She’s just gonna shake, shake, shake. Taylor Swift may not have performed at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, but she still managed to steal the show from the moment she stepped onto the black carpet.The “Shake It Off” singer, 32, turned heads when she arrived at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on Sunday, August 28, in a sparkling silver Oscar de la Renta dress and sky-high heels.

The look, which she paired with a sleek updo and her signature red lip, reminded fans of her 2017 music video, “Look What You Made Me Do,” in which Swift reclined in a bathtub full of diamonds.The songwriter continued to shine inside the arena, where she was spotted singing and dancing along to multiple performances.

When Fergie joined cohost Jack Harlow for a performance of his hit single, “First Class,” — her first live performance in 4 years — Swift bounced up and down in her seat to cheer for the former Black Eyed Peas member, 47.

The camera also caught the Pennsylvania native dancing to Lizzo alongside Dylan O’Brien, who accompanied her to the show.Swift made sure that the Teen Wolf alum, 31, also joined her onstage when “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version)” won Breakthrough Long Form Video later in the show.“Before this, I had directed and written my music videos, but I had never directed a short film before. … We put our entire hearts into this trying to make something that might be worthy of the love that you, the fans have shown this song,” the Cats star said in her speech. “Thank you for this beautiful indication that we did something right.” (Swift also won Best Direction for the 10-minute clip.)When it was other stars’ time to shine, Swift was just as intent on celebrating them.
