It must be exhausting rooting for anyone other than Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards, as the pop superstar just keeps dominating.
Swift cleaned up at Wednesday's VMAs, taking home the most statues with seven and breaking the record for most wins for any solo artist in history with 30.
The night was bookended by major wins for the singer, starting with her taking the best collaboration award for "Fortnight," the "Tortured Poets Department" track featuring Post Malone. Malone joined Swift on stage, and she honored him as "everyone in music's favorite person" to work with.
At the end of the evening, Swift received the top prize of video of the year for "Fortnight." She holds the record for most wins in that category with five, including three consecutive victories since 2022, for "Bad Blood," "You Need to Calm Down," "All Too Well," "Anti-Hero" and "Fortnight."

Did Taylor Swift announce 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)' at the VMAs?
Swifties prone to a bit of clowning were on the edge of their seats waiting for the singer to drop an announcement on stage — possibly the long-awaited release date of "Reputation (Taylor's Version)." But Swift did not announce "Reputation," or anything else for that matter, so the wait for her next re-recorded album continues.
The theories that she might drop news weren't too unrealistic, though, considering Swift's last two albums of fully new material were both announced at awards shows: "The Tortured Poets Department" at the 2024 Grammys and "Midnights" at the 2022 VMAs. The singer received some backlash for the "Tortured Poets" announcement at the Grammys, with some critics arguing she was upstaging the other artists and their wins that night.

Still, Swift did give fans something to latch onto in her last speech of the evening with a nod to her boyfriend Travis Kelce, which blew the roof off the UBS Arena on Long Island and had fans screeching with excitement.
"When I would finish a take and I'd say cut, and we'd be done with that take, I would always hear someone cheering and (saying) 'woo!'' from across the studio, where we were shooting it," Swift said. "And that one person was my boyfriend, Travis. Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic."
