The star-studded 40th VMAs were held at UBS Arena on Long Island.
It was a night brimming with unforgettable performances, political moments, and just the right amount of sparkle, but Taylor Swift (not surprisingly) stole the show at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, walking away with seven trophies, including the coveted Video of the Year.
