This success is also reflected in multiple awards and recognitions that the artist has received throughout her career. The last of them was the video of the year award for her song “Anti-Hero.” With this victory, Taylor positions herself as the first artist to win the VMA for video of the year on two consecutive occasions, since she won in 2022 for “All Too Well (10 minute version) (Taylor’s version) (from The Vault)” .

This is in addition to the awards he received in 2015 for “Bad Blood” and in 2019 for “You Need to Calm Down.” With which she is also the most awarded artist in the video of the year category, and if we add to this the videos that she has directed or co-directed, the record would only grow.

In this regard, Taylor Swift commented (via The Hollywood Reporter):

This is incredible (…) I just want to say that the fact that this is a fan-voted award means a lot to me.

The American singer received the award from the hands of LL Cool J.

Based on the memories we’ve made recently, I’ve just been on a tour that has been the most joyful and exhilarating experience, and we’re not even halfway done. I truly felt like last year was the adventure of a lifetime. I can’t believe it was a year ago that I announced the Midnights album. And all I have to say tonight is thank you. I am amazed.

On this occasion, it was women who dominated this main category, something that also marks a precedent in the history of the awards. This year’s nominees were “Kill Bill” by SZA“Flowers” by Miley Cyrus, “Super Freaky Girl” by Nicki Minaj, “vampire” by Olivia Rodrigo, “Attention” by Doja Cat and “Unholy” by Kim Petras and Sam Smith (who as non-binary).

It was a big night for Swift, who picked up nine Moon Person trophies, only four of which were presented during the broadcast, including song of the year, best pop video and best direction.

The Eras Tour

Currently, the singer is in the middle of “The Eras Tour”, a concert tour around the world that refers to each of her musical stages, divided according to each of her albums where each one represents an era. The tour began on March 17, 2023 in Glendale, Arizona and will end on November 23, 2024 in Toronto, Canada.

On this tour, Taylor Swift will visit at least 50 cities, adding 146 concerts around North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia and Oceania. In these concerts she also contemplated Mexico, today in which thousands of people took place on four dates. The tour is planned to break the record for the most successful female tour in international history, which would surpass Madonna. The record it has broken so far is the one for the highest number of pre-sales sold in a single day. As far as Mexico is concerned, with The Eras Tour, Taylor Swift is the first show in the country’s history to have four sold-out dates during the same tour.
