Taylor Swift made headlines at the MTV Video Music Awards, winning seven awards and tying with Beyoncé as the most awarded artist in VMA history. During her acceptance speech for Video of the Year for 'Fortnight,' Swift thanked her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, for his support on set, which elicited loud cheers from the audience. Swift also used her platform to encourage fans to register to vote for the 2024 presidential election. Her political engagement continued from the previous day, where her endorsement of Kamala Harris led to a significant increase in visits to the voter registration website, vote.gov. The night was also marked by performances from various artists, although some critics felt the event lacked memorable moments.
