The ceremony, hosted by Megan Thee Stallion, was a significant one for the three artists. Carpenter won Song of the Year for her hit "Espresso," and Swift took home seven awards, tying her with Beyoncé for the most VMAs. 

Swift's awards included Video of the Year and Best Collaboration for "Fortnight," which she shared with Post Malone. Swift praised Malone during her acceptance speech for Best Collaboration, highlighting his talent and humility.
