TAYLOR Swift has won the first award of the night at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards.<\/p>\n

The superstar, who came to the red carpet just moments before the show began, accepted the Best Pop Award from NSYNC.<\/p>\n

The award came after Olivia Rodrigo kicked off the show by performing her hit single Vampire – which left fans confused after sparks flew and pieces of the stage fell during the song.<\/p>\n

Fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their confusion during the chaos as one wrote: "One of the fake trees fell.. was that part of it? Looked strange."<\/p>\n

"Bro idk what is going on," another added.<\/p>\n

Even though the chaos appeared to be a part of the show, based on the nominated music video, even celebrities in the crowd seemed overwhelmed as Selena Gomez was shown covering her ears.<\/p>\n

Alongside Taylor and Selena, celebrities like Doja Cat, Demi Lovato, and Shakira are in attendance at tonight's ceremony at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Viewers can watch the MTV Video Music Awards ceremony live on MTV and the Paramount Network, or purchase a membership to stream the show on Paramount+ tomorrow here.<\/p>\n
