Taylor Swift pometla s konkurenco in se zapisala v zgodovino

Taylor Swift se je na MTV-jevi podelitvi VMA vpisala v zgodovino kot glasbenica, ki je štirikrat osvojila nagrado za najboljši videospot leta. Letos jo je prejela za pesem Anti-Hero, prejšnja leta pa za pesmi All Too Well: The Short Film, Bad Blood in You Need to Calm Down. Poleg glavne nagrade je domov odnesla še nagrado za pesem leta, umetnico leta, najboljšo pop pesem, najboljšo režijo, najboljšo kinematografijo, najboljše vizualne učinke, najboljši nastop poletja in najboljši album leta (Midnights). Nominirana je bila za 11 nagrad, pri čemer domov ni odnesla le dveh; za najboljšo montažo in za najboljšo pesem poletja.

Zvezda večera je bila tudi Shakira, ki je prejela častno nagrado Video Vanguard za njen izjemen prispevek in vpliv na glasbene videospote ter popularno kulturo. Ob tem je priredila kar 10-minutni nastop, v katerem je nizala svoje uspešnice, kot sta Whenever, Wherever in Hips Don't Lie. Na MTV VMA odru je nastopila prvič po 17 letih, ob prejetju nagrade pa dejala: "Hvala, MTV, ker si bil tako velik del moje kariere že od mojega 18. leta naprej." Nato se je zahvalila še svojima dvema sinovoma Milanu in Sashi: "Hvala, ker sta zame navijala in mi dala občutek, da je mama sposobna vsega."
