LOS ANGELES —Taylor Swift’s showgirl-inspired “The Fate of Ophelia” claimed the most prestigious trophy at MTV’s annual Video Music Awards on Sunday, and the singer dedicated the honor to the late country music legend Dolly Parton.
Ms. Swift took home three awards at this year’s VMAs, bringing her career total to an unmatched 33. She had previously been tied with Beyonce at 30 awards apiece.
“Ophelia,” the first single off the record-breaking 2025 “The Life of a Showgirl” album, was named video of the year.
As she held her latest Moon Person trophy, Ms. Swift praised Ms. Parton as “the ultimate showgirl” who told stories that were “so vivid and so rich.”
