Why Fans Think Taylor Swift Is Performing at the 2024 MTV VMAs

As a die-hard Taylor Swift fan who has followed her meteoric rise to fame since the early days of Fearless, I must say that while I’m always eager for any news about my beloved idol, I’ve learned to take rumors with a grain of salt. The recent speculation surrounding Taylor Swift’s potential performance at the 2024 MTV VMAs had me on the edge of my seat, but alas, it seems we must all wait patiently for official confirmation from MTV themselves.


There’s speculation among fans about whether Taylor Swift might be performing at the upcoming MTV VMAs event, possibly even as the opening act. This buzz comes following online rumors. After concluding the European segment of her Eras Tour earlier this year, Swift is currently enjoying a well-deserved break before resuming her final Eras Tour concerts across various US states and Canada from October 2024 to December 2024.

Is it confirmed that Taylor Swift will perform at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards? Or, is Taylor Swift slated as the first act to take the stage at the 2024 VMAs? I’ve got the information you need right here.

Will Taylor Swift perform at the 2024 MTV VMAs?

Taylor Swift is not confirmed to be performing at the 2024 MTV VMAs.

Although there may be some disappointment about the postponement, fans can anticipate other scheduled events featuring Eminem. According to various news sources, Eminem has been nominated for eight awards at this year’s MTV VMAs and is confirmed to participate in musical performances during the ceremony. Remarkably, he will kick off the event with a performance from his new album, The Death of Slim Shady.

Artists confirmed by MTV for their performances are Anitta, Benson Boone, Camila Cabello, Chappell Roan, GloRilla, Halsey, KAROL G, LISA, Teddy Swims, Lenny Kravitz, Megan Thee Stallion, Shawn Mendes, and Sabrina Carpenter. In simpler terms, these are the artists you’ll see on MTV’s stage.

While it hasn’t been confirmed that Taylor Swift will perform, she has undeniably been nominated for a total of 13 awards. Her Eras Tour nominations span across various categories on the official MTV site, such as Song of the Summer for her collaboration with Post Malone (Fortnight), VMAs Most Iconic Performance for You Belong With Me, Video of the Year for Fortnight, and Artist of the Year.

Why do fans think Taylor Swift is singing at the VMAs?

Fans believed that Taylor Swift was singing at the VMAs because of a fake post on X (Twitter).

As a gamer, I stumbled upon a post from fellow enthusiast Taylor Throwbacks that read, “VMAs just revealed Taylor is opening the show!!!” with what seemed to be an MTV link attached. Given that Taylor was verified, many believed the source to be reliable. But alas, it turned out to be false. Contrary to the claims, MTV hadn’t confirmed Taylor Swift as one of the performers for the VMAs ceremony yet.

Additionally, when visiting the site, users found themselves automatically directed to a tailor-made page aimed at increasing Swift’s vote tally, ultimately securing her victory at the MTV VMAs. (Paraphrased by Creative Content Crafter)
