Music outlet Stereogum characterized the newly invented award as MTV's continuing effort to guarantee Swift shows up to the ceremony, noting she has never accepted the Video Vanguard Award being given to Nirvana this year.
“MTV has once again devised an excuse to get Swift into the building: Giving her a made-up award.”
