The much-anticipated MTV Video Music Awards aired last night, and the show was worth the wait. From Beyoncé to Miley to Nicki, all of the stars came out for an evening of music, fashion, and fun. In case you missed it … here are the top moments of the VMAs.
Ariana Grande is on fire this year! She went from performing at the pre-show last year to opening the show this year with her new song, “Break Free.” She was later joined by Nicki Minaj and Jessie J, to perform “Bang, Bang.”
Just when we all thought Nicki Minaj‘s “Anaconda” music video was a showstopper, the rapper showed her impressive moves and body on stage — live. Let’s just say she received many interesting stares …
Common led a thoughtful moment of silence for Michael Brown and Ferguson, MO. Unfortunately, Kim Kardashian and Kylie and Kendall Jenner couldn’t grasp the seriousness of the moment and spent the time texting.
Miley Cyrus wins Video of the Year and uses her acceptance speech as a platform for raising awareness on homelessness, by inviting a formerly homeless teen to speak out to the youth.
Ariana Grande and Big Sean showed their first public PDA-moment, holding hands backstage.
Beyoncé! Of course, Bey stole the show with a 15-song mini-concert at the very end. But little Blue Ivy may have been the most talked about toddler last night. She was caught singing and dancing to her mommy’s songs — and then even congratulated her on stage! So, so adorbs! Oh- and the Carter’s made a very public PDA moment, in an attempt to shut down divorce rumors. Good for them!
