Taylor Swift took home the top prize at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards for her “Anti-Hero” music video on a night full of surprises.
But as much as Swift dominated, the VMAs centered on music’s global power.
Colombian icon Shakira received the Video Vanguard Award and performed an incredible bilingual medley of her decades of hits. She also took home the award for best collaboration for “TQG,” her song with reggaetonera Karol G. The duo gave their acceptance speech entirely in Spanish.
Here are some of the best AP images from the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards
The selection was curated by AP photo editor Anita Baca in Mexico City.
