Additionally, she won best music video for her collaboration with Post Malone on “Fortnight” and favorite on-screen appearance for her movie, Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour (Taylor's Version).
Adding to the excitement of the night, Swift won the favorite surprise guest award alongside her boyfriend, Kelce, who made a memorable surprise appearance during her Eras Tour concert at Wembley Stadium in London.

Reflecting on the Eras Tour, which began on March 17, 2023, Swift noted that it marked the two-year anniversary of her remarkable journey. “People often say that sometimes the greatest challenges in life end up being something that you are so proud of or end up being the most gratifying feeling in the end if you can rise to the occasion,” she shared. “And this tour was absolutely the most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my life.”
Continuing her speech, Swift expressed her deep appreciation for her dedicated fans, known as Swifties. “You had the passion and the generosity to care about traveling to see us on tour in all these places all over the world. It blows my mind,” she said. “I’m never gonna stop being grateful for it, and I appreciate it more than you know.”
