Taylor Swift sets new record at MTV VMAs

Taylor Swift claimed the top spot at the MTV VMAs by surpassing Beyoncé's record with 30 Moonman statuettes, after securing the inaugural Artist Director Honours. Swift also won Video of the Year, dedicating her win to country legend Dolly Parton and praising her storytelling. The singer debuted the video for her new single "Patient Zero," which features Colin Farrell and Dakota Johnson.

Despite her victory in several categories, Swift fell short in others, with Madonna winning Artist of the Year. Madonna reminisced about her past struggles at the first MTV award show, where her manager scolded her, claiming her career was over. Madonna opened the show with her first performance since that incident, singing "Bring Your Love" with Sabrina Carpenter.

Grunge band Nirvana received the Video Vanguard award, marking the first time a group has won this honor in over 20 years.
