Taylor Swift is in her repeat win period.

Swifties have spoken, granting the chairwoman of The Tortured Poets Division her second straight Artist of the 12 months honor on the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 11, making her the primary performer to win that exact fan-driven Moonman twice.

And he or she did not do it both time with a damaged coronary heart (although her boyfriend of greater than a 12 months Travis Kelce had a recreation to organize for and needed to fly again to Kansas Metropolis after their whirlwind romantic weekend in New York).

Add that to the six different awards her work collected tonight, and that makes 30 profession VMAs for Swift, who led the sphere with 12 nominations heading into the occasion. She tied Beyonce‘s general file for VMA wins and surpassed the Renaissance performer’s 26 wins as a solo artist.

Earlier than the televised portion of the present kicked off, Taylor has already gained Music of Summer season for “Fortnight,” her Tortured Poets jam with Put up Malone, they usually have been introduced with Finest Collaboration on the high of the telecast. (See the whole record of winners from the 2024 VMAs right here.)

Realizing the way to make an entrance, she shut down the carpet near showtime in her punk-inspired yellow and black high-low plaid costume by Dior, accessorized with tall black boots and fierce woven leather-based gauntlets.
