The MTV Video Music Awards took place last night at UBS Arena in New York. Taylor Swift, the most nominated artist with 12 nods, emerged as the night’s biggest winner for the second year in a row, taking home 7 “Moonmen,” including Video of the Year and Artist of the Year. This achievement made her the most decorated artist in VMAs history, surpassing Beyoncé. Post Malone followed with 5 wins, all for “Fortnight.” Sabrina Carpenter earned her first MTV Video Music Award, as her global hit “Espresso” won Song of the Year. Chappell Roan also celebrated her first win, receiving the well-deserved New Artist of the Year award.
