The 2024 VMAs Winners List has been unveiled, with the music industry’s biggest stars gathering at Long Island’s UBS Arena on Thursday, September 12, 2024, for an unforgettable night. The event celebrated the best in music and visual storytelling, bringing together global artists, dedicated fans, and some of the most influential figures in the industry. Hosted by the charismatic Megan Thee Stallion, the show kicked off with high energy and delivered a mix of emotional and electrifying moments throughout the evening.
The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) were particularly notable for the powerful performances that graced the stage. K-pop sensation LISA wowed the audience with her fierce and dynamic rendition of NEW WOMEN and ROCKSTAR, cementing her status as one of the most formidable performers in the industry. LE SSERAFIM, another K-pop group, marked a historic moment by becoming the first K-pop girl group to perform so early in their career on the VMA stage with their English version of CRAZY. Their performance was a testament to the global rise and influence of K-pop, which continues to break barriers in the music world.
The night also featured touching acceptance speeches. Taylor Swift, who was the biggest winner of the night, taking home seven awards including the coveted “Video of the Year,” gave a heartfelt shoutout to her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce. In her speech, she expressed her gratitude, saying, “This man touches turn to happiness, fun, and magic, so I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot.” Taylor’s sweep was a testament to her continued dominance in the music industry, and her collaboration with Post Malone on “Fortnight” was particularly well-received by fans and critics alike.
