Madonna leads VMAs winners as Swift makes history
Madonna was the biggest winner at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, taking home seven prizes, while Taylor Swift made history as the most-awarded artist in the ceremony's history.
At the 2026 MTV VMAs, Taylor Swift dazzled in a Tamara Ralph silver gown, marking the first time she received the Artist Director Honors. Teyana Taylor donned a Zuhair Murad gown with feathers for a gothic glamour look, while BLACKPINK's Lisa stunned in a red, corseted dress by The Attico. PinkPantheress wowed in a burgundy, ruffled Nina Ricci gown, and Normani rocked a Robert Wun couture gown with liquid-metal and plumes.
Troye Sivan brought theatrical flair in Erdem, while Miles Caton opted for a laid-back KidSuper jacket. Raye made her VMAs debut in a shimmering silver gown by Georges Hobeika, and the evening concluded with Madonna receiving multiple trophies.
