Taylor Swift responds to Katy Perry’s edited comment at the VMAs: See the video.

Katy Perry wowed fans with a career-spanning medley and heartfelt Vanguard acceptance speech at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. The star-studded event held on Wednesday (Sept. 11) had everyone on their toes, including Taylor Swift, whose jaw dropped multiple times during Perry’s performance.

One of the standout moments came when Perry mentioned the LGBTQ community, expressing gratitude for their support and showing that one can be both kind and courageous. This statement caused quite a reaction from Swift, who was visibly shocked and impressed by Perry’s words.

Another memorable moment was when Perry revealed that she had done her entire performance while on her period. This revelation momentarily stunned Swift, who eventually showed her support with a nod of encouragement. During Perry’s medley performance, she shared a surprising kiss with collaborator Doechii, leaving the audience in awe.

Swifties, as Taylor Swift’s fans are known, closely followed her reactions throughout the show. They took to social media to express their excitement, with one fan calling Swift’s reaction to the kiss “priceless” and another highlighting the moment she was taken aback by Perry’s bold statement.

Taylor Swift also had her shining moments at the VMAs, taking home seven awards, including video of the year for “Fortnight.” This achievement tied her with Beyonce for the most-awarded artist in VMA history, solidifying her status as a music icon. Fans were thrilled to see Swift supporting Perry and dancing along to her performance, showcasing their renewed friendship.

Perry and Swift’s relationship has had its ups and downs, with a well-known feud that they eventually resolved in 2018. The following year, Perry appeared in Swift’s “You Need to Calm Down” music video, signaling a rekindled bond between the two pop stars.

The MTV Video Music Awards provided a platform for both Katy Perry and Taylor Swift to showcase their talents and celebrate their friendship, much to the delight of their devoted fans. Watch Swift’s reactions to Perry’s big moment below.
