Taylor Swift and Post Malone took home the first award of the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards for best collaboration, handed to them by Flavor Flav and Olympian Jordan Chiles. Swift started her speech by giving remembrance to everyone who lost their lives and loved ones during 9/11, 23 years ago, before discussing Malone. “There is a reason Post Malone is everyone in music’s favourite person to collaborate with,” she shifted her attention to him. It has taken forever for me to get him to stop calling me ma’am.”
