7 times Taylor Swift was having the time of her life at the 2023 MTV VMAs

Taylor Swift dancing like nobody is watching at the VMA’s is highly relatable.

Taylor Swift is one of the biggest pop stars in the world. The 33-year-old Pennsylvania native has been rewriting history books for many years, including Tuesday night at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs).

Swift took home a staggering nine “Moon Men,” bringing her total to 23 awards, second only to Beyoncé, who has 30. However, it wasn’t her winning that generated the most buzz on Tuesday night. It was Swift’s reaction to other celebrities.

As you might imagine, there isn’t much time for the Grammy award-winning songstress to be herself, and without fans around and surrounded only by others who share in her plight, Swift took several moments to let loose.

These are the seven times Taylor Swift was having the time of her life at the VMAs:

Selena Gomez became a meme reacting at the MTV VMAs and wasn’t happy about it

She wasn’t too happy about this one.

I completely understand what Selena Gomez is miffed about.

You go to an awards show like the MTV VMAs, try to enjoy it as a fan like anyone, and then the audience camera is on you like 90 percent of the time, so anything you do will become a meme.

Having said that, Gomez’s reactions from the 2023 VMAs were absolutely meme-worthy, including the face she made when Chris Brown was nominated. It’s another one to add to the collection of meme faces, like her reaction to Lionel Messi nearly scoring.

But Gomez posted on Instagram that she’d “rather sit still than be dragged for being myself.”

So, here’s the meme (and there were other faces caught on camera, too) and her response:

Saweetie battled the teleprompter at the 2023 MTV VMAs but got the last laugh

The 2023 MTV Video Music Awards prove that even celebrities, like Saweetie, are human.

MTV hosted its annual Video Music Awards (VMAs) Tuesday night, a star-studded event as usual. The yearly gathering brings out some of the best in the music and entertainment industry. Everyone from Nicki Minaj to Taylor Swift was in attendance to see who would take home a coveted “moon man.”

What makes the VMAs an excellent experience for fans is that their favorites are heavily involved in the award show’s production. From NSYNC reuniting for an award presentation for Swift to Demi Lovato performing a rock mix of her song “Heart Attack,” it’s all hands on deck.

So, it’s no surprise that rapper Saweetie was asked to help. However, things didn’t go as smoothly as planned when she stepped up to read a teleprompter.

Understandably, Saweetie flubbed some of the words. Reading a teleprompter is hard to do. The words are scrolling by faster than you think, and even with practice, a seasoned entertainer or speaker could slip up. Twitter predictably trolled her, but she was ready and called her haters out.

“I see what you’re doing,” Saweetie said. Completely unfazed, she went on about her night. Kudos to her for not letting social media get to her. She ultimately got the last laugh.

Yes, girl. We’re here for it.

The most stunning outfits from the 2023 VMAs red carpet, from Taylor Swift to Nicki Minaj

Some amazing looks from the 2023 VMAs.

The 2023 MTV Video Music Awards gave us, as usual, some amazing moments — NSYNC reunited to present a statue, and among the people who were so pumped was Taylor Swift — and some incredible performances, like Shakira performing her deep catalogue and receiving the Video Vanguard award.

But, like with the Oscars or other awards shows, the VMAs red carpet gave us some stunning outfits worn by some of the biggest names in music and pop culture.

In no particular order, let’s run through some of the incredible photos of those looks from the event at the Prudential Center on Tuesday night:

NSYNC reunited at the VMAs to present an award. Is new music on the way?

NSYNC reunited at the MTV VMAs this week. Could new music be on the way?

Nostalgia for the 1990s/2000s boy band explosion reached a fever pitch on Tuesday night as NSYNC reunited to present an award at the MTV Video Music Awards in New York.

While the group didn’t spend too much time on stage while presenting the Best Pop music video award to Taylor Swift, the presentation will reportedly be followed by a new NSYNC song for the upcoming film Trolls Band Together.

Yes, the DreamWorks Animation franchise co-starring NSYNC member Justin Timberlake shared a new teaser during the VMAs that featured a glimpse at what’s likely a new NSYNC song called “Take You To A Better Place.” You can hear a glimpse of the new song toward the end of the promo.

NSYNC hasn’t produced new music together since 2001’s Celebrity, which featured songs like “Pop” and “Girlfriend.” The group has made brief appearances since then, including a surprise performance at the MTV VMAs back in 2013.

The group also appeared at Coachella alongside Ariana Grande in 2019, sans Timberlake.

However, it looks like NSYNC is really back together for a new song that should come out closer to the release of Trolls Band Together in November.

Either that, or they’re really just … trolling us.

Taylor Swift had the most relatable reaction to seeing NSYNC reunite at the VMAs

Taylor Swift is an icon. On Tuesday night, she was just like the rest of us: super excited to see NSYNC.

One of the most iconic boy bands of all time made a grand return to the MTV Video Music Awards, and another music icon got as excited as the rest of us.

The late 1990s/early 2000s pop group NSYNC surprised music fans by making a mini-reunion and presenting the VMA for Best Pop, which went to Taylor Swift for her music video for “Anti-Hero.”

Well, Swift got incredibly excited to see the boy band back together, and the VMA camera caught her in complete shock as the NSYNC five made it to the stage.

We get it, Taylor. We really, really get it. C’mon, it’s NSYNC!

As fate would have it, Swift would eventually get to meet NSYNC on the stage as she was given her VMA.

 

The members of NSYNC even gave Swift a friendship bracelet to mark the occasion.

Hey, that’s pretty cool. One era of music meets another for a heck of a moment for music fans at this year’s VMAs.

We just hope there’s a collaboration on the way since NSYNC is reportedly going to make new music soon.
