They perform at the MTV Video Music Awards… and have played at the Plenitude Arena
On Sunday, September 27, 2026, the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles honored several artists that Plenitude Arena audiences know well, or will soon be seeing on stage. Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, Olivia Rodrigo, Karol G, Harry Styles: a look back at a list of winners that reads a lot like the venue’s calendar.
The 2026 VMAs with a Plenitude Arena flavor
The 2026 MTV Video Music Awards took place on Sunday, September 27 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, starting at 4:30 p.m. local time, which was 1:30 a.m. on September 28 in Paris. Hosted by Snoop Dogg, the ceremony celebrated the year’s standout music videos. Madonna dominated the night with seven awards, but several winners and nominees have a direct connection to Plenitude Arena: some have already played here, others are coming in 2027.
Taylor Swift, the most awarded artist in VMAs history
Taylor Swift took home two awards and an honorary distinction. She won Video of the Year for “The Fate of Ophelia”, from the album The Life of a Showgirl, a video she wrote and directed herself, as well as Best Direction for “Opalite”. Earlier in the evening, Dakota Johnson presented her with the very first MTV VMA Artist Director Honors, recognizing her work as a director, just before the premiere of her new video “Patient Zero”. With these wins, she becomes the most awarded artist in VMAs history, with 33 awards in total.
Our audiences remember her visit well: from May 9 to 12, 2024, Taylor Swift performed four consecutive, sold-out shows of The Eras Tour at Paris La Défense Arena, now Plenitude Arena. These Paris dates kicked off the European leg of her tour. Relive these four nights.
Bad Bunny, Best Latin for “NUEVAYoL”
Bad Bunny won Best Latin for “NUEVAYoL”, in a category that also included Karol G, Anitta and Shakira, and Rosalía.
On July 4 and 5, 2026, the Puerto Rican artist set foot on a Paris stage for the very first time, at Plenitude Arena, for two nights of his Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour. Catch all the highlights in our look back at Bad Bunny’s concerts.
