The post Taylor Swift Dominated the 2023 MTV VMAs With Nine Wins appeared first on thestarsworldwide.com.
]]>The race for video of the year was pretty tight, but Swift managed to beat tough competition in Doja Cat’s “Attention”, Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers”, Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl”, Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire”, Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ “Unholy”, and SZA’s “Kill Bill”.
She collected several more, mostly technical, awards thanks to “Anti-Hero”, including song of the year, best pop, best direction, best visual effects, best editing, and best cinematography. In total, Swift won nine out of eleven awards she was nominated for, including artist of the year, show of the summer with The Eras Tour, and album of the year with Midnights.
Swift’s success at this year’s MTV VMAs was quite ground-breaking because she took her career total to 23 awards, only two behind Beyoncé. She was also only one award away from equaling Peter Gabriel’s record for most MTV VMAs won in a single year.
The 2023 MTV Video Music took place on September 12 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, with Nicki Minaj serving as the show’s host.

Harry Styles was right behind with three awards, including album of the year for Harry’s House.
MTV Video Music Awards took place on August 28 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Nicki Minaj, who collected this year’s Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, cohosted the show alongside LL Cool J and Jack Harlow.

]]>The post This Year’s MTV VMA Vanguard Award Goes To… appeared first on thestarsworldwide.com.
]]>The award, which was initiated in 1984 and renamed after Michael Jackson in 1991, is considered similar to that of a lifetime achievement award.
Previous winners have included the artist after whom it was named, The Beatles, Madonna, The Rolling Stones, U2, Britney Spears, Beyoncé, and last year’s winner, Pink.
Come the 20th of August, Jenny from the Block will join their ranks, as well as getting loud on stage to rock Radio City Music Hall.
Despite being nominated for 22 VMAs in her time, Miss Lopez has only won twice. Though she can change that this year as her song Dinero has been nominated for Best Latin and Best Collaboration.
“It is amazing, honestly. Growing up on MTV and watching all my idols get this award… To be the recipient this year, I can’t even believe it. I’m so excited,” said Jennifer.
She definitely has our love!
