Of Course Taylor Swift’s VMAs After-Party Minidress Has Easter Eggs on It

Taylor Swift made one last outfit change before ending her MTV VMAs night, heading back into New York City for an after-party at Electric Lady Studios. The singer’s final look, however, had a very similar design to her second ceremony dress. In fact, they were from the same designer: Monse. Both pieces had UFOs on them. Swift’s after-party set was the brand’s “UFO Tapestry Boyfriend Jacket” and “Harness Tapestry Dress.”

It seems Swift is doubling down on her “Down Bad” Easter egg and the symbolism behind her designer choice of Monse. For those who want to read into the name, there may be a little tip of the hat to her partner, Travis Kelce, as well with that “boyfriend” jacket.

The Kansas City tight end couldn’t join his girlfriend at the VMAs as he had to return to work. Still, Swift gave her “boyfriend” a shout-out in her Video of the Year speech for “Fortnight.”

She told the crowd, “Something that I’ll always remember is that when I would finish a take, and I’d say, ‘Cut,’ and we’d be done with that take, I would always just hear like someone like cheering and like [going], ‘Whoo!’ from across the studio where we were shooting it, and that one person was my boyfriend, Travis. Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic. So I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot, because I’ll always remember that.”

Swift didn’t announce any new projects at the VMAs, but some fans theorize she could be hinting “Down Bad” will be her next The Tortured Poets Department single.

The UFOs on both Swift’s Monse looks allude to its first lyrics: “Did you really beam me up? / In a cloud of sparkling dust / Just to do experiments on / Tell me I was the chosen one / Showed me that this world is bigger than us / Then sent me back where I came from / For a moment I knew cosmic love / Now I’m down bad, crying at the gym.”

Swift’s choice of Monse also has a little political symbolism. Former first lady Michelle Obama wore the brand while giving her speech at the Democratic National Convention in August. Swift endorsed Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate for president, earlier this week.

During her final VMAs speech, Swift used her last words to literally encourage everyone to vote. She said, “If you are over 18, please register to vote for something else that’s very important: our presidential election. I love you guys so, so much. Thank you for this moment.” You can register to vote on vote.gov.
