The 2024 MTV Video Music Award Winners

Before the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards air on September 11, the losers were already decided: French fans of Chappell Roan who didn’t get to see her perform because she was in rehearsals. The real winners? The rest of us. Hosted by Houston hottie Megan Thee Stallion, Taylor Swift enters the night with the most nominations — ten for her “Fortnight� video — dragging Post Malone along by association with nine since he’s a featured player on the track.

Taylor Swift became the most-awarded artist in VMAs history halfway through the night, even before winning Video of the Year. Closing out the night, Swift was enveloped in chants of “Taylor! Taylor!� Taylor, Taylor, indeed. She thanked boyfriend Travis Kelce for applauding her after every take while filming “Fortnight.� Below, the 2024 MTV VMA winners, updated live throughout the night.
