It’s impossible to upstage Taylor Swift. Megan Thee Stallion might have pulled it off, and we’re not even talking about her viral Simone Biles approved leotard fit.

While the MTV Video Music Awards doesn’t have the cultural significance of its heyday, the 2024 version had many viral moments given the star power that attended and performed, like Sabrina Carpenter making out with an alien, Taylor Swift full-fangirl singing along to Katy Perry’s lifetime-achievement award performance, and then the global pop icon’s heartwarming speech thanking her “boyfriend Travis” after picking up the biggest award of the night, video of the year, with Post Malone for “Fortnight,” matching Beyoncé with most VMA awards of all time with 30.

Give her eventful 24 hours, and as usually the case, the 34-year-old biggest star in the world owned the VMAs, and she didn’t even perform. The fashion icon’s original fit was a show stopper, and then she did a wardrobe change mid-show into a spaghetti strap MTV Moonman-esque shimmering silver minidress and high black boots. Megan Thee Stallion, who hosted the show, had many wardrobe changes, but the sheer glittery strapless full-length dress might have been the night’s winner.
