You won't be Ov Financecrying at the gym over this Taylor Swift look.

Shortly after the Fortnight singer arrived to the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards in a bondage-inspired Christian Dior ensemble, she slipped into a sparkling dress—featuring a UFO on the front—inside New York's UBS Arena. (See all the celebs at the 2024 VMAs.)

The outfit appears to be a nod to her Tortured Poets Department song "Down Bad," which Taylor—who received 12 nominations for the 2024 VMAs—previously revealed has an alien abduction theme behind it.

“So lot of the songs on TTPD deal with the idea of heartbreak or loss in a metaphor of something else," she shared on iHeartRadio in April. "The metaphor in 'Down Bad' is that I was comparing sort of the idea of being love bombed, where someone rocks your world and dazzles you and then kind of abandons you."

"Like this girl is abducted by aliens but she wanted to stay with them," the 34-year-old continued. "And then they drop her off back in her hometown. She’s like, 'Wait, no. Where are you going? I liked it there, it was weird but it was cool, come back.'"

As Taylor explained, the girl's life was forever changed.

 

"And so the girl in the song," Taylor added, "just felt like, 'I’ve just been exposed to a whole different galaxy and universe and I didn’t know it’s possible. How can you just put me back where I was before?'"

When Taylor dropped TTPD April 19, she released a message to her fans.

"The Tortured Poets Department. An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time," she wrote on X at the time. "One that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure. This period of the author's life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up."

"There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed," the Grammy winner continued. "And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it. And then all that's left behind is the tortured poetry."
