It’s going to be a historic night at the 2026 VMAs at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California, on Sunday night, with Taylor Swift set to be presented with inaugural MTV VMA Artist Director Honors.
The award will break Swift’s tie with Beyonce to make her the most-awarded musician in VMA history with 31. Swift will also be premiering the music video for her new single “Patient Zero.”
Everyone was waiting for Swift to make her grand entrance on Sunday night, and when she did, she pulled up in style.
