Taylor Swift has once again dominated the MTV Video Music Awards, becoming the most decorated solo artist at the VMAs of all time after winning seven categories, including the night’s top award, video of the year.
Swift, who was already the most nominated artist at the start of the evening, ended it by surpassing Beyoncé’s record set as a solo artist, winning her 30th VMA. Beyoncé has won 25 VMAs as a solo artist, two with Destiny’s Child and two with Jay-Z as the Carters.
