Taylor Swift looked beautiful on the red carpet at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, which were held on August 25 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

The 23-year-old singer took a plane to New York after her shows in Los Angeles to present at the awards show with her best friend Selena Gomez.

Taylor has also been nominated for two show awards: Video of the Year and Best Female Video.

Some of the craziest and most extravagant red carpet looks in history were inspired by the MTV Video Music Awards.

Lil Kim’s purple nipple pasty, Lady Gaga’s “raw meat” outfit, and Rose McGowan’s “chainmail” outfit that showed off her bottoms were some of the best from the previous years. At the show on August 25, 2013, there were a lot of beautiful outfits, but there were no clothes made entirely of food.

Miley Cyrus looked mature and beautiful in a plunging Herve Leger by Max Azria dress and golden hair like Marilyn Monroe. Taylor Swift, on the other hand, walked the red carpet at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center in black pants and an off-the-shoulder crop top studded with many bright stones.
