Harry Styles apologised to fans for his absence at the 2022 MTV VMAs despite being “just down the road,” as he became the first big British winner of the night.
The 28-year-old superstar picked up album of the year at the annual ceremony, which clashed with his performance at Madison Square Garden in New York. This year’s VMAs are taking place less than an hour away at the Prudential Centre in Newark, New Jersey.
Styles’ win followed that of fellow pop sensation Taylor Swift, who was awarded best longform video for All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version). The video, which features Stranger Things star Sadie Sink and Teen Wolf star Dylan O’Brien, went viral earlier this year after fans speculated the song was based on Swift’s break-up with actor Jake Gyllenhaal.
