In Pictures: MTV VMAs Awards 2023

Pop superstar Taylor Swift dominated MTV’s annual Video Music Awards on Tuesday, adding nine trophies to her collection as she claimed the top prize for her smash hit song “Anti-Hero”.

The first single from Swift’s 2022 “Midnights” album, “Anti-Hero” depicts a litany of insecurities with a chorus declaring: “It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me.”

It was the second straight win for Swift in the video of the year category. Last year, she won the prize for her 10-minute version of breakup song “All Too Well”.

Swift’s nine awards on Tuesday tied the record for the biggest VMA haul in one night, MTV said. Her accolades included song, artist and album of the year, bringing her lifetime VMA total to 23, second only to Beyonce.
