Taylor Swift became the most-awarded artist in the history of MTV Video Music Awards, while Katy Perry and Chappell Roan proved their pop star credentials at this year’s Awards.

Katy Perry picked up the Video Vanguard award, which is MTV’s equivalent of a lifetime achievement prize, after performing a career-spanning medley, including hits like “I Kissed A Girl”, “Dark Horse” and “Firework”.

Roan took home Best New Artist award, dedicating her prize to “all the drag queens who inspired her”.

And Taylor Swift picked up seven prizes, including the top two awards: Artist and Video of the Year. She now has 30 MTV trophies, overtaking Beyoncé as the event’s biggest winner.

Swift paid tribute to her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and used her acceptance speech to encourage fans to vote in the US Presidential election next month, a day after she endorsed Kamala Harris for the role.
