Pemenang MTV Video Music Awards 2015

MTV Video Music Awards atau biasa disingkat MTV VMA adalah ajang penghargaan tahunan yang diberikan oleh MTV untuk video klip terbaik sejak tahun 1984. Penghargaan MTV VMA biasanya diselenggarakan sebelum akhir musim panas sekitar akhir Agustus dan pertengahan September. Piala atau trofi yang diberikan kepada para pemenang disebut Moonman karena berbentuk astronot. Trofi tersebut dibuat oleh R.S. Owens & Company. Untuk MTV VMA tahun ini, MTV selaku penyelenggara menunjuk desainer Jeremy Scott untuk mendesain ulang Moonman. Hasilnya Moonman kali ini berwarna-warni dengan sebuah kalung bertanda perdamaian.

Setelah menanti selama kurang lebih sebulan, akhirnya MTV VMA 2015 mengumumkan pemenangnya. Ajang penghargaan MTV VMA 2015 yang dihelat Minggu malam (30/8) waktu setempat di The Microsoft Theater Los Angeles, California dan dipandu Miley Cyrus, resmi menobatkan Taylor Swift sebagai pemenang terbanyak. Setidaknya ada empat piala dari sembilan nominasi yang berhasil dibawa pulang pelantun lagu “You Belong With Me” tahun ini. Taylor Swift berjaya dikategori Video of The Year, Best Female Video, Best Pop Video, dan juga Best Colaboration. Selain Taylor Swift, tidak ada lagi musisi yang sukses bawa pulang lebih dari satu piala di MTV Video Music Awards tahun ini. Nicki Minaj yang sebelumnya berseteru dengan Taylor Swift setelah nominasi MTV VMA 2015 diumumkan juga tidak pulang dengan tangan kosong. Dia berhasil menyabet Moonman untuk untuk kategori Best Hip Hop Video. Sedangkan Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award yang dulunya bernama Lifetime Achievement Award diberikan kepada Kanye West.
