Taylor Swift attends MTV Video Music Awards red carpet for first appearance since wedding

Taylor Swift arrived at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, marking her first appearance on a red carpet since her July wedding to NFL player Travis Kelce. The singer wore a black and silver gown with sheer side panels and silver stilettos. Kelce was absent from the event, as his team, the Kansas City Chiefs, were playing the Miami Dolphins that day. Swift is nominated for nine VMA categories and could become the most-awarded artist in the ceremony's history, surpassing Beyoncé.

"I’m honored to be nominated for so many categories and grateful for the support of fans and my team," Swift said in a brief statement.
