Taylor Swift Skipped The VMAs To Holiday In Ireland

The Video Music Awards took place in Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, on Sunday night and we were glued to MTV and Instagram watching it all unfold.

There were fabulous outfits, amazing performances and big wins, but one person everyone noticed missing was Taylor Swift.

She’s had some big moments at the VMAs over the years, it was at this show that Kanye West burst onto the stage during Taylor’s acceptance of Best Female Video.

Though she won Best Female Video for You Belong With Me in 2009, Kanye jumped on stage insisting Beyonce should have won for All The Single Ladies.

But if you thought she was skipping out to avoid something like that, you’d be wrong.

The Evermore singer was simply supporting boyfriend Joe Alwyn while he was filming in Ireland.

Joe is set to play a lead role in Sally Rooney’s new show Conversations With Friends. Filming has been taking place in Donegal and Nothern Ireland and Taylor’s been stopping by to see him.

She was first spotted in Ireland in July for the same reason, and it seems she returned last week.

Over on Twitter, people have been sharing snaps of the singer with fans.

TayTay was seemingly there to celebrate the wrap party for the show, meaning that hopefully, it will be out soon.

TBH, she looks like she’s having plenty of fun in Ireland. Who needs award shows?
