Aside from the big two prizes, Swift also won the ‘Best Pop’ award given to the top pop artist, the best collaboration award for her team with Post Malone on “Fortnight” and the best Direction award for directing the Fortnight’s music video.

The pop star also thanked Post Malone saying, “there is a reason [he]…is everyone in music’s favorite person to collaborate with,” and then joked “it has taken me forever to stop him calling me ma’am.”

At the start of a speech, Swift said “Waking up this morning in New York… I’ve just been thinking about what happened 23 years ago” and then took a moment to acknowledge “everyone who lost a loved one and everyone that we lost,” on September 11.

Swift’s comment urging her fans to register to vote comes just a day after the superstar musician endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president shortly after the first presidential debate. In a post on her Instagram account, Swift hailed Harris as someone who “fights for the rights and causes I believe [in],” adding that she believes “we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.” The pop star’s post also addressed former President Donald Trump’s sharing of AI-generated images to suggest Swift had endorsed him, saying: “It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter.” Swift’s post also appeared to take a swipe at Trump’s running mate Sen. JD Vance’s comments about Democratic women by signing off the post as “Childless Cat Lady,” and using a photo of her holding her cat.
