If there’s one thing Taylor Swift loves, it’s cats — and if there’s another, it’s showing off her dance moves at awards shows!
The 14-time Grammy winner busted a move in the crowd at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, where she’s up for a whopping 12 Moon Person trophies.
During Karol G’s performance, Swift, 34, got up from her seat to boogie alongside the Colombian star.
Later in the night, after changing from her Dior plaid bustier top and skirt into a short and sparkly mini dress, the “Fortnight” singer proved herself a Katy Perry fan as she stood up once again and grooved to the music.
Swift was seen singing Perry’s hit “Teenage Dream” beside pal Suki Waterhouse from the crowd, and even threw her hands in the air at one point and jumped up and down. She was also seen jamming to “E.T.” and “California Gurls.”
The star had the most nominations of any artist this year heading into the night, including artist of the year and video of the year.
Earlier in the show, she and Post Malone won best collaboration and song of the summer for their hit “Fortnight.”

“There is a very clear reason why Post Malone is everyone in music’s favorite person,” she said onstage. “You are so ridiculously talented, you are so versatile and you are the most down to earth person. Honestly so unfailingly polite, it has taken me forever to get him to stop calling me ma’am.”
In response, Malone joked, “Yes, ma’am,” and said that Swift “is absolutely one of the most kind and talented people I’ve ever had the honor of knowing.”
The 2024 MTV VMAs air on Sept. 11 at 8 p.m. ET/ PT live from the UBS Arena in New York.
