Toronto’s ultimate summer music party took place last night outside the streets of MuchMusic’s Queen Street headquarters. As the A-listers made their way down the red carpet, hundreds of fans greeted and snapped pictures of their favourite actors, artists and South Korean sensation Psy, who made his first Canadian appearance as MMVA co-host.

In her first MMVA appearance, Taylor Swift played the bombshell in a form fitting white mini-dress with black striped details by Herve Leger and Christian Louboutin black gladiator sandals as she picked up the award for favourite international artist. T-Swift accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz and Ofira jewellery as well as her signature red pout, smoky eyes and effortlessly tousled beach waves.

Also sporting smoky eyes was MMVA co-host, Demi Lovato, who took home international video of the year for “Heart Attack.” Trying out an uncharacteristically edgy look (and quite well, we might add!), the singer wore a little black dress with zipper detail and black pumps both by Saint Laurent.

As Toronto gears up for the 2013 MuchMusic Video Awards and its onslaught on A-list attendees (Demi Lovato! Taylor Swift! Psy!), we can’t help but want to get in on the party.

Yet when asked which track reveals the most about her, Gomez ditches the hearts and flowers and goes right for the jugular. “‘Bang Bang Bang’ is probably the most personal,” she says, referring to a snarky kiss-off anthem directed toward an ex, in which she coos put-downs like, “My new boy used to be a model…he looks way better than you” and “When I’m out having fun, you’re gonna be the one that’s broken.”

Year after year, music’s most passionate fans tune in to the MuchMusic Video Awards, the most intimate and out-of-control awards show around where anything and everything goes. The 2011 MMVAs exceeded all expectations, with not one but two performances by priestess of pop Lady Gaga, five outfit changes by co-host Selena Gomez, a surprise tag-team appearance by Canada’s sweethearts Drake and Justin Bieber, and a slew of super-high-energy performances.

Backstage the performers, presenters and VIPs mingled. Vampire Diaries’ Nina Dobrev told us that the first thing she does when she returns to Toronto, her hometown, is eat street meat, with “lots of ketchup.” Presenter Cassie Scerbo of Make It or Break It found herself star struck, but luckily, she had her mom in tow to keep her focused. Performers and Pop Video of the Year winners Down With Webster wandered the lounge in matching mechanics’ jumpsuits embellished with strips of LED lights, crediting the Beastie Boys as their sartorial inspiration.
