Taylor Swift has achieved another feat through her illustrious music career. It is MTV's Video Music Awards season, and apparently, Swift is the most-awarded solo artist in VMAs history with 30 awards under her belt. The list of awards is part of her 71 nominations at the award show over the course of her career.

This weekend, the VMAs 2025 are taking place, and as usual, the Blank Space singer is nominated. The pop star is nominated for the Artist of the Year along with Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, Morgan Wallen, and The Weeknd. However, Taylor, who won 7 awards out of her 12 nominations last year with her album Tortured Poets Department, will not be attending the show this year.

Fans react to Taylor Swift's feat

This feat caused a bit of a commotion amongst Swift's fans and other internet users, as while the fans were overjoyed and celebrating her achievement, some people felt that she didn't quite deserve it, to the point that they even accused her of buying her way into having these awards.

One fan gleefully stated,

"She is the Mother. She has powers to revive economy. Her shows talk in Billion dollars, which is needed for some country to revive its economy. She can swiftly change the region's dynamic by her songs."

While one user was not quite impressed and reasoned,

"yeah yeah yeah, 30 VMAs seems impressive and all, but let's be real, most of those are pop fans voting for their girl...does that really equate to artistic merit? what about the actual musical innovation or lyrical depth? comparing her to artists who pushed boundaries and took risks in their craft feels like apples and oranges taylor swift is a businesswoman, not just an artist"

Another netizen expressed,

"Weekend or drake deserve it more, I know Taylor swift fan will be in my CS soon but they should show me one Taylor swift that change their life while I can list 100 songs each"

A fan joked,

"Taylor collecting VMAs like they’re Pokémon cards"

Another showcased their neutral position in this debate,

"Not my style, but her career contributions can't be denied.."

Currently, the singer is preparing for her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl, which will be released this October.
