Tonight's 2026 MTV VMAs will be a big night for singer/songwriter Taylor Swift, who will receive the inaugural Artist Director Honors, which recognizes groundbreaking music artists whose work behind the camera has expanded the possibilities of music video and advanced the art of visual storytelling. The new honor seeks to celebrate sustained, influential bodies of work by artists who have pushed creative boundaries and developed a clear directorial voice. In addition, Swift will world premiere the official music video for "Patient Zero." The track is one of Swift's new songs from The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore, with the music video directed by Swift, starring Colin Farrell and Dakota Johnson, and cinematography by Academy Award winner Emmanuel Lubezki (The Revenant, Birdman, Gravity) – you can check out the trailer above, and the official lyric video below. With the show just getting underway, we have a look at Swift on the red carpet ("blue" carpet):
