2024 VMAs Recap: Taylor Swift’s Sweet Shoutout, Katy Perry’s Big Night & MORE Must See Moments!
Jack Antonoff is tuning out the noise, literally.
The Bleachers singer and music producer set the record straight after he was seen putting what was assumed to be airpods in his ears during Katy Perry’s Video Vanguard performance at the 2024 MTV VMAs on Sept. 11.
“I would like to tell you directly from me that I did in fact use earplugs the other night,” Taylor Swift’s longtime collaborator wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Sept. 12. “They were blue ‘hearos’ brand and I’m mortified to admit that I’ve been using them for a long time as well as buying them in bulk.”
The 40-year-old decided to poke fun at those who dissected the moment online, which was caught on camera. Noting that he uses the earplugs on planes and every night when going to bed, Antonoff quipped, “There is nothing left to do but apologize and thank those who have covered this story because although it’s an embarrassment to my family and I, I do believe that this was a very important and pressing issue that needed to be exposed.”
