With these 3 honors, Swift’s profession tally of VMAs jumps to 14, which places her in 4th place perpetuity, behind Beyoncé (29), Madonna (20) and Woman Gaga (18). That’s right, female solo musicians are the top 4 champions of perpetuity.

Taylor Swift

“All Too Well (10 Min Variation) (Taylor’s Version)” is the first video clip that was guided by the musician without a attributed collaborator to win video clip of the year. 4 previous video clip of the year champions were co-directed by the musician with an outdoors collaborator – Missy Elliott’s “Work It” (with Dave Meyers), Kendrick Lamar’s “HUMBLE.” (with Meyers and Dave Free), Swift’s “You Need to Calm Down (with Attracted Kirsch) and Lil Nas X’s “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” (with Tanu Muino).

Swift also won best long-form video clip for “All Too Well (10 Min Variation) (Taylor’s Variation).” Swift is the 3rd champion in this sporadically provided category. Madonna was the first, for “The Spotless Collection” (1991), complied with by Beyoncé for “Lemonade” (2016).

Swift also won best instructions for the second time, having actually formerly won in the category 2 years back for “The Guy.” Swift is the second lady to win two times in the category, following Valerie Faris, that teamed with her hubby, Jonathan Dayton, to direct Smashing Pumpkins’ “Tonight, Tonight,” the 1996 champion, and Red Warm Chili Peppers’ “Californication,” the 2000 champion.

Swift is the second individual to win best instructions two times for work by themselves video clips. Lamar won for co-directing “Alright” (2015) and “HUMBLE.” (2017).

Bad Bunny

In a historical win, Bad Bunny was called musician of the year. It is the very first time a Latin musician has taken a marquee, all-genre honor at the VMAs. His win over Drake, Ed Sheeran, Harry Designs, Jack Harlow, Lil Nas X and Lizzo was a shock, but hardly a stun. Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Transgression Ti logs its 9th week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 today, equaling the Encanto soundtrack for the lengthiest run at No. 1 in 2022.

Bad Bunny didn’t win best Latin. Anitta took that honor. Incredibly, Bad Bunny has yet to win best Latin, despite 4 nominations in the previous 3 years. He was chosen for “Mia” (featuring Drake, 2019), “Yo Perreo Sola” (2020), and “Dakiki (with Jhay Cortez, 2021) and “Un Dia (One Day)” (a collab with J Balvin, Dua Lipa and Tainy, 2021).
