MTV
VMAs
has
become
an
iconic
moment
in
the
entirety
for
the
music
industry
after
the
pandemic.
The
Video
Music
Awards
returned
to
its
traditional
stage
in
Brooklyn
on
Sunday
night
September
12
(US)
with
performances
by
some
of
the
biggest
stars.
The
night
began
with
callbacks
to
MTV's
40th
anniversary
and
early
days
by
a
tribute
video
presented
by
Madonna,
the
queen
of
early
MTV.
Madonna
recalled
arriving
in
New
York
City
and
telling
a
cab
driver
to
take
her
to
the
"centre
of
it
all,"
and
being
taken
to
Times
Square
with
"$35
and
a
pair
of
dance
shoes."
"And
they
said
we
wouldn't
last,
but
we're
still
here
motherf***ers," she
added.
The
night's
first
performance
was
by
Justin
Bieber
and
The
Kid
LAORI,
singing
their
viral
hit
"Stay" and
followed
by
another
dazzling
performance
by
Oliva
Rodrigo.
She
went
on
to
win
two
biggest
awards
of
the
night,
Push
Performance
Award
-
given
out
at
the
Red
Carpet
along
with
the
first
trophy
of
the
night
for
the
Song
of
the
Year
award
for
"Drivers
License."
Her
performance
also
became
iconic
for
the
night
when
she
broke
the
camera
lens
with
her
mic,
leading
fans
to
go
ballistics
on
social
media.
Take
a
look:
Some
of
the
other
performances
that
have
joined
the
list
of
memorable
moments
include
Lil
Nas
X's
marching
band
in
pink.
Normani
also
set
the
stage
on
fire
with
her
collaboration
with
Teyana
Taylor.
Winning
moments
like
Justin
Bieber's
Artist
of
the
Year,
as
well
as
Billie
bagging
the
Video
for
Good
Award
also
marked
the
return
of
2010
greats
artists
on
the
centre
stage.
Billie
began
her
speech
by
fangirling
over
Alicia
Keys
and
said,
she
"just
kissed
my
cheek,
I
have
a
mark."
On
the
other
hand,
Justin
while
accepting
his
award
said,
"Music
is
such
an
amazing
opportunity
and
an
amazing
outlet
to
reach
people
and
to
bring
us
all
together.
I
look
around
here
and
I
see
so
many
beautiful
faces
and
I
really
do
believe
the
best
is
yet
to
come."
Some
of
the
cutest
couple
moments
came
from
Shawn
Mendes
-
Camila
Cabello
as
they
both
fangirled
over
each
other's
performances.
While
Shawn
dancer
on
the
side
stage,
Camila
gave
an
adorable
introduction
before
his
set.

Meanwhile,
on
winning
the
award
for
Best
Alternative,
Machine
Gun
Kelly
and
Megan
Fox
shared
the
cutest
kiss.
The
two
known
for
posing
steamy
for
the
camera
on
the
red
carpet,
touched
each
other's
tongues
before
the
singer
accepted
his
award.
Doja
Cat
wore
some
iconic
and
some
weird
outfits
while
hosting,
and
presenting
awards
one
of
which
also
made
her
look
like
a
cocoon
but
the
best
of
all
was
when
the
artist
legit
wore
a
chair
as
a
hat.
She
was
also
seen
sitting
on
the
chair
for
a
little
break
between
the
hosting.
