The awards show also saw 37% growth in total viewers year-over-year with 865,000 people tuning in to watch the show, versus 630,000 last year.
These numbers are fast nationals, which means that final data will be available later Wednesday (and the totals are likely to go up). This story will be updated when those are released.
Swift swept at Tuesday night’s show, including the top award of the night Video of the Year for “Anti-Hero.” The singer-songwriter had the odds in her favor as she was the most nominated artist of the night going into the award show with eight mentions.
Other winners of the night included Shakira with the Video Vanguard Award as well as Best Duo alongside Karol G for their song “TQG.” Anitta took Best Latin for “Funk Rave,” while Nicki Minaj won the Best Hip-Hop trophy for “Super Freaky Girl.”
