Swift, the most-nominated artist ever, ended the evening by surpassing Beyoncé’s record set as a solo artist, winning her 30th award. Beyoncé has won 25 VMAs as a solo artist, two with Destiny’s Child and two with Jay-Z as the Carters.

Accepting the first of seven wins on Wednesday – best collaboration with Post Malone for their duet, Fortnight – the 34-year-old singer opened the evening by acknowledging the anniversary of 9/11. She said: ‘Waking up this morning in New York on September 11, I’ve just been thinking about what happened 23 years ago. Everyone who lost a loved one and everyone that we lost … that is the most important thing today.’

Though Eminem opened the show with an army of Slim Shady doppelgangers – evoking his 2000 VMA performance – the 2024 awards belonged to women, with an international cast of female artists dominating the airtime
