US singer Taylor Swift accepts the Video of the Year award for"Fortnight" on stage during the MTV Video Music Awards at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, on September 11, 2024. She wore a full suit of armor as she took the stage with a fiery crossbow to channel Joan of Arc in her performance of"Good Luck, Babe!" set in front of a flaming castle.
"The global impact that 'Water' had on the world just proved that African music can be pop music too," she said to wild applause."Like this is just so special but also bittersweet, because I know there's a tendency to group all African artists under Afrobeats."The vast majority of awards were doled out offstage during the evening far better known for its performances and stage antics than its prizes.
Fashion-wise it was an evening for the vamps, including Swift in Dior, with a yellow plaid bustier top and open skirt complete with caged leather gloves and velvet hot pants. Anitta brought her signature high-energy twerks to the stage, while Karol G recreated a Latin bar scene to deliver"Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido."
