Katy Perry, 39, flashed her flat midriff in a shredded white bralette and maxi skirt, rocking wet-looking locks and sultry makeup.

Taylor looked incredible in the edgy Dior look, showcasing her statuesque frame.

The Grammy award winning singer – who is in a relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce – had all eyes on her in the plaid dress with the open center – revealing her tiny thigh-grazing shorts beneath.

The corset style dress put her cleavage on full display; the star added lace up gloves that went up to her shoulders, finishing up the look with boots.

Sabrina dazzled in the strapless number as she posed up a storm on the red carpet.

The vintage Bob Mackie gown from 1991 was sourced from Tab Vintage, according to WWD.

She is technically tied with Beyonce at that number but the Cowboy Carter artist had previously won 2 with her former girl group Destiny’s Child.

While on stage for her Video of the Year, Taylor thanked her boyfriend Travis Kelce, even tearing up.

Taylor recognized her boyfriend of nearly a year Travis and his contribution to the music video during her speech as she said: ‘And you know, the things that this video seems very sad when you watch it, but it was like the most fun video to make and something I will always remember is that when I would finish I take and I would say cut and we’d be done with the take, I would always just here someone cheering and like woo from across the studio where we were shooting it and that one person was my boyfriend Travis.’

 ‘Everything this man touches turns into happiness and find a magic so I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot because I will always remember that,’ she said.

Earlier in the night Taylor was the first artist to take home the coveted Moon Person.

The megastar star earned the win in the Best Collab category alongside Post Malone at the MTV VMAs 2024 on Wednesday night.
