Taylor Swift has already won two awards at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards - Best Pop and Song of the Year - for "Anti-Hero."

To top everything all off, she received those awards from her music icons.

Taylor Swift Wins Best Pop

Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, and JC Chasez reunited at the MTV VMAs stage to present the award for Best Pop.

The boyband, considered one of the biggest in the world during the 90s and the early 2000s, reunited for the first time in years for the momentous event.

They awarded the first major award of the evening to Taylor Swift, who was visibly elated by the reunion of the world's famous boyband.

"I had your dolls," she told the group. "What's going to happen now? They're doing something and I need to know what it is. You're pop personified."

Taylor went on to receive the Best Pop Video for "Anti-Hero." She bested Demi Lovato for "Swine," Dua Lipa for "Dance The Night," Ed Sheeran for "Eyes Closed," Miley Cyrus for "Flowers," Olivia Rodrigo for "Vampire," and Pink for "Trustfall."

Taylor Swift Wins Song of the Year

If the blasts from the past weren't enough, Taylor Swift was shocked again that she received an award presented by more 90s icons.

Timbaland and Nelly Furtado presented the award for Song of the Year at the 2023 MTV Video Music Award, which Taylor Swift also won for "Anti-Hero." She beat Miley Cyrus for "Flowers," Olivia Rodrigo for "Vampire," Steve Lacy with "Bad Habit," Rema and Selena Gomez for "Calm Down," Sam Smith and Kim Petras for "Unholy," and SZA for "Kill Bill."

A "millennial-triggered" Swift also gushed about Timbaland and Furtado's presence, asking if the duo are gonna do something together. Very recently, the two did do things together as they released "Keep Going Up" with Justin Timberlake.

Swift then thanked his frequent collaborator, Jack Antonoff who helped her produced "Midnights" and a bunch of his previous and upcoming records.

"We'll be making music together until 2089," she said about making music with Jack Antonoff.

Taylor Swift is the most nominated artist of the night with eight nominations, including Video of the Year. She has already won two of those - Best Pop and Song of the Year.
