Taylor Swift’s UFO-themed outfit at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards has sparked a lot of speculation among fans.
Some fans theorize that this could be a reference to the remix of her song “Down Bad”.
During the “Eras Tour” segment of “Down Bad”, Swift glides across the stage illuminated by a UFO-like light.
The song also contains themes and references related to supernatural concepts.
In a previous interview, Swift explained, “The metaphor in ‘Down Bad’ is me comparing the idea of being love-bombed.”
“Where someone rocks your world and overwhelms you and then abandons you. This girl gets abducted by aliens but she wants to stay with them.”
“And then when they dropped her off back home, she was like, ‘Wait, no, where are you going? I love it there! It’s weird but fun. Come back!'”
The 14-time Grammy Award-winning artist regularly drops subtle hints, or Easter eggs, for his attentive fans.
Eagle-eyed fans have been connecting the dots between her angelic outfit choices and speculating that a new single titled “Down Bad” could be coming soon or a remix could be on the way as well.

Digging deeper into the matter, some social media users noticed that in both photos of Swift taken at the VMAs and the after-party, there were two people standing underneath the UFO on her dress, hinting at a possible collaboration with another artist on the remix.
Sabrina Carpenter also touched on the space theme during her VMA performance. Her performance of her new hit “Taste” included a memorable moment when she kissed an alien on stage.
Some social media users shared their theories:
@willnights1 wrote on X, “Sabrina’s performance was full of aliens and Taylor’s costume had a spaceship on it… what’s going on?? A bad remix featuring Sabrina??”
@Shades_OfWrong_ suggested, “I think Sabrina was just because the VMAs were space themed, but Taylor changed out of that dress and then into an identical patterned outfit for Afterparty? The next single sucks?”
@urfavswiftie00 tweeted, “I thought I was the only one who noticed. I thought I would be so delusional I would be speechless. Lmao, why would Sabrina suddenly choose aliens for her performance.”
“I’m not 10000% sure about this but Taylor’s dress also has 2 people on it so I’m sure a bad remix with a special feature is coming soon,” @billorball said.
