Taylor Swift had an unforgettable night at the 40th annual MTV VMAs, taking home seven awards, including the coveted Video of the Year for “Fortnight,” her collaboration with Post Malone. This achievement further solidified Swift’s record as the solo artist with the most career VMA wins, as well as the most Video of the Year victories.
During her acceptance speech for her third consecutive Video of the Year win, Swift gave a heartfelt shoutout to her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, though he wasn’t in attendance.
“After every take, I’d hear someone cheering, and it was always Travis,” she said with a smile. “Everything he touches just brings happiness, fun, and magic.”
However, it wasn’t just her awards or touching speech that had everyone talking.
The “Eras Tour” star turned heads on the red carpet in a stunning tartan corset and skirt ensemble by Dior, paired with thigh-high boots and fingerless gloves. Yet, the true showstopper came later when Swift took the stage in a sparkling silver mini dress by Monse. Playful yet elegant, the asymmetrical dress featured cargo utility straps and intricate detailing, forming a UFO print that depicted an alien invasion scene over a rural landscape.
Though Swift’s dress was custom-made, a similar design is available on Monse’s website for $990, inspired by iconic 1950s sci-fi films, with an estimated shipping date of January 2025.
Fans quickly connected the dress to Swift’s song “Down Bad,” where she likens being “love bombed” to an alien abduction. In a 2024 iHeartRadio interview, she explained the metaphor further: “It’s about this girl who’s abducted by aliens and wants to stay with them, but they drop her off back home, and she’s like, ‘Wait, no. I liked it there!’”
The quirky UFO design left some fans in awe and others scratching their heads. On social media, many fans dubbed it the “Down Bad dress,” with one user exclaiming, “OMG, the dress has a spaceship!!! Down Bad!!!” Another raved, “A Down Bad dress?! With a UFO?! This look slays!”
Others were more focused on her impeccable style. “The silver spaceship dress was a total showstopper! Taylor never disappoints with her fashion,” wrote one fan, while another, slightly confused, asked, “What’s on Taylor Swift’s dress?”
Regardless of the mixed reactions, Swift continues to surprise and captivate with her bold choices.
