The MTV Music Video Awards brought passion to everyone’s living room in a brand-new way.

The stage was set in the bright lights of the Big Apple, New York. The VMAs performances were taken to new heights. The first performance of the night was from The Weeknd that was located 1000 ft. above the Hudson Yards.

Lady Gaga stole the show not just with her nine outrageous outfits but with her nine nominations for the night. Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande’s single “Rain On Me” poured in seven nominations. Lady Gaga also received the first-ever Tricon Award and promoted viewers to never give up on their dream and to always wear a mask and her masks did not disappoint.

“I might sound like a broken record but wear a mask. It’s a sign of respect,” said Mother Monster.

The Weeknd’s acceptance speech included thanking everyone that was involved in the making of “Blinding Lights” and uttered the words “Justice for Jacob Blake and Justice for Breonna Taylor.”

BTS took the VMAs stage for the first time to debut their first English song, “Dynamite”. Some of the other performers included Miley Cyrus, Maluima, CNCO, Doja Cat, Black Eyed Peas, and DaBaby. Maluma and CNCO rocked Brooklyn in a drive-in concert to promote social distancing and the new way to watch concerts. Similar to taking a photo for Instagram, the VMA performances were all about angles, angles, angles.

Virtual fans were spread around Keke Palmer, who hosted the award show. Palmer showed her enthusiasm and brought the energy to music lovers everywhere.
