Taylor Swift's three wins at Sunday's VMAs lifted her tally to 33 Moon Person awards, breaking a tie with Beyoncé, who entered with 30. The honors were Video of the Year for “The Fate of Ophelia,” Best Direction for “Opalite” and the inaugural Artist Director Honors.
The Artist Director Honors recognizes music artists whose work behind the camera has pushed creative boundaries and advanced visual storytelling. Swift premiered her “Patient Zero” video at the VMAs days after surprise-releasing The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore, which added four songs.
Swift first won Best Direction in 2020 for “The Man.” Her 2022 film, “All Too Well: The Short Film,” which she wrote and directed, won Video of the Year, Best Longform Video and Best Direction.
