At last night’s MuchMusic Video Awards both Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato went thigh high.

Often seen in elegant gowns on the red carpet, Taylor Swift blew us away in last night’s decidedly sexy ensemble. Showing off her body (and her legs!), T-Swift wore a Herve Leger white mini bandage dress with black piping details. The songstress accessorized her ensemble with minimal amount of jewellery by Lorraine Schwartz and Ofira, as well as a pair of black gladiator sandals by Christian Louboutin. To complete her sultry look, this MMVA winner kept her hair down in natural beach waves with smoky eyes and statement red lips.

From florals to crop tops, the ladies on the red carpet at last night’s MMVA awards showed they know a thing or two about this summer’s trends. The oh-so-pretty co-stars of Pretty Little Liars, Lucy Hale and Shay Mitchell, were no exception, opting for summer-ready minis, edgy metallic accessories and short hemlines.

Lucy Hale tweeted her enthusiasm before the night’s event: “Suuuuper excited for MMVAs tonight!!” On the red carpet the actress looked lovely in white with a classy A-line Amen mini dress that she paired with metallic fuchsia heels for the ultimate pop of colour. To accessorize her sophisticated look, Hale chose an on-trend transparent clutch and minimal jewellery. Hale, whose new post as beauty ambassador for Mark is sure to warrant a perk or two in the makeup department, dazzled with perfectly rosy cheeks and a glossy pink pout. She rocked a sultry smoky eye, which balanced out the rest of her girly look.

With just three days left until the MuchMusic Video Awards, the Canadian music network dropped a bombshell today: fan favourite Selena Gomez—who was the MMVA host last year—will be returning to this year’s awards show as a presenter.

This Sunday, all eyes will be on the 2011 MuchMusic Video Awards, the channel’s annual celebration of a year in music, videos and, of course, its stars! If the stellar lineup—including Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, Avril Lavgine and Vampire Diaries’ Nina Dobrev—is any indication, this year’s show is certain to kill it. While we’ll have to wait until the night of to see what the stars are wearing, we had a little something to do with what host Lauren Toyota will be donning. Toyota stopped by our offices earlier this week to play dress-up, enlisting the help of market editor Jordan Porter and while we’re mum’s the word about her final selection, join us in the closet to check out the session of dress up!

The 2011 MuchMusic Video Awards air on Sunday, June 19th at 9 P.M. EST

Taylor Swift, Speak Now

I’m going to tell you a secret: I’ve never written a song about a boy that I loved. Poems? Sure. But set to music takes those words to a whole other level.  One of my favorite quotes about music–from the movie High Fidelity, which by the way has a great soundtrack–asks: Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music? The truth is neither are probably true but it’s undeniable that most of us listen to love songs because we’re either in it or out of it. The lovely, beautiful and talented Taylor Swift is no stranger to this notion and has most definitely found success with that very truth. Her latest album, Speak Now, dropped last month, making it two years since her phenomenally popular Fearless. Since then she has continued to date some of the world’s most famous men including that Jonas brother and, reportedly, John Mayer and Jake Gyllenhaal. Impressive I must say. But the question is after all this public romance does she remain fearless about love?  I guess we’ll have to listen to the album to hear the details.

Also, Miss Swift is gracing the cover of the Winter issue FASHION Magazine, so check out her exclusive interview there and also a replay of her recent Live@Much at muchmusic.com .

Sweetest love song: “Mine”

My closest friends know that every time the seasons change I become a little extra romantic, nostalgic and dreamy while inevitably proclaiming the upcoming season to be my favorite of all time. I’m unaffected by their long eye rolls and I usually take comfort in the current musical soundtrack of my life in those moments. They always seem to punctuate my thoughts and emotions in a much more beautiful and graceful way than whatever reality could ever deliver.
