MTV celebrated the big video clip night last Sunday, August 28 at the Prudential Center in New Jersey. The music industry did not want to miss the Video Music Awards, an evening in which the Red Hot Chili Peppers were awarded with the Global Icon award and Nicky Minaj with the Video Vanguard Award. But the queen, once again, was Taylor Swift.
The singer won the Video of the Year statuette for ‘All Too Well: The Short Film’, the extended version of the hit belonging to her album ‘Red’, re-released in November 2021 with new recordings so that the rights belong to her and not the record company. The video, starring Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien, was a real hit that blew the “swifties” in search of hidden references and messages in this extended ten minute version of the song. Taylor Swift acknowledged the milestone that four of the video clips named in the category were directed by women (“All Too Well” directed it herself) and thanked fans who rated her video compared to those of Doja Cat, Drake, Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles, Lil Nas X and Olivia Rodrigo: “I’m so proud of what we’ve done, (…) we couldn’t have made this short without you, the fans. Because I wouldn’t have been able to re-record my album if it wasn’t for you. You have me. given the courage to do so “.

The singer also released the bomb that on October 21 he will release ‘Midnights’, his new album with original songs: “I decided that if you want to be so generous and give us this, I thought it would be a good time to tell you that my new album will be out on October 21st and that I will tell you more at midnight.”, winking at the title. The album will feature 13 new songs which the artist describes as “the stories of thirteen sleepless nights of my life”.

Going back to “All Too Well”, the MTV astronaut could be the first of many awards that could even lead Swift to the Oscars. As the Hollywood Reporter revealed a few days ago, this video clip meets the Academy requirements to be nominated in the Best Short Film category in the next edition of the film awards. The 2023 Oscars gala will be held on March 12. For “Cats” he hasn’t arrived, but one of his most painful breakups could get him a gold pass to the Dolby Theater.
