2023 MTV VMAs Winners: The List

The 2023 MTV VMAs Winners were announced recently. And, we have shared the list of the winners of the 2023 MTV VMAs in our Focus Magazine. Notably, the MTV (Music Television) VMAs (Video Music Awards) celebrate the most loved music videos and artists that have come out each year by fans worldwide.

Moreover, this list of 2023 MTV VMAs Winners is based on the votes of the users of the MTV website. For each category, the voting users were given the choice to pick their winners, and the one with the highest votes won. However, in the professional categories, the 2023 MTV VMAs Winners were picked by the professionals and not by popular vote. As expected, the Swifties ensured that Taylor Swift and her Anti-Hero song emerged as the big winner in the MTV VMAs 2023. Although there are many more winners across the different categories, go ahead and check them out.

During the 2023 MTV VMAs, Taylor Swift stood out as the evening's top winner, taking home nine awards, which featured Video of the Year, Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year for "Anti-Hero" and Midnights. Other prominent 2023 MTV VMAs Winners included Ice Spice, who was awarded Best New Artist, and Karol G and Shakira, who won Best Collaboration for "TQG." Nicki Minaj received the Best Hip-Hop award, while Shakira was honoured with the Video Vanguard Award, and Diddy received the Global Icon Award.
