Taylor Swift and Post Malone love-in at MTV Video Music Awards as ‘Fortnight’ collab wins

Taylor Swift’s black-and-white video “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone won video of the year, the top honour at MTV’s annual Video Music Awards, on Wednesday.

The “Fortnight” video was released in April to accompany the first single from Swift’s album The Tortured Poets Department, and also landed the best collaboration trophy.

“This video seems very sad when you watch it, but it actually was the most fun video to make,” Swift said as she accepted the Moon Person statuette.

After each take, she would hear a cheer from a person across the studio.

“That one person was my boyfriend Travis,” she said, referring to Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce.
