The excitement generated by Taylor Swift’s performance at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards is still being discussed more than a week after the event. Her fans have spent the past several days analyzing every detail of her appearance, concluding that the superstar “looks like a wax statue” due to “too many fillers” and “an obvious nose job.”
Swift had an incredible night at the 40th annual MTV Video Music Awards, winning seven trophies, including the top honor for her video “Fortnight,” a collaboration with Post Malone. After the events of September 11, she set new records, becoming the solo artist with the most career Video Music Awards (VMAs) and the most Video of the Year accolades.
During her acceptance speech for her third consecutive Video of the Year award, she praised her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, who was not present at the ceremony. “When I’d finish a take and say cut, I’d always hear someone cheering from across the studio,” she said. “It was one of the most exciting moments of my career. That someone was my boyfriend. Everything he touches turns into joy and magic.”
However, not just her accolades but also her fashion choices received criticism. The “Eras Tour” singer walked the red carpet in a tartan corset and skirt from Dior, paired with thigh-high boots and elbow-length fingerless gloves, before changing into a UFO-inspired outfit for her performances. Reactions to her bold plaid look were mixed, with some fans claiming she had “the worst stylist ever.” One fan commented, “Money does not dress classy,” while another suggested, “Whoever dresses her needs to be let go.” Yet, others praised her unique style, describing it as “Clueless meets Avril Lavigne,” and some expressed their love for her distinct fashion sense.
One user enthusiastically noted, “I’m really digging this outfit,” referring to Swift’s yellow and black gown reminiscent of Hogwarts house colors from Harry Potter, calling it “wonderful and incredibly Hufflepuffy.” While some admired her bold choices, others speculated about cosmetic enhancements. One fan suggested she has “lip fillers,” while others pointed to a noticeable lift in her bust.
Comments online included, “Damn…T Swift with the boob job, wow, times have changed,” and “Love Taylor and zero judgment, but did she get a boob job? The push-up bra pushed way too much!” Some users felt that Swift’s appearance suggested she was “quickly approaching a stuffed-and-frozen look.” Despite her never publicly admitting to any cosmetic procedures, one fan remarked, “It’s obvious she has had a nose operation,” while another noted, “The plastic surgery and fillers are becoming quite visible. She looks like a wax figure of Taylor Swift.”
