Taylor Swift showed up for the 2023 MTV VMAs decked out in a stunning black gown with a thigh-high slit.

On Tuesday 12 September, Swift, who is nominated for multiple awards, arrived on the pink carpet at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, for the awards ceremony.

For the occasion, she opted for a black, floor-length Versace dress with ruching and gold button details. She paired the look with multiple necklaces and a low updo.

Fans were excited by Swift’s all-black ensemble, saying that it was Reputation inspired. One fan wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “DJ please play dress by Taylor Swift (Reputation Taylor‘s version).”

Someone else commented: “NO THOUGHTS JUST TAYLOR SWIFT IN A BLACK DRESS WITH A SLIT.”

Tonight, the pop star is leading the 2023 VMA nominations with 11 noms, including three in social categories.
