This is tremendously Extra. And given that Taylor has been very much into Thoughtful Dressing lately -- to wit, her summer excursions that made multiple snake references that could only be targeted at Kim and Kanye -- then I find it potentially pointed that she's wearing something by Balmain, a designer once favored by Kimmy and her brethren. Please note, I am not saying she hasn’t worn Balmain before. I am just aware that nothing Tay does is by accident, and riffing on why she might have picked it now. Other than liking it, obviously, although that is enough.

Her head does look really good. The frosty makeup and smoky eyes are done well, and the giant earrings pick up the squares in her dress. I approve, Taylor.

This, however, is a whole bag of nuts. Is that a rendering of.... I was going to say Vegas, but I don't know what landmark that is, if so. It's DEFINITELY some kind of skyline. The pockets really jack with that. She still has somehow taken command of this thing, but it's a jumble.

Ashlee Simpson looks perfectly nice but if you told me her name was, like, Laycee Loren, and that she is country's newest crooner for a band called Red Hot Panhandle, I'd have bought it.

Oh, Bebe. This is so Dynasty. And I don't even mind, but it makes me wish you'd gone with a really BIG platinum wig. For effect, but also because I don't know if the very short curly 'do quite suits. It's very aging.

That's pretty. I particularly like that the gold is like an artist's rendering of swelling and pain creeping across a pregnant lady's foot veins -- or, say, those of a blogger lady who sits too much.

2018 American Music Awards - Arrivals, Los Angeles, USA - 09 Oct 2018
We are at the point where I need to accept that she is no longer 12. Twelve would have been a weird age for her to be wearing a cocktail dress hot off the Pamella Roland runway, but 14 seems... okay, still crazy to my sad crone brain, but somehow slightly less jarring. But it's a WHOLE LOT of dress.

Oh nooooo. FLESH PANELS. I am going to write a horror novel called FLESH PANELS, by the way.

Sibley is an E! News correspondent. Do we think she was there for work? It feels... SURPRISING... to show up at an event where you have to work, in a garment that is also doing so much of it.

Tyra looks like she's welcoming everyone to a tram that's taking them straight to the stage.
