The Punisher Star John Travolta Mistook Drag Race Contestant for Taylor Swift at Video Music Awards

The 2019 MTV Video Music Awards was filled with memorable moments and big-time musical performances, but as always with award shows there were plenty of smaller moments to take note of during the presentation of the awards themselves. This year that category includes actor John Travolta, who took the stage to present an award for Video of the Year. The winner of that award ended up being Taylor Swift for her You Need to Calm Down video, and she brought several people in the video up to the stage with her when she was called out as the winner, and that led to one of the noteworthy moments of the night.

Several people took the stage alongside Swift, including drag queen Jade Jolie. Jolie ended up getting to the stage earlier than Swift, and Travolta can be seen presenting her with the Moon Man award before realizing it wasn't Swift. That moment has been captured in the GIF below, and you can check it out right here.

Taylor Swift took home two awards last night, including Video of the Year and Video For Good, and you can see a sample of some of the other winners below.
