His song ‘All too well’ won the prize for best video clip of the year, best long video and best director
Singer Taylor Swift has triumphed in the latest edition of the Video Music Awards (VMA) awarded by the MTV network at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The American received the highest recognition for her song ‘All too well’, best video clip of the year, best long video and best director. The artist wanted to respond to these awards and the unconditional support of her followers by announcing the date of her new album for next October 21. Under the title ‘Midnights’ she bundles thirteen songs in which the singer-songwriter will tell as many stories of sleepless nights throughout her life.
Swift used her speech to highlight the work of women behind the cameras, underlining that four female video clip directors have been nominated this year. Feminist discourses and messages about women’s empowerment are common in her songs as well as in her speeches.
Not in vain, he has had to overcome his entire career from the public scrutiny of his physical image, which caused eating disorders, to the disdain of colleagues. This was the case in 2009 when she was also the winner in the best music video category in that year’s edition of the MTV VMAs and Kanye West took the stage to say that “for me the best video is Beyonce, but don’t worry don’t worry I’ll let you finish your speech.” A message that the young Swift, just 19 years old, has experienced as a true humiliation. Over the years, the singer has retaliated by breaking countless music industry records, even knocking the Beatles off the throne by charting three consecutive albums at No. 1 in UK sales.
Another winner of the night was rapper Nicki Minaj, a 17-time VMA nominee and five-time winner. He received the honorary Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award and Best Hip-Hop Video for “Do We Have a Problem?” Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow won three joint images for their version of Industry Baby, and Harry Styles won Album of the Year for “Harry’s House,” and Best Pop Music Video and Best Cinematography for “As It Was.” Harlow also won a statuette for ‘First class’ as the best song of the summer.
The speech of the evening that received the most applause was that of Bad Bunny, who won the prize for best artist of the year: «I have always believed from the beginning that I could grow up, that I could become one of the best singers in the world. become without having to change my culture, my language, my language, my jargon; I am Benito Antonio Martínez, from Puerto Rico for the whole world».
