Taylor Swift has reportedly decided whether she will attend the MTV VMAs. The award show will be held on Sunday, Sept. 7, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and MTV and will stream on Paramount+.
According to multiple reports, Swift is bowing out of the VMAs this year despite being nominated for Artist of the Year. She is nominated alongside Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar, and Morgan Wallen. However, neither she nor her team has confirmed that the singer will be missing out on this year's award show.

Taylor Swift mentions Travis Kelce relationship for first time
Last year's VMAs was the first time that Swift publicly acknowledged her relationship with her now-fiancé Travis Kelce. While accepting her award for video of the year for her “Fortnight” collaboration with Post Malone, she shared how Kelce cheered her on during the process.
“This video seems very sad when you watch it, but it was actually the most fun video to make,” Taylor said while accepting her award last year, adding that she would “always just hear someone cheering, like, ‘Whoo!’ from across the studio where we were shooting [the ‘Fortnight’ music video],” she reminisced. “And that one person was my boyfriend, Travis.”
Fast forward to almost a year later, the two announced that they are engaged. They shared a photo of the garden-themed proposal on August 26.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the caption read.
