Lady Gaga And The Weeknd Win Big At VMAS This Year!

MTV VMAs are known as the most controversial awards ceremony across the globe. And keeping up with the reputation, it didn’t stop itself from continuing the show despite the pandemic in 2020.


The nominees were quite predictable this year as Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande were nominated in every other category. This is terribly annoying for people who actually love music – the shade is not directed towards Ms. Gaga.


All the biggest names in music and big categories like the Artist of the year, the song of the year, the collaboration of the year went to Lady Gaga and we’re not complaining. If we tried, Monsters will attack us and we’re not interested in drama.


K-pop fans didn’t feel left out as their favorite boy band BTS won in a couple of categories too! Machine Gun Kelly won an award too! Was it his first-ever? Doja Cat, however, did win the best new artist which was well deserved.


Taylor Swift won an award for the best direction for The Man – and honestly, the video is iconic! She recorded her acceptance speech from home and followed protocols because she’s a responsible human being for God’s sake.


And finally, our favorite wonder boy The Weeknd won a VMA for his classic Blinding Lights. He also performed and opened up the show for us!


The complete list of winners, as well as their performances, are here for you in case you missed the show.
