Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, and Taylor Swift have been dropping one smash hit after another all year long, so it doesn’t really come as a surprise to see them topping the list of winners at the MTV VMA Awards with three trophies each.
Swift was the biggest winner of the night after beating the tough competition in the Video of the year category – including both Grande and Eilish. The 7 Rings singer, on the other hand, managed to come out victorious in the Artist of the year category, where she was competing against Cardi B, Billie Eilish, Halsey, Jonas Brothers, and Shawn Mendes.
The list of major winners at this ceremony also included “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus, “Señorita” by Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello, and “Con Altura” by Rosalía, J Balvin and El Guincho with two awards each. Missy Elliott collected the honorary Vanguard Award.
