Taylor Swift [1] was spotted looking smiley as she geared up for a workout in NYC on Friday. The singer smirked for cameras on her way down the street, sporting a sleek black tank, cutout leggings [2], and bright orange Nikes [3]. While Taylor may have been heading to the gym, one place she won't be going this weekend is the MTV VMAs [4]; according to multiple sources, Taylor is skipping the big event on Sunday [5] and was "never planning" to attend. It may not be in her best interest, anyway — she didn't nab any nominations this year, and she likely wants to avoid any potential drama with Kanye West [6], Kim Kardashian [7], and her ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris, who is up for best collaboration thanks to the hit "This Is What You Came For" (which we now know that Taylor helped write [8]). Luckily for Taylor, she can watch the show from a safe distance in the incredible West Village, NYC, carriage house [9] she's currently renting for $40,000 a month.
