Taylor Swift's Video of the Year win was accompanied by an inaugural Artist Director Honors award earlier in the program.
The awards also highlighted a range of genres: BTS and K-pop acts won in K-Pop and Group categories, Ella Langley scored in country, and alternative and pop categories went to Olivia Rodrigo and Lisa respectively.
