Professional soccer player Alex Morgan presented the award to Swift. Before Swift stepped on the stage to accept the award, clips of her performance during the Reputation Stadium tour and brief interviews with Hayley Kiyoko, Ed Sheeran, Haim, Troye Sivan, Wiz Khalifa, and Jameela Jamil praising Swift were played.

"First I want to talk about Alex Morgan. The fact that she's here presenting this to me is such an honour and not only winning the World Cup with her amazing teammates, right?" the singer, 29, began during her acceptance speech.
