Rei Ami Says Lady Gaga’s Meat Dress Is Still Iconic & Shares Her Favorite Taylor Swift Music Video | VMAs 2026

Fuerza Regida caught up with Billboard’s Tetris Kelly on the red carpet of the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards.

The 2026 MTV VMAs ceremony ended with Taylor Swift taking home the ultimate prize of the night - the Video of the Year award for her single "The Fate of Ophelia." In her heartfelt acceptance speech, Swift paid tribute to the "ultimate showgirl," Dolly Parton, whom she described as possessing "true grace and true grit" in one dazzling package.

The Eras tour headliner thanked her fans, collaborators, and particularly Dolly, whose storytelling had brought the music videos to life like watching the best films. Dolly Parton, a 14-time Grammy winner, passed away in August due to cancer, leaving a lasting impact on the music industry. Swift's acceptance of the Moon Person from host Snoop Dogg came after a night filled with awards for the pop star, including the first-ever Artist Director award and the premiere of her new music video "Patient Zero."
