The artist behind “Cruel Summer” is recognized not only for her music but also for directing numerous music videos throughout her career. This multi-talented approach earned her the Video of the Year award for “Fortnight”, further extending her record for the most wins in the category for self-directed or co-directed videos. Her previous works like “You Need to Calm Down”, “All Too Well: The Short Film” and “Anti-hero” were all directed or co-directed by Swift herself.

In the competition, Swift surpassed Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, Eminem, and SZA with her songs “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)”, “LUNCH”, “Paint The Town Red”, “Houdini”, and “Snooze” respectively.
