Taylor Swift Dominates MTV VMAs: Seven Awards and a Special Shoutout
Taylor Swift’s reign over the music world continues, as she took home seven awards at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, including the highly-coveted Video of the Year trophy. The evening wasn’t just about the wins, though—it was filled with surprises, shoutouts, and a hint of political activism.
During her acceptance speech, Taylor surprised everyone by thanking her “boyfriend, Travis” for being on set during the filming of the “Fortnight” music video. NFL fans instantly recognized the name as Travis Kelce, and the crowd erupted in cheers. Swift didn’t hold back her admiration, saying, “Everything this man touches turns to happiness, fun, and magic.” It seems like their rumored romance is very much confirmed, and fans are absolutely living for it.
But Taylor wasn’t done. In true Swiftie fashion, she pivoted to a serious message for her audience. With the 2024 presidential election looming, Taylor urged her fans who are 18 and older to register to vote. Swift’s influence goes far beyond music, and this isn’t the first time she’s used her platform to encourage political action.
One of the night’s other highlights was Swift’s win for Best Collaboration, thanks to her work with Post Malone on *The Tortured Poets Department* hit single “Fortnight.” The two superstars took the stage together, radiating good vibes and mutual respect. Taylor gushed about Malone, calling him “ridiculously talented, versatile, and the most down-to-earth person,” while poking fun at his tendency to address her as “ma’am.” Their chemistry was undeniable, and Post Malone, ever humble, was left almost speechless, eventually saying, “Taylor is… an absolute loss for words. One of the most kind and talented people I’ve ever had the honor of knowing.”
Swift’s shoutout to Malone’s polite nature had fans laughing, especially after months of teasing behind-the-scenes moments from the making of the “Fortnight” video. In one of those clips, Post repeatedly calls Swift “ma’am,” while taking in her directorial vision. It’s clear their dynamic is more than just professional—they genuinely respect and admire each other.
As for the 34-year-old pop sensation, her MTV VMA wins brought her total to a mind-blowing 30 career awards. Taylor Swift’s dominance in the industry isn’t slowing down anytime soon. With her musical evolution and knack for creating viral moments, she continues to be the moment in pop culture.
