2024 MTV VMAs: Taylor Swift Makes History With Artist of the Year Win

Watch: 2024 VMAs: Taylor Swift Gushes Over Travis Kelce During Video of the Year Acceptance Speech!

Taylor Swift is in her repeat win era.

Swifties have spoken, granting the chairwoman of The Tortured Poets Department her second straight Artist of the Year honor at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 11, making her the first performer to win that particular fan-driven Moonman twice.

And she didn’t do it either time with a broken heart (though her boyfriend of more than a year Travis Kelce had a game to prepare for and had to fly back to Kansas City after their whirlwind romantic weekend in New York).

Add that to the six other awards her work collected tonight, and that makes 30 career VMAs for Swift, who led the field with 12 nominations heading into the event. She tied Beyonce‘s overall record for VMA wins and surpassed the Renaissance performer’s 26 wins as a solo artist.

Before the televised portion of the show kicked off, Taylor has already won Song of Summer for “Fortnight,” her Tortured Poets jam with Post Malone, and they were presented with Best Collaboration at the top of the telecast. (See the complete list of winners from the 2024 VMAs here.)

Knowing how to make an entrance, she shut down the carpet close to showtime in her punk-inspired yellow and black high-low plaid dress by Dior, accessorized with tall black boots and fierce woven leather gauntlets.
