<p>Pop megastar Taylor Swift took home seven trophies on Wednesday at MTV's Video Music Awards, tying her with Beyonce for the most lifetime honours in the 40-year history of the video accolades.</p>

<p>Swift snagged the top prize, video of the year, for her bleak, black-and-white video "Fortnight" featuring Post Malone.</p>

<p>It shows Swift inside a bare psychiatric hospital, a setting she said reflected what she was seeing in her head as she wrote the music for "The Tortured Poets Department" album.</p>

<p>"This video seems very sad when you watch it, but it actually was the most fun video to make," Swift said as she accepted the VMA Moon Person statuette.</p>

<p>After each take, she would hear a cheer from someone across the studio. "That one person was my boyfriend Travis," she said, referring to Kansas City Chiefs football player Travis Kelce.</p>

<p>"Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic," she said. "I want to thank him for adding that to this shoot."</p>

<p>Swift also thanked her fans for voting for the VMA honours and urged them to cast their ballots in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. The singer endorsed Democrat Kamala Harris in an Instagram post on Tuesday, but she did not mention the candidate by name on Wednesday.</p>

Taylor Swift wins seven VMAs, tying Beyonce for lifetime lead

<p>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.”</p>

<p>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></p>

Susan Bro, mother of Heather Heyer who was killed in Charlottesville clash gave a moving speech

MTV Video Music Awards 2017 took a political turn on Sunday evening with celebrities taking a stand on critical issues. Rapper Kendrick Lamar took home the prestigious award for Video of the Year for "HUMBLE" where he dresses up as everything from the pope to Jesus in "The Last Supper." He opened the show with a martial arts-themed performance of the song with ninja dancers, one of which appeared to set himself ablaze. To portray a gender-neutral stance, he took six statuettes -- rechristened the "Moon Person" from "Moonman".

The VMAs also saw Heather Heyer's mother come on stage talking about her loss due to the white supremacist rally earlier this month. Heather Heyer was the 32-year-old anti-racism protester who got killed when a white supremacist drove into a crowd during the Charlottesville unrest on August 12. Her mother announced a foundation in honor of her daughter.

MTV Video Music Awards 2017 take a political turn

<p>MTV Video Music Awards since its launch in 1984 continues to be one of the most shocking and jaw-dropping award ceremonies. From Madonna kissing Britney Spears live in 2003 to Miley Cyrus twerking on Robin Thicke on stage in a barely-there two-piece costume&nbsp;in 2013, VMA sets the bar for the most scandalous on-stage performances, ever.</p>

<p>In case you missed it, here&#39;s what went happened at the VMAs 2017:&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Katy Perry: The Host</h2>

<p>Katy Perry hosted the awards this year. She raised eyebrows for her bizarre costumes and hosting style. Hers was the strangest VMAs opening ever as she was suspended from the roof, dressed in a silver space suit. While some looked entertained by her act, others like&nbsp;Jack Antonoff and Ellen DeGeneres seemed less impressed. Her intergalactic-themed opening monologue was quite a start though for some. The&nbsp;Bon App&eacute;tit singer soon stripped into a nude bodysuit from her oh-so-shiny space suit and was quoted:&nbsp;&ldquo;I gotta get out of this space suit.&quot;</p>

<p>She said on stage:</p>

<p>Willow recently told her, &ldquo;Mama &hellip; I am the ugliest girl I know&rdquo;.<br />
&ldquo;And I said, &lsquo;huh?&rsquo; And she was like, &lsquo;Yeah, I look like a boy with long hair,&rsquo;&rdquo;&nbsp;<br />
&ldquo;And my brain went to, &lsquo;Oh, my god. You are 6. Why? Where is this coming from? Who said this? Can I kick a 6-year-old&rsquo;s ass?&rsquo; But I didn&rsquo;t say anything.&quot;</p>

<p>&ldquo;Then I said, &lsquo;I really want to know why you feel this way about yourself.&rsquo; She said, &lsquo;I look like a boy.&rsquo;<br />
&ldquo;I said, &lsquo;What do you think I look like?&rsquo;<br />
&ldquo;She said, &lsquo;Well, you are beautiful.&rsquo; I was like, &lsquo;Well, thanks. But when people make fun of me, that&rsquo;s what they use.&rdquo;</p>

<p>&ldquo;And I said to her, &lsquo;do you see me growing my hair?&rsquo; She said, &lsquo;no, Mama.&rsquo; I said, &lsquo;do you see me changing my body?&rsquo; &lsquo;No, Mama.&rsquo;<br />
&ldquo;Do you see me changing the way I present myself to the world?&rsquo; &lsquo;No, Mama.&rsquo;<br />
&ldquo;So, baby girl, we don&rsquo;t change, we take the gravel and the shell and we make a pearl.<br />
&ldquo;We help other people to change so that they can see more kinds of beauty.&rdquo;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Taylor Swift: Premier of new single</h2>

<p>In another powerful performance, Taylor Swift made a mark even though she wasn&#39;t present at the VMAs herself. She stole the show by premiering her new single&nbsp;Look What You Made Me Do video. The&nbsp;Thriller-inspired clip features Swift dressed as clones of herself to represent the various stages of her career and life in general. It&nbsp;ends with her repeating her quote about her feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian: &ldquo;I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative&rdquo;.</p>

<h2>Lorde: Silent performance</h2>

<p>Lorde kept it quiet this year by just dancing throughout the time and not singing at all. She took to Twitter to explain that she has the flu &quot;so bad&quot; that she couldn&#39;t have sung at all. But this came after users on social media started booing for not singing at the music awards.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Taylor Swift is back with a new single.&nbsp;The song titled&nbsp;&quot;Look What You Made Me Do&quot; uses an&nbsp;interpolation from Right Said Fred&#39;s 1991 hit &quot;I&#39;m Too Sexy&quot;.</p>

<p>The&nbsp; 27-year-old singer dropped her latest number late hours on Thursday to&nbsp;streaming platforms and iTunes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The song features elements of pop, dance, and house, and&nbsp;includes sharp lyrics like: &quot;Honey, I rose up from the dead I do it all the time/I got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined I check it once/Then I check it twice.&quot;</p>

<p>Taylor Swift also leaves a message at the end of the song saying: &quot;I&#39;m sorry, but the old Taylor can&#39;t come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, &#39;cause she&#39;s dead.&quot;</p>
