While the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards has ended, the celebrations are far from over.
In fact, after the show is often when most of the night’s nominees and winners really begin to have fun—and there was much to celebrate.
After all the Moon Person trophies were handed out, Taylor Swift emerged as the evening’s big winner, taking home the win in seven categories. (No surprise there, given she was the most-nominated artist heading into the night with 12.)
Adding seven more astronauts to her previous collection of 23, the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” singer also became the solo artist with the highest number of VMAs trophies. Beyoncé is just behind her with 26 individual wins, though she has a total of 30 with collaborative wins with husband Jay Z and Destiny’s Child.
Other big earners of the evening included Post Malone, who emerged victorious in 5 categories for his work on Taylor’s “Fortnight.” Meanwhile, the night’s host Megan Thee Stallion tied with Eminem when she earned two, Best Art Direction for “BOA” and Best Trending Video for “Mamushi.” Eminem ended the night with Best Hip-Hop and Best Visual Effects for “Houdini.”
