Joining her was Sabrina Carpenter, who after a surprise win for Song Of The Year, changed out of her white gown into a racy white lace mini dress.

Elsewhere, Tyla showed off her daring sense of style in an incredibly revealing illusion top, teamed with daring cut-out jeans.
The hitmaker added to her 90s-inspired look with matching denim heeled boots.
Tate McRae left little to the imagination in a leggy pink fringed mini dress covered with intricate beaded detailing.
Taylor had Swifties tearing up as she thanked ‘magical’ boyfriend Travis Kelce while making history by earning her 30th VMA in her career.
The megastar – who led the star-studded red carpet – made a rare comment about about her Kansas City Chiefs star beau, as she took home the biggest award of the night Video of the Year at the gala event held at UBS Arena in Long Island, New York.
She – who earned seven total awards this evening alone – was recognized for her collab with Post Malone titled Fortnight who also joined her on stage along with her team.
Taylor recognised 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 hear 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. ‘
It was a history making night for Taylor as she became the most decorated solo artist ever by earning 30 VMAs. 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.
