Sharjah24 - AFP: Taylor Swift on Wednesday repeated her call for fans to register to vote in the US presidential election as she accepted MTV's top Video Music Award.
Swift won the Video of the Year for "Fortnight," which also featured Post Malone, and thanked her loyal Swifties for bestowing her with the fan-chosen award, which she took home for the third straight year.
"To the fans, I'm always trying to figure out a way to say thank you to you for making my life what it is," Swift, who directed the video, said onstage.
"If you are over 18 please register to vote for something else that is very important," she added.
The 34-year-old international megastar's call follows her endorsement of Kamala Harris in the minutes after the previous evening's presidential debate between the Democratic hopeful and Republican Donald Trump.
"I'm voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them," Swift said in a lengthy Instagram post in throwing her support behind the Democratic nominee.
Also among the night's big winners was Chappell Roan, the "Midwest Princess" whose career has skyrocketed in recent months.
She wore a full suit of armor as she took the stage with a fiery crossbow to channel Joan of Arc in her performance of "Good Luck, Babe!" set in front of a flaming castle.
She dedicated her Best New Artist trophy to "queer and trans people who feel hot, to the gays who dedicate my songs to someone they love or hate."
"And for all the queer kids in the Midwest watching right now I see you," the Missouri native continued. "I understand you, because I'm one of you, and don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't be exactly who you want to be.
For an optimal experience, please
