Sheeran, Lorde, Perry and Miley Cyrus are among the acts performing at The Forum arena on the night.
Singer Katy Perry kicked off the show by landing on stage in a Moon suit and tried to address current events by joking about how "screwed up" the world has been. She raised eyebrows for her freaky costumes and hosting style. Pink, who will also perform, will receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
Standing in the center of the line is Swift seemingly dressed as she was at the 2009 VMAs, when West interrupted her victory speech to decry Beyoncé's loss. Her intergalactic-themed opening monologue was quite a start though for some. Do you have your own theories about who "Look What You Made Me Do" is about?
Willow recently told her, "Mama ..." A pop song catchy as she knows so well, but above all, a personal message sent to his sworn enemy, Kanye West. And my brian went to oh my God you're six, why? You are 6. Why? Also there's something to that "formation" shot I painted out and you haven't seen yet ...
It begins with Swift crawling out of a grave with a tombstone that reads "Here Lies Taylor Swift's Reputation", a signal that the musician who once sang about princesses and true love has taken a darker turn. And I said, "Yes baby?" We take gravel in a shell and we make a pearl, and we help other people to change.
One was a very, very low-cut pink ensemble that she was rocking during most of the show, and as Cardi presented Demi Lovato's performance of "Sorry Not Sorry", she suffered a major nip slip. At the end of the "LWYMMD" video, another Taylor asks, "What are you doing?" to which another one replies, "Getting receipts".
This one's a no-brainer as VMAs keeps up to the tradition of featuring some of the most weird costumes.
She quipped: "Her eyes glazed over".
She wears the flowing blue floor-length gown fans will remember from her Out Of The Woods video clip.
