MTV’s Video Music Awards (VMAs) took place Wednesday night in New York, where Taylor Swift won the event’s top prize for video of the year, CNN writes.
Megan Thee Stallion acted as host of the typically unpredictable proceedings, but it was a smooth and star-studded show that felt more like a concert than an awards ceremony.
Eminem opened with the help of Jelly Roll. Other performers who took the stage included Camila Cabello, Chappell Roan, GloRilla, Rauw Alejandro, Lenny Kravitz and Sabrina Carpenter.
