Swift thanked her fans for their continued support during her acceptance speech for Video of the Year.
The singer took the stage with her creative team for the video -- editor Chancler Haynes and cinematographer Rina Yang -- crediting them with helping her craft and direct the award-winning video.
"This is unbelievable," she marveled. "The fact that this is a fan-voted award means so much to me."
"I've just been on a tour that has been the most joyful and exhilarating experience, and we're not even halfway done," she added, referencing her record-breaking Eras Tour. "It's really felt like the adventure of a lifetime, this past year."
