“This is what real revenge is”: Kanye West Catches Strays While Taylor Swift Creates a Record Even Beyonce Will Struggle to Beat
Years after being interrupted amid her first VMA win by Kanye West, Taylor Swift triumphs by becoming the most-awarded solo artist in VMA history.
Taylor Swift has set yet another milestone with her monumental win at the 2024 MTV VMAs, the event where Kanye West notoriously interrupted her acceptance speech for Best Female Video, insisting that Beyoncé was more deserving, in 2009.
But time has a way of changing things and people. Over a decade later, as the Runaway rapper attempts to recover from a series of career-damaging decisions, Swift has triumphed, becoming the most-awarded solo artist in VMA history.
Taylor Swift recorded a historic win at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, setting a record with 30 “Moon Man” trophies, tying Beyoncé as the top winner in the show’s history.
She also surpassed Beyoncé as a solo artist by winning her 30th VMA. While Beyoncé also has a total of 30 awards, the figure includes collaborations with Destiny’s Child and Jay-Z as The Carters, with 26 of those awards being solo achievements.
Swift also made history by becoming the first artist to win the Video of the Year award five times, with her latest win for Fortnight from The Tortured Poets Department. The singer also became the only artist to win Video of the Year three years in a row.
In her acceptance speech, she shared her gratitude for everyone involved in the making of the music video and gave a special shout-out to her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, for his constant support.
