Taylor Swift, who leads this year’s nominees for the MTV VMAs, arrived on Sunday’s carpet in a matching metallic houndstooth crop top and pants (no belly button in sight though, of course). And the #squad queen arrived with her “Bad Blood” girl gang — the music video is nominated for Video of the Year award with Kendrick Lamar, after all. Or as she put it on Twitter, “#squadUP.”
Here, we take a look at what Swift’s crew wore to music’s biggest night.
