Taylor Swift wins top MTV video award, announces new album

Taylor Swift won the top honor at MTV's annual Video Music Awards on Sunday for the 10-minute version of her 2012 breakup song "All Too Well."

During her acceptance speech, the singer announced that she will release a new album on Oct. 21.

"We wouldn't have been able to make this short film if it weren't for you, the fans," she said on stage at the ceremony broadcast live from the Prudential Center in New Jersey.

Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny was named artist of the year and was handed his award on stage at New York's Yankee Stadium, where he was playing a concert.

Former Disney Channel star Dove Cameron, singer of hits "Breakfast" and "Boyfriend," was named best new artist.

Actor Johnny Depp, who is trying to rebuild his career after an ugly defamation fight with his ex-wife Amber Heard, appeared as a floating astronaut hovering above the crowd.

Depp's face was digitally imposed inside the helmet of an space man, the inspiration for the VMAs Moon Person statue, and he delivered brief jokes throughout the live ceremony.

"I needed the work," the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star joked at the start of the show.

Later in the ceremony, Depp said he was available for "birthdays, bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, weddings, wakes, any old thing you need."
