Taylor Swift took home the top prize at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) for her Anti-Hero music video. The music network’s yearly awards show took place at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

“This is unbelievable. The fact that this is a fan-voted award means so much to me,” Swift said in her acceptance speech. “I can’t believe it was a year ago that I announced the Midnights album.”

The night’s first presenters were from the male musical act NSYNC. They reunited to hand the best pop video award to Swift. Swift received the most nominations of any performer. Swift later returned to the stage to receive the song of the year award for Anti-hero and also the best direction award.

The performer received nine awards in total. Those included artist of the year in a group of nominees made up of women for the first time on the VMA show.

Ice Spice, who worked with Swift on Karma (Remix), won best new artist. New music filled the show with songs from Nicki Minaj who also was the host. Minaj performed the new song Last Time I saw You. She then performed a piece from her upcoming Pink Friday 2 album.

The award show centered on showing music’s international power. K-pop, or Korean pop, boy group Tomorrow X Together and Brazilian artist Anitta introduced a new song together, Back for More.
