Taylor Swift sets new record at MTV VMAs

Taylor Swift achieved a new milestone at the MTV Video Music Awards, becoming the most awarded artist with 30 Moonman statuettes. She tied Beyoncé for the highest number of awards but won the tiebreaker in the inaugural Artist Director Honours category for her contribution to visual storytelling. Swift dedicated her Video of the Year prize to country legend Dolly Parton, praising Parton's storytelling and music.

The pop star also premiered the video for her new single "Patient Zero," starring Colin Farrell and Dakota Johnson. Swift, however, did not win the Artist of the Year award, which went to Madonna. Madonna, known for her memorable performances at the VMAs, opened the ceremony with her first appearance since 2003, performing alongside Sabrina Carpenter.

Nirvana received the Video Vanguard award, marking the first time a band received the top honor in over 20 years.
