Swift maintained her global dominance by securing various awards, including Best Song, Best Pop, Best Direction, and the highly coveted Video of the Year award for her chart-topping hit "Anti-Hero."
"This is unbelievable," Swift said as she accepted the night's top prize, which she also took home in 2022. "I just want to say that the fact that this is a fan-voted award means so much to me."
And it was Shakira who scored the night's most prestigious honor for lifetime achievement, the Video Vanguard award that celebrates music video innovations.
The Colombian performer, 46, stole the show as she performed her signature hip swings and pops, singing a bilingual medley including "She Wolf," "Te Felicito," "Objection" "Whenever, Wherever" and "Hips Don't Lie.
Rapper Nicki Minaj hosted the event for the second consecutive year, also debuting live her newest single, "Last Time I Saw You," which is slated for release on her album "Pink Friday 2" in November.
She won the night's award for Best Hip Hop, for "Super Freaky Girl."
