Taylor Swift VMA appearance didn’t come cheap…

A swift look at some of the costs involved in Taylor’s VMA appearance…

Taylor Swift is hitting the headlines after she made VMA history last night: becoming the first artist ever to win Video of the Year THREE times, announcing her new album Midnights, and of course, slaying in her bejewelled red-carpet look.  

Taylor’s opulent Oscar de la Renta gown costs a whopping £23k, but the dazzling dress wasn’t the only thing catching eyes. Naturally, Taylor’s ears were dripping in diamonds to match and Kyron Keogh, MD and Co-founder of luxury British jeweller ROX, estimated them to cost £1.5 MILLION.    

Kyron Keogh, MD and Co-founder of ROX:

“Taylor’s pear cut diamond earrings look like they could be 9 carats suspended from 2.5-carat brilliant cut studs in both ears – totalling 23 carats. I would estimate that with a superior quality of diamond, Taylor’s earrings are worth around £1.5 million! 

“Her opulent look is a popular one at the moment: Google trend data has shown that searches for ‘drop diamond earrings’ has risen 76% in just this past week, and we’ve had more enquiries from consumers about this stone than ever before.”
