The 2014 VMAs

Taylor started off VMA day by sharing a few pictures with us. The first one was of her bedazzled mic and her amazingly sparkly shoes.

Then she shared her and Olivia's "game" faces which are adorable!

Finally, she shared this gem of her and Ed getting ready. I knew there was a reason his skin is always so flawless!!

Taylor showed up wearing a very short long sleeved blue alphabet romper and maroon shoes. While the reviews on her outfit are mixed, she pulled it off. I would never wear this, but I must say she looked incredible. Her legs were on full display and the world thanks her for it. I'm glad she made such a fearless choice and wore something she really loved and really wanted to wear.

Also, Tay was interviewed by Lucy Hale who is not only amazing, but a fellow swiftie. I'm glad she and Tay finally got to meet and I hope this was the beginning of an amazing new friendship.

Taylor performed "Shake It Off" live for the first time and holy f was it amazing. The sparkly crop top outfit was amazing and totally brought flashbacks of the purple Fearless dress and the gold Speak Now dress. It's like the Red era was a complete departure, but now we're getting a little bit of the old Tay back a long with a lot of the new Taylor.

Her performance was very "Great Gatsby"-esque and it was amazing. There was so much sass and I loved it! At one point it looked like she was going to jump into the arms of all of those very handsome men, but then she showed her quirky side and refused. "I don't care if it's the VMAs, I'm not jumping down there. People are getting bit by snakes, it's dangerous." She was referring to an incident the day before when one of Nicki Minaj's dancers got bit by a snake. Tay then ran down the stairs and got in place before belting out the high note. It was quirky and adorable, all in typical Taylor fashion.

During her performance the camera panned to audience members who all seemed to be enjoying it, except for Miley who looked shocked by what Taylor was doing. Gwen Stefani, JLo, and Ariana Grande all seemed to enjoy the performance.

Another highlight of the night is Taylor hanging out with Demi Lovato. I love their friendship. Taylor and Lorde sat with Demi, Nick Jonas, and his girlfriend. It looked like everyone was enjoying themselves. Also, Lorde was super sweet in her introduction of Taylor and Taylor's reaction to Lorde winning her first VMA was adorable. She was so excited for her and for Ed when he also won his first VMA. All in all, I'd say it was a pretty good night.
