Sabrina Carpenter is enjoying the taste of victory after bringing home her first-ever VMA win Wednesday (Sept. 11), while Taylor Swift and Post Malone will be celebrating their victories for at least a fortnight.
Here’s the Full List of 2024 MTV VMAs Winners
Made up of three of the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards’ most nominated artists, the trio took time to pose with their new Moon People backstage for a series of triumphant photos. In one picture of the group sitting in a row on a cushioned bench, Posty holds two of his trophies over his chest — making the “Please Please Please” artist cover her mouth and grin — while the pop superstar playfully places one of the seven statuettes she received that night on her “Fortnight” collaborator’s shoulder.
Carpenter, Swift and the “Rockstar” singer had much cause for celebration following the Megan Thee Stallion-hosted ceremony. While the Girl Meets World alum took home song of the year for her Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit “Espresso,” the “Anti-Hero” artist won a total of seven trophies, tying her with Beyoncé for the most decorated artist in VMAs history. Two of those were video of the year and best collaboration for “Fortnight,” which she shared with Posty.
“There is a very clear reason why Post Malone is everyone in music’s favorite person to collaborate with,” Swift said while accepting best collab , making her partner in crime blush. “It is because you are so ridiculously talented. You’re the most down-to-earth person.”
Toward the end of the night, the 14-time Grammy winner made fans cheer the loudest by shouting out a certain Kansas City Chiefs tight end. “I would always just hear someone cheering, like, ‘Whoo!’ from across the studio — that one person was my boyfriend, Travis,” the 14-time Grammy winner recalled of shooting “Fortnight” while accepting the award for video of the year. “Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic, so I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot.”

Fans will also be happy to see Swift and Carpenter reunited, months after the latter finished her run as an opener on the Latin America, Asia and Australia legs of the Eras Tour. At one point, fans had worried that the pair might be at odds due to the Work It star participating in a Skims photoshoot for Kim Kardashian — with whom Swift has a yearslong feud — but Carpenter put that to bed.
“In that scenario, I’ve been very, very communicative with [Swift] about that situation, and I just love her so much and support her till the end,” Carpenter told Rolling Stone in June. “So it was no weirdness for me, but I know people will just say things because that’s all they have time to do.”
Two months later, Swift confirmed that she’s still in the “Nonsense” artist’s corner by praising her new album Short n’ Sweet , which went on to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 . “Short. Sweet. Has made an extraordinary album,” Swift wrote in August on Instagram Stories. “Go support our girl!!”
