Taylor Swift wins the most awards at 2023 VMAs including Video of the Year
Another music award show, another handful of trophies for Taylor Swift.
The pop superstar was the biggest winner at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. She went into the night with the most nominations, and left with nine wins including artist of the year, best pop, song of the year and video of the year.
Tuesday's wins made her the second-most awarded artist in the show's history. She's also tied for the most wins in one night.
It was the second year in a row she took home the night's top prize, having won Video of the Year for “All Too Well” (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version).
“This is unbelievable. The fact that this is a fan-voted award means so much to me,” Swift said in her acceptance speech. “It's really felt like the adventure of a lifetime this past year. I cannot believe that it was a year ago at the VMAs that I announced the 'Midnights' album. All I have to say tonight is thank you."
The pop star earned her 15th Moon Person trophy after winning the best pop award early in the broadcast. NSYNC presented the award making Swift visibly excited as she accepted.
"I had your dolls," Swift told the former members of the five-man group. "You’re pop personified."
The singer later won the song of the year award nominated alongside SZA's "Kill Bill" and Miley Cyrus' "Flowers." Marking her 16th win, she thanked longtime producer and close friend Jack Antonoff for their first collaboration together "1989." Swift is set to release the rerecorded version of the album on Oct. 27, exactly nine years since the original reached fans.
