The 2023 MTV Video Music Awards<\/a> took place on September 12, and to say they were a night of history-making moments would be an understatement.<\/p>\n

Taylor Swift swept this year’s VMAs and Shakira became the first South American artist to win the Video Vanguard Award.<\/p>\n

The Eras World Tour star<\/a> took home nine awards, including Video of the Year and Song of the Year for “Anti-Hero,” as well as Artist of the Year. Swift’s enormous wins tied her for the most wins in one night, and now ranks her second in the most overall wins.<\/p>\n

The 2023 VMAs also featured a number of memorable moments<\/a>, including a surprise reunion of *NSYNC, who presented Swift with the Best Pop Video award. There was also a performance by K-pop group Stray Kids, who made their VMA debut, and Lil Wayne, who opened the show with a performance of hit songs, including\u00a0“Uproar” and his new single “Kat Food.”<\/p>\n

Overall, the 2023 MTV VMAs were a night of celebration for both music and culture<\/a>. Taylor Swift’s historic win was a testament to her continued dominance in the music industry, and Shakira’s performance marks a reminder of her global influence, that doesn’t look to be stopping anytime soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":42686,"featured_media":80498,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[38,16],"yoast_head":"\n2023 VMA Winners: Taylor Swift, Shakira, more<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Taylor Swift won nine awards at the 2023 MTV VMAs, including Video of the Year, Song of the Year, and Artist of the Year.
