In an exciting turn of events, Taylor Swift has achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the most awarded artist in the history of the VMAs, amassing a total of 27 awards, outshining Beyoncé. Following her extensive four-month tour in Europe titled “The Eras Tour,” Swift is now taking a brief pause. Her next performance is scheduled for October 18 in Miami, coinciding with the ongoing NFL season. This timing allows Swift to show support for Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce, similar to her presence during her European tour. With “The Eras Tour” set to wrap up in Canada on December 8, it has already secured its status as the highest-grossing tour in history, boasting over a billion dollars in revenue from 152 shows worldwide.
Solo Dancing at the VMAs
During the 40th VMAs, Swift and Post Malone clinched the award for ‘Best Collaboration’ for their track “Fortnight.” This victory marks Swift’s third win in this category, putting her on equal footing with Beyoncé. Swift’s previous wins were for “Bad Blood” in 2015 featuring Kendrick Lamar, and for “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” in 2017 alongside ZAYN.
Later on, a moment during the event was captured where Swift was seen dancing by herself, sparking discussions among fans about her body language. Many sensed she was missing Travis Kelce, especially when she turned to her right as if she expected him to be there. With her “Eras Tour” schedule allowing her to witness the initial five weeks of the NFL season, as well as the playoffs, fans are eagerly anticipating more appearances of Swift at NFL events, creating buzz for the season.
Swift’s Influence in Politics
Taylor Swift is not only influential in music; her impact also stretches into the political realm. She has recently utilized her Instagram account to advocate for voter registration and to openly support Democrat Kamala Harris in the lead-up to the November 5 elections. Swift’s backing is anticipated to resonate strongly with younger voters. During her acceptance speech alongside Post Malone, she also took a moment to honor the victims of 9/11, highlighting the need to remember such significant events. Additionally, she praised Post Malone, referring to him as one of the most cherished collaborators in the industry.
