Tributes to Dolly Parton
Taylor also collected Best Director for Opalite, as well as a special Artist-Director award - to celebrate "groundbreaking music artists whose work behind the camera has expanded the possibilities of music video".
"Thank you so much for giving this award to this video, because I'm so proud of it. To the fans, thank you for voting on it," Taylor said.

Accepting the trophies, Taylor also dedicated her win to country music legend Dolly Parton, who died last month aged 80.

Taylor added: "I think that we were all very lucky to share this planet with Dolly Parton for a time."
