NEWARK, NJ (CelebrityAccess) — Taylor Swift dominated the MTV Video Music Awards on Tuesday night, taking home the moon man in multiple categories, including Artist and Video of the Year.
In total, Swift won nine awards during the awards gala this year, and is now just behind Beyoncé in the most career VMA wins.
Other winners for the night included the show’s host, Nicki Minaj, who won the trophy for best hip hop for her video “Super Freaky Girl” and SZA, whose video for her hit “Shirt” won the award for best R&B for 2023.
Shakira made history when she became the first South American artist to win a Video Vanguard Award, which recognized an artist’s contributions and impact on music video and pop culture.
Rising drill rap icon Ice Spice was recognized as the VMAs’ best new artist for 2023, following her breakthrough year in 2022 and the release of her debut EP “Like…?” earlier this year.
The awards show, which took place at the Prudential Center in New Jersey this year, was hosted for the second year in a row by Nicki Minaj.
