,” while others were more focused on the noticeable lift in her chest.
“Damn…T Swift with the boob job, man, times have changed,” one fan commented. Another fan said, “Love Taylor and zero judgment, but did she get a boob job?”
Others offered their own theories. “The push-up bra pushed way too much!!!” one fan suggested as the reason for her fuller look.
Though Taylor has never publicly admitted to any cosmetic work, some fans couldn’t help but wonder if her face had been altered too. Many pointed to her nose, with one person writing, “I love her, but obvious nose job. That’s disappointing.”
Some fans even felt that Taylor’s overall look was starting to appear less natural. “The plastic surgery and fillers are starting to look quite obvious. She honestly looks like a wax statue of Taylor Swift,” another fan wrote.
Despite all the talk about her style and appearance, there’s no denying one thing: Taylor Swift knows how to keep everyone buzzing, whether it’s about her jaw-dropping wins or her eye-catching looks!
