Taylor Swift is set to receive the inaugural MTV VMA Artist Director Honors at tonight’s ceremony, which would give her 31 Moon Person awards, one more than Beyoncé. Swift is also scheduled to premiere the “Patient Zero” music video during the show.
The new honor recognizes music artists whose behind-the-camera work has pushed creative boundaries and advanced visual storytelling. Swift has four VMA wins for Best Direction from seven previous nominations and is nominated again this year for “Opalite.”
The ceremony is scheduled to air live from Los Angeles at 7:30 p.m. ET (4:30 p.m. PT) on CBS, with a simulcast on MTV and streaming on Paramount+ Premium in the U.S. A teaser for “Patient Zero” featured Colin Farrell and Dakota Johnson.
