American singer Taylor Swift (“Anti-Hero”) won the coveted trophy for Video of the Year at the MTV Video Music Awards. In the top category, the 33-year-old defeated Miley Cyrus (“Flowers”), Nicki Minaj (“Super Freaky Girl”) and the German Kim Petras, who was nominated together with the Brit for “Unholy” Sam Smit. Swift picked up other awards, including Song of the Year and Best Director.
The trophies of the music channel MTV were presented on Tuesday evening (local time) at the Prudential Center in Newark (US state of New Jersey).
