At the 2024 VMAs, Taylor Swift won the Video of the Year award for Fortnight from her recent album, TTPD, which was released on April 19. On Wednesday, September 11, as she accepted the award, the singer thanked her collaborators, including Ethan Hawk and Josh Charles, who made memorable cameos in the video she directed. She also expressed her gratitude to Post Malone for his contribution to the song and acknowledged cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto and production designer Ethan Tobman, who worked with her on the Eras Tour.

As Swift held the Moonman and spoke into the microphone, the guys cheered her standing by her side.
