Swift’s previous Video of the Year victories include:
- “Bad Blood” (2015)
- “You Need To Calm Down” (2019)
- “All Too Well: The Short Film” (2022)
- “Anti-Hero” (2023)
Taylor claimed victories over artists like Charli XCX, Oliva Rodrigo, and even Sabrina Carpenter. However, it’s important to note that this marks the seventh consecutive year that a woman won Best New Artist and the fifth year in a row that a woman has won Song Of The Year. Sounds like the guys have some ground to make up!
