MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year

(Redirected from MTV Video Music Award for Best Video of the Year)

The MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year Presented by Burger King[1] is the most prestigious competitive award and the final award presented at the annual MTV Video Music Awards.[2] The award was created by the U.S. network MTV to honor artists with the best music videos.[3] At the first MTV Video Music Awards ceremony in 1984, the Video of the Year honor was presented to The Cars for the video "You Might Think".[4] Originally, all winners were determined by a special panel of music video directors, producers, and record company executives.[5] Since the 2006 awards, winners of major categories are determined by viewers' votes through MTV's website, while the jury decides in the technical categories.[6]

Taylor Swift holds the record for the most wins, with a total of five for "Bad Blood" (2015), "You Need to Calm Down" (2019), “All Too Well: The Short Film” (2022), “Anti-Hero" (2023) and ″Fortnight″ (2024). Swift and Eminem are tied for the most nominations, with seven as lead artists.[a] David Lee Roth (1985), U2 (1988), and Lady Gaga (2010) are the only acts to have had two Video of the Year nominations in a single ceremony.[8] Two acts have won both the Video of the Year and the honorary Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award in the same night—Peter Gabriel in 1987 with "Sledgehammer" and Justin Timberlake in 2013 with "Mirrors".[9][10] Swift is the first artist to win Video of the Year for a self-directed video, with All Too Well: The Short Film. Kendrick Lamar, Swift, and Lil Nas X have further won the award for a video they co-directed: Lamar for "Humble" in 2017, Swift for "You Need to Calm Down" in 2019, and Lil Nas X for "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" in 2021.[b] Taylor Swift is the artist who won most Video of the Year trophies for self-directed videos - she directed "All Too Well: The Short Film", "Anti-Hero" and "Fortnight".
