According to PEOPLE, one particularly endearing moment that caught the internet's attention was when Swift had a brief tussle with the cup holder in her seat. Her cocktail-sized cup had fallen with the holder, prompting her to delicately use her fingertips to lift the cup before taking a sip, all while giggling.

Amidst her multiple victories, Swift took a moment to acknowledge her record-breaking Eras Tour. She expressed her gratitude, saying, "I've just been on a tour that has been the most joyful and exhilarating experience. And we're not even halfway done with it. It's really felt like the adventure of a lifetime this past year." She fondly recalled that it was at the VMAs the previous year when she announced her Midnights album.
Swift humbly thanked her fans, exclaiming, "I cannot believe that it was a year ago at the VMAs that I announced the Midnights album. And all I have to say tonight is thank you. I’m blown away. Thank you so much to the fans. I love you so much."
