At the 2023 VMA awards ceremony, Melanie Martinez lost the "best visual effects" award to Taylor Swift's "Anti-Hero" music video. While Taylor Swift undoubtedly creates incredible visuals in her music videos, it is my firm belief that this award should have given to Melanie for her mesmerizing VOID music video. The visuals presented in VOID were truly stunning and out of this world, showcasing a unique artistic vision that captivated audiences worldwide.
