MTV Video Music Awards 2024: Full list of winners

Taylor Swift's dominance continued at the MTV Video Music Awards, where she took home seven awards - including the night's biggest, the trophy for video of the year.

In her speech Wednesday night, Swift thanked her "boyfriend, Travis" for being on set of the "Fortnight" music video and cheering her on. Fans rewarded the mention of NFL star Travis Kelce with loud screams.

Swift's awards haul brings her to a career total of 30, tying her and Beyonce for the title of most-awarded musician in VMA history. Eminem is now the male artist with the most VMAs, at 14.

Chappell Roan won the MTV Video Music Award for best new artist.

"I dedicate this to all the drag artists who inspire me," she said in her speech, while wearing chain mail, reading from a written speech in her diary. "And I dedicate this to queer and trans people who run pop. ... Thank you for listening."

One of the biggest voices of 2024 pop, Sabrina Carpenter, won the trophy for song of the year for "Espresso."

"This is really special," she said in her speech, dedicated to her fans. "And thank you to that me-espresso."

Katy Perry received the Video Vanguard Award, performing an eight-song medley spanning her career: "Roar," "E.T.," "California Gurls," "Teenage Dream," "I Kissed a Girl," "Firework," and "Lifetimes."

"I did that all on the first day of my period, can you believe it?" she joked after accepting the honor from her partner, Orlando Bloom. "There are so many things that have to align to have a long and successful career as an artist. There are no decade long accidents."

She also teased a new song, "I'm His, He's Mine," featuring Doechii, which samples the Crystal Waters classic, "Gypsy Woman (La Da Dee La Da Da)."

The 40th VMAs were held at the UBS Arena on New York's Long Island.

The night was stacked with celebrities and featured plenty of Swift, who arrived at the award show wearing a green tartan corset with a matching train and long black leather gloves.

Throughout the night, MTV flashed back to history-making across the VMAs' 40-year-run, including Britney Spears' albino python and Madonna's performance of "Like A Virgin."
