Taylor Swift had a history-making moment at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards!
The singer broke the record for Video of the Year Award wins as she won the category for the fourth time with “Anti-Hero.”
As she accepted the award, she told the crowd, “This is unbelievable. The fact that this is a fan-voted award means so much to me. It's really felt like the adventure of a lifetime this past year. I cannot believe that it was a year ago at the VMAs that I announced the 'Midnights' album. All I have to say tonight is thank you."
Taylor was also the biggest winner of the night, nabbing Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, and others for a total of nine trophies.

Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick were introduced by host Nicki Minaj, who noted that it was the first time they were all together in “almost a decade.”
