Taylor Swift made a triumphant return to the VMA stage on Sunday night with a new ballad, which may or may not be directed at Kanye West, off her forthcoming October release, Speak Now. Dressed in a strapless, beige dress, Swift spilled her guts and forgave someone for wronging her in the past.

This wasn't Swift's first time at the VMA rodeo, though. Her beginnings trace all the way back to 2008, when she was nominated for Best New Artist for her unrequited love ballad "Teardrops on My Guitar." And while Swift wouldn't end up taking home a Moonman that year, she did get the honor of being a co-host at the pre-show, and went public with her then beau, Joe Jonas.

Swift had a pretty easygoing 2008 VMAs compared to what went down the following year. In 2009, she hit the carpet in a stunning, Grecian-draped silver-sparkled dress and won Best Female Video. We all know how that turned out, but she didn't let it get her down. Mere minutes after accepting the award, she performed her winning song, "You Belong With Me." Decked out in a hot red dress, exuberantly belting out her hit in a moving subway and on top of a taxi cab in the middle of Manhattan, Swift stood outside the Radio City Music Hall and almost made everyone forget about what happened earlier that night.

That brings us to the 2010 VMAs, when Swift once again hit the stage. This time Swift, who was up for Best Female Video again, played her captivating new tune, which still has no official title. In it she sings, "I guess you really did it this time/ Left yourself in your war path/ Lost your balance on a tightrope/ Lost your mind trying to get it back." While many had hoped West and Swift would take the stage together, it wasn't to be. Well, there's always the 2011 VMAs.

The Moonmen have all been handed out and the stars have gone home, but there's plenty of 2010 MTV Video Music Awards news, interviews, behind-the-scenes scoop, party reports and more still to come, so keep it locked on MTVNews.com.
