The MTV VMAs 2023 were a successful event compared to the past couple of years. Artists like Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, NSYNC, Selena Gomez, and others Beyoncé, SZA, and Taylor were some of the top contenders for the awards. Taylor Swift was nominated in 11 categories, and the songstress took home nine trophies.
Apart from the accolades and wins, one of the best highlights of the night was Taylor Swift’s just being supportive of every artist’s win. She was hanging with her BFF Selena Gomez, and Taylor danced with her recent collaborator, Ice Spice. The ‘folklore’ also danced her heart out. However, while she was being carefree, Taylor Swift lost her $12,000 ring’s diamond.

Taylor Swift was bejeweled at the 2023 MTV VMAs. Swift wore a comfortable fit, unlike last year’s Oscar de la Renta diamond piece. She opted for an asymmetrical Versace gown with shining accessories. Reportedly, Taylor Swift wore jewelry worth $160,000, which included Joseph Saidan & Sons’ Van Cleef & Arpels ring’s diamond, which was worth $12,000.
In a video, Taylor Swift was seen distressed while she spoke to a staff member to inquire about the diamond. She even bent down to search for it, but she did not find it. Finally, when she went to the stage to collect the ‘Video of the Year’ award for ‘Anti-Hero,’ the ring was nowhere to be seen on her finger.

Swift is the only artist in VMA history to win ‘Video of the Year’ three times.
During Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech, she said, “I love making pop music, I love making pop music videos, I also love making country, and I love slinking around different genres, and the only reason I’m allowed to do that is because you, the fans, gave me the opportunity to do this.”
Taylor continued, “One big adventure, and it’s all so much to challenge myself to make music that’s different than what I made last, and I just love you for it. But I really love making pop music, so thank you so, so, so much.”
