ELMONT, NY (CelebrityAccess) – The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) took place Wednesday (September 11) at UBS Arena and was hosted by the ineffable Megan Thee Stallion. The broadcast marked the show’s 40th Anniversary, premiering at Radio City Music Hall on September 14, 1984. The night was full of clips of shows from the past, and Taylor Swift made VMA history.
Fans have been casting their votes for the winners since the nominations were announced in August. Swift walked away with seven trophies, including the evening’s top Video of the Year category for “Fortnight ft. Post Malone.” That makes her the artist with the most solo career VMA wins, surpassing Beyonce and the artist with the most video of the year wins. Billie Eilish, Post Malone, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Eminem and others also took home a moon man.
Katy Perry was presented with the MTV Video Vanguard Award and performed a medley of her hits. Read on to see all the winners at the VMAs (in bold).
