Taylor Swift won big at this year’s VMAs, with the likes of Shakira and Diddy also honoured.
MTV’s Video Music Awards took place last night (Tuesday 12th September) in New Jersey, with the event bringing together some of the biggest talent in the music industry.
Hosted by Nicki Minaj, who also performed, the ceremony saw some amazing acts take to the stage, from Shakira and Diddy, who both performed a medley of their biggest hits and received awards, to Olivia Rodrigo and Karol G. Those who didn’t manage to stay up late to watch live in UK are still in luck, as the event will air this side of the pond too.
Taylor Swift didn’t take to the stage, but she did win big, taking home nine awards in total, including Video of the Year, Artist of the Year and Show of the Summer. Other artists who were celebrated include Måneskin, Doja Cat, Lana Del Rey, SZA and many more.
