This Is Why Taylor Swift Won’t Be Attending the VMAs


The VMAs have always been a memorable award show for Taylor Swift. She had her first television performance of “Shake It Off” at the show in 2014. Last year, she walked away with the coveted Video of the Year award for “Bad Blood.” And who can forget when Tay’s feud with Kanye got its start back at the 2009 ceremony?

But it appears Taylor is steering clear of the MTV event this year. According to PEOPLE, Swift will not be attending the annual ceremony, set to take place Sunday night. As a source told PEOPLE, “Taylor was never scheduled to attend the VMAs.”

Swift was snubbed by the VMAs earlier this year when she didn’t receive a single nomination, despite her music videos for “Out of the Woods” and “Wildest Dreams” being eligible.

Not only does this mean Taylor will avoid any run-ins with Kimye, but we will also have to wait a little longer for Hiddleswift to make their official red carpet debut.
