Which Taylor Swift video won Video of the Year at the 2024 MTV VMAs?

Taylor Swift’s “Fortnight,” featuring Post Malone, won Video of the Year at the 2024 MTV VMAs.

The award recognized the video for Swift’s lead single from The Tortured Poets Department. Swift directed the video herself, with cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, and the surreal black-and-white production features Post Malone alongside imagery inspired by institutional settings, dream logic, and literary references.

“Fortnight” beat nominees including Ariana Grande’s “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love),” Billie Eilish’s “Lunch,” Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red,” Eminem’s “Houdini,” and SZA’s “Snooze.” The win was part of Swift’s dominant night: she entered as the most nominated artist and collected seven awards.

The title can be confused with Swift’s earlier VMA-winning videos, especially “Anti-Hero,” which won Video of the Year in 2023. “Lavender Haze” and “Karma” were also associated with her Midnights era, but neither won the 2024 top video prize.
