Taylor Swift's VMA 2022 Red Carpet Dress Leaves Little To The Imagination

Singer Taylor Swift is making her fans' "Wildest Dreams" come true by showing up at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday.

The "Red" singer walked the red carpet at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, where her 2021 “All Too Well: The Short Film,” was nominated for five awards.

The "I Bet You Think About Me" singer, 32, turned heads as she walked the red carpet in a glittering Oscar de la Renta dress that consisted of thousands of delicate jewels all sewn together to make her sparkling ensemble.

The Hollywood Reporter got the inside scoop on her look, reporting that the crystals were embroidered over a tulle minidress from the Resort 2023 collection by Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia for Oscar de la Renta.

The "Mirrorball" singer accessorized her look with diamond earrings by Lorraine Schwartz and topped off her look with Christian Louboutin’s Bombina Pampilla sandals in silver leather with crystal embellishments.

Although Taylor has been absent from past ceremonies in recent years, her "All Too Well" short film was nominated for Video of the Year, Best Longform Video, Best Cinematography, Best Direction, and Best Editing. The fifteen-minute film stars “Stranger Things” actress Sadie Sink and "Teen Wolf" star Dylan O'Brien, who was also seen walking the red carpet.

The Video Music Awards tweeted a photo of Taylor's look, calling her a "real life mirrorball."

They also repeated some of Taylor's lyrics right back at her: "I MIGHT BE OKAY BUT IM NOT FINE AT ALL!!!"

MTV also dropped in the name of her short film and legendary song, tweeting, "You're freaking out about @taylorswift13's arrival at the #VMAs, too... I know the feeling allllll too well ❤️."

A Taylor Swift fan account also snagged some video of Taylor and Dylan O'Brien dancing to Lizzo's performance at the VMAs. Seeing Taylor dance at awards shows again was cathartic to some fans, who commented, "Nature is healing."

Unfortunately, Taylor didn't win all of the awards that she was nominated for. She did win for Video of the Year, Best Longform Video, and Best Direction. In the category of Best Cinematography, she lost to her ex-boyfriend, Harry Styles for "As It Was" and lost to Rosalía's "Saoko" for Best Editing.

“I’m so honored to have been recognized alongside such amazing artists and directors in this category,” she said after receiving her award. “I just want to say I’m so heartened by the fact that for the first time in VMA history four of the directors nominated in the Video of the Year category are women.”

“You guys, I’m just so proud of what we made and I know with every second of this moment that we wouldn’t have been able to make this short film if it weren’t for you the fans. I wouldn’t be able to re-record my albums if it weren’t for you, you emboldened me to do that.”
