I cannot believe that it was a year ago at the VMAs that I announced the 'Midnights' album. All I have to say tonight is thank you."

"I had your dolls," Swift told the former members of the five-man group. "You’re pop personified."
The singer later won the song of the year award nominated alongside SZA's "Kill Bill" and Miley Cyrus' "Flowers." Marking her 16th win, she thanked longtime producer and close friend Jack Antonoff for their first collaboration together "1989." Swift is set to release the rerecorded version of the album on Oct. 27, exactly nine years since the original reached fans.
