Taylor Swift won her first award at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards on Wednesday.
Swift and Post Malone won Best Collaboration for “Fortnight,” the lead single from her 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”
Flavor Flav and Olympic athlete Jordan Chiles presented collaborators with a Moon Man on stage at the UBS Arena in New York.
In his speech, the pop superstar paid tribute to those who lost their lives and loved ones in the 9/11 attacks.
“Waking up this morning in New York on September 11th,” she said. “Everybody we lost, and that’s the most important thing about today.”
She went on to praise Post Malone.
“There’s a reason Post Malone is everyone’s favorite person in music to collaborate with,” Swift said.
“And that’s because he’s so talented, so versatile, and he’s the most down-to-earth person,” she added. “Honestly, he’s always been so polite, it took me a long time to get him to stop calling me ‘ma’am.'”
For his part, Post Malone praised Swift as “one of the kindest and most talented people I have ever had the honor of knowing”.
Swift is nominated for a total of 12 awards at the 2024 MTV VMAs, including Video of the Year.
