Lady Gaga rocks at VMAs

The MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) were held on Sunday in front of a limited audience. Adhering to social distancing guidelines, the stages were set at different locations in New York City. Top winners at the event included Lady Gaga (Artist Of The Year), The Weeknd, Blinding Lights (Video Of The Year), Lady Gaga with Ariana Grande Rain On Me (Song Of The Year), Lady Gaga with Ariana Grande Rain On Me (Best Collaboration), BTS On (Best K-Pop), The Weeknd, Blinding Lights (Best R&B), Megan Thee Stallion Savage (Best Hip-Hop), Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber Stuck with U (Best Music Video From Home) and CNCO Unplugged At Home (Best Quarantine Performance), among others.

Lady Gaga became the first-ever recipient of the ‘Tricon Award’. She performed a medley of her songs from Chromatica, including Rain On Me, featuring Ariana Grande. The singer appeared in nine different outfits with customised face shields and masks.

MTV dedicated the awards show to Chadwick Boseman, calling the Black Panther star, whose death last week at age 43 shocked fans around the world, a ‘true hero’. Opening the annual ceremony dedicated to the best in pop music, host Keke Palmer called Boseman ‘an actor whose talent and passion was a true inspiration to all the fans he touched, and everyone he encountered.”

Another highlight of the event included a tribute to Jacob Blake and Breonna Taylor by The Weeknd. VMAs 2020 will be aired on Vh1 India on September 1 at 9am and September 5 at 8 pm. It can be streamed on Voot Select also.
