The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) put on an eventful show that had everything from Taylor Swift paying her respects to New York on the 23rd anniversary of 9/11 to host Megan Thee Stallion recreating Britney Spears’ “Slave 4 U” outfit.

Swift was the night’s big winner, taking home seven awards to become the most-awarded solo artist in the event’s history.

Sabrina Carpenter also went home happy, winning Song of the Year for “Espresso” shortly after making out with an alien.

Going into the night, Swift had led the nominations pack with 10 nods. Meanwhile, 29 artists, including eventual Best New Artist winner Chappell Roan, became first-time nominees.

Here are all tonight’s winners:
