The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards are in the history books now. In case you missed them, this article will cover the full list of VMA winners. Taylor Swift dominated this year’s list, bringing her overall number of wins in her career to 30; by doing so, she set a new record for the most wins by an artist in their career.
Songs from Swift’s double album The Tortured Poets Department, which was released in April, featured 31 tracks of her signature introspective storytelling and secured the artist wins in the Song of the Summer, Video of the Year, and Artist of the Year categories. Swift, of course, wasn’t the only artist to take home awards from the show; the full list of winners appears below.

Notable Moments At Past And Present VMAs
This was far from Swift’s first memorable VMAs, although she’d likely agree that last night’s events were memorable for far more enjoyable reasons. At the 2009 VMAs, Kanye West interrupted one of Swift’s acceptance speeches to insist that Beyoncé was more deserving of the award Swift had received. Other VMAs have also had other notable events occur, including Britney Spears’ iconic performance with a live python and Madonna’s shocking performance of her song “Like a Virgin” at the first-ever VMAs.
Last night’s VMAs also saw Katy Perry receive the Video Vanguard Award in recognition of her career. Perry performed a medley of her iconic hits like “I Kissed a Girl” and “Firework” and shared a heartfelt acceptance speech thanking her fans, the LGBTQ+ community, and her family. She also acknowledged husband Orlando Bloom and their daughter Daisy.
Final Thoughts
In 1984, MTV first hosted the Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City to recognize the increasingly popular art form of music videos. Since then, the night has showcased talented performances and shocking displays of entertainment. Artists often express pride in being VMA winners, and VMAs are now considered to be among the music industry’s most coveted awards alongside the Grammys and CMAs.
