The night belonged to Taylor Swift. From an MTV camera dedicated to her and her seatmates including Ice Spice and Sabrina Carpenter, to winning multiple awards, MTV VMA&nbsp;2023 was Taylor’s night. There were other memorable incidents on the stage too but Taylor takes the cake. Among other stuff that happened, Lil Wayne and Olivia Rodrigo opened the show with back-to-back performances and at one point, the stage almost collapsed but it was later revealed that it was all part of the act. Then there was Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion rocking their new single called “Bongos”.&nbsp;

Ice Spice won Best New Artist. Karol G delivered the evening’s most visually exciting performance as she was accompanied by a group of pink-clad male dancers. She and Shakira won best collaboration. Shakira wowed everyone as she gave a career-spanning performance celebrating her Video Vanguard award. Diddy followed suit for his Global Icon award.&nbsp;

The MTV VMAs&nbsp;2023 also had its fair share of controversies like every predecessor. The backstage cameras at the event caught what appeared to be an argument between Justin Timberlake and Megan Thee Stallion. The reports were later rubbished.&nbsp;

MTV VMAs 2023: Taylor Swift wins big, full list of winners

The MTV VMAs knew Taylor Swift would have a lot of reaction considering the number of wins she had this year, and thus the organisers tasked one camera operator to only focus on her and the girls sitting next to her. Taylor Swift got a dedicated camera focusing just on her for the entire duration of the Video Music Awards.&nbsp;

Taylor Swift sat in the front row beside her publicist Tree Paine and singer Ice Spice at the event. No other artist was filmed in the same manner.

<img alt="Taylor Swift" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2dc514ed-f1b2-46b3-8f3d-ea7fff07c32b" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-09-13T102509.202.jpg" />

Taylor Swift led with eight nominations at this year’s VMAs including Video of the Year and Artist of the Year. The singer accepted the first VMA for 2023 for best pop from NSYNC, who reunited on stage at the ceremony at New Jersey’s Prudential Center.

While receiving the award,&nbsp;she said, “I’m not doing well pivoting from this to this [from being an NSYNC fan to accepting an award]. Like, I had your [NSYNC] dolls!”

Swift then continued the group’s ongoing reunion teasers by saying, “Are you guys gonna do something? I need to know what it is!”

She created a new record as she picked the Video of the Year yet again. This is her second time in a row and the fourth time she has won Video of the Year. This year she won for her video of the song “Anti-Hero,” which she directed herself. It’s a record she already holds: Swift became the first performer to ever win Video of the Year three times when she received the award last year for “All Too Well (10 Minute Version).”

"We both were pretty much doing what we do,” he said in the new interview. “But sometimes being separate, you understand one another more.

But we all a victim to that."&nbsp; 
 
When he was asked if his renewed relationship with Ashanti felt good now, Nelly replied in the affirmative.

Shakira is truly an icon when it comes to representing her home country and its culture on the international stage. The Grammy-winning artist paid tribute to her decades-long career with a power-packed 10-minute performance at the MTV Video Music Awards 2023. She started off with “She Wolf” in which she was seen dancing to the wild choreography featured in the song’s iconic 2009 music video. She then rapidly transitioned into her and Rauw Alejandro’s “Te Felicito,” and followed up with her and Karol G’s “TQG.”

She also gave her initial hits a tribute as she sang and belly danced through “Objection,” “Whenever, Wherever,” and “Hips Don’t Lie.” After wrapping up her performance, Shakira walked back to the stage to accept the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award from Wyclef Jean. Shakira thanked her family and creative partners and especially thanked her “army” of fans.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-mtv-vmas-2023-taylor-swift-gets-a-camera-dedicated-just-to-herself-emerges-biggest-winner-635502">MTV VMAs 2023: Taylor Swift gets a camera dedicated just to herself, emerges biggest winner</a>
