VMAs 2024: Ιστορικό ρεκόρ για την Taylor Swift – Η λίστα των νικητών

Ξημερώματα ώρα Ελλάδας, πραγματοποιήθηκαν στην UBS Arena του Elmont της Νέας Υόρκης τα φετινά VMAs και προφανώς, ήταν μία μεγάλη βραδιά για την Taylor Swift (δικαίως ή μη).

Η αγαπημένη star ήταν συνολικά υποψήφια σε 12 κατηγορίες, σε 9 από αυτές για το single-συνεργασία με τον Post Malone, “Fortnight” για το οποίο αμφότεροι βραβεύτηκαν. “Υπάρχει ένας πολύ ξεκάθαρος λόγος που ο Post Malone είναι ο αγαπημένος άνθρωπος όποιου βρίσκεται στη βιομηχανία της μουσικής. Είσαι τόσο απίστευτα ταλαντούχος, είσαι τόσο ευέλικτος και είσαι ο πιο προσγειωμένος άνθρωπος. Ειλικρινά, τόσο αδιάκοπα ευγενικός, που μου πήρε αιώνες να τον καταφέρω να σταματήσει να με αποκαλεί ‘κυρία'”, δήλωσε η Taylor από σκηνής, με τον Post να της απαντά με ακόμα ένα “ma’am”.

Η Taylor αναδείχθηκε νικήτρια και στο μεγάλο βραβείο της βραδιάς, για “Video of the Year” (τρίτη συνεχόμενη φορά, πέμπτη συνολικά στην καριέρα της), όπου και πάλι πρωτοστάτησε το “Fortnight”, με την Tay να κάνει μία σύντομη και τρυφερή αναφορά στον σύντροφό της, Travis Kelce. “Όταν ολοκλήρωνα μία λήψη και έλεγα ‘cut’ και είχαμε τελειώσει με αυτή τη λήψη, πάντα θα άκουγα κάποιον να χειροκροτά και να φωνάζει ‘whoo’ από την άλλη πλευρά του στούντιο. Και αυτός ο ένας άνθρωπος ήταν ο σύντροφός μου, Travis. Ό,τι ακουμπά αυτός ο άνδρας γίνεται ευτυχία και διασκέδαση και μαγεία”, ανέφερε η Tay.

Από αυτή τη βραδιά η Taylor έφυγε έχοντας σημειώσει τις περισσότερες νίκες στην ιστορία των VMAs, αγγίζοντας αισίως τις 30, ξεπερνώντας τις μέχρι τώρα θρυλικές 26 της Beyonce, ενώ αμέτρητα ήταν τα live performances που μας συνεπήραν, όπως εκείνα του Eminem, της Sabrina Carpenter, του Teddy Swims, του Benson Boone, της Chappele Roan και φυσικά, της Katy Perry που παρέλαβε και το Vanguard βραβείο για την ξεχωριστή της παρουσία στη μουσική όλα αυτά τα χρόνια.
