Last night’s MTV Video Music Awards was a wild ride. We got a new album from Miley, a presidential promise from Kanye, pop-star blast from Nicki Minaj, and some tears from Justin Bieber. There were even some Moonmen handed out, the iconic statue redesigned by fashion maven Jeremy Scott to reflect the colorfulness of the evening’s action.
Oh yeah, it was an awards show after all. Sorry, Kanye.
The awards started getting handed out early during the pre-show, when Best Rock Video went to Fall Out Boy’s Uma Thurman.” The rest of the night’s winners — from Fetty Wap as “Artist To Watch” to 5 Seconds Of Summer nabbing the “Song Of The Summer” for “She’s Kinda Hot” to Taylor Swift winning four Moonmen, including her Kendrick Lamar collab “Bad Blood” — can be checked below.
