The 2025 MTV Video Music Awards were a riot.

But millions of music fans were left wondering, Why wasn’t Taylor in attendance?

Obviously, Taylor is the biggest thing in music at the moment — and it’s not especially close.

By any metric, she’s the most popular artist on the planet, and she’s had a number of historic VMA moments over the years.

This time around, Taylor is up for Artist of the Year alongside Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, Morgan Wallen, and The Weeknd.

So why wasn’t Tay on hand to accept the biggest award of the night if she wins?

No, Taylor was not be in attendance at tonight’s show

Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that Taylor sat this one out.

After all, she’s had a very busy couple of weeks.

Just last month, Taylor announced her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl.

Shortly thereafter, the world learned that Taylor had gotten engaged to Travis Kelce after two years of dating.

Of course, the wedding planning process might have to wait a few months, as Kelce just began what might be his final season with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaking of Travis, he had a bit of a rocky week, as the Chiefs lost their season opener to the Los Angeles Chargers, and Kelce took a slap to the face from Chargers defensive tackle Teair Tart.

So yeah, Tay’s got a lot going on at the moment.

It makes sense that she opted to spend a quiet Sunday night at home.

At least Swifties can take solace in the fact that Taylor’s latest protege, Sabrina Carpenter performed tonight!

For quite some time now, Jelly Roll has been sharing updates on his weight loss journey.

And the country crooner revealed this week that he’s reached a major milestone.

In an interview with ESPN’s Pat McAfee, Mr. Roll revealed that he’s dropped a full 200 pounds!

Jelly Roll shares astonishing weight loss update

“I started at 540 pounds, and I was 357 pounds this morning,” the singer told McAfee during the Big Night AHT live show (per Us Weekly).

Jelly Roll added that he’s far from finished — and he has big plans for his future.

“I’m gonna lose another 100 pounds and go skydiving with my wife in Sweden,” he told McAfee.

Obviously, that sort of weight loss deserves praise no matter the methods one uses.

But Jelly Roll’s weight loss is made all the more impressive by the fact that he started making progress long before the age of Ozempic.

Jelly Roll’s impressive progress

Jelly Roll has been sharing updates with fans for nearly two years now. And each is more impressive than the last.

“I’m probably down 70-something pounds. I’ve been really kicking [butt], man,” he told People magazine in April 2024.

And while some newly trimmed-down celebs might prefer to keep their secrets to themselves, Jelly has been happy to fill fans in on his weight loss strategy.

“I’m doing two to three miles a day, four to six days a week. I’m doing 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, six minutes in a cold plunge every day,” he told People.

The 40-year-old explained that he was feeling “really good” at the time — but that he had no intention of stopping there.

“If I feel this good down this weight, man, I can only imagine what I’m going to feel like by the time I go on tour,” he explained.

Clearly, Jelly has no intention of resting on his laurels and priding himself on how far he’s come.

“I couldn’t walk a mile when I started trying to do this back in January,” he told Entertainment Tonight in May 2024. “So the fact that we got 3-point-whatever it was, got it down, I felt really, really good about it.”

We have no doubt that Jelly Roll will be skydiving in Sweden in no time!
