Taylor Swift is nothing if not supportive of fellow musicians. But her dancing at MTV VMAs is a mood in itself and has a separate fanbase altogether. There is a reason this year’s VMA backstage cameraman spent most time focusing on Swift. Neither the cameraman nor the fans were disappointed because the singer served and how! The highlight for a lot of Swifties tonight was probably their favorite artist winning two awards so far. But her reactions to Shakira’s performance take the cake.
We could not have asked for a better MTV VMA this year. From the million references to the singer to her winning Song of the Year and Best Pop Song, it has been a great night for Taylor Swift and her fans. But more than the awards she bags tonight, what excites everyone is her reaction. She already won hearts with her reaction to NSYNC’s reunion on the stage, but her vibing to Shakira and her iconic ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ has Swift at the heights of relatability.

Shakira, who won the MTV Vanguard award this year, set the stage on fire during her performance. From singing her iconic ‘She Wolf’ and ‘Wherever, Wherever’ to showing off her dancing skills, the Colombian singer was a delight to watch. And representing all that joy and wonderment we all felt was Taylor Swift as she jumped and danced and fangirled over Shakira. It was as if the ‘Lover’ singer was in a concert, but then when Shakira sings live, it is no less than a stadium concert.
Fans, seeing Swift’s reaction, were quick to crown her a “real” queen.
