Lady Gaga Honored as Best Female Artist at the VMAs
MTV Video Music Awards Celebrate Music with a Focus on Artists and Achievements
The MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) returned for another year, this time hosted by rapper LL Cool J on Sunday night. The event, which honours achievements in music videos, was held near New York on Long Island.
The ceremony was a celebration of music, with performances by Alex Warren and Tate McRae, Post Malone and Jelly Roll (who performed remotely from Hannover), and Lady Gaga. Gaga, who was named "Artist of the Year," also took home four awards, making her the night's biggest winner.
Gaga dedicated her awards to her partner Michael Polansky and the audience, expressing her gratitude for their support. She was also the most nominated artist of the night, with a total of twelve nominations.
Other big winners included Ariana Grande and Sabrina Carpenter, who each took home three awards. Last year, Taylor Swift was the big winner, taking home seven awards.
In addition to the performances and awards, the VMAs also honoured Busta Rhymes, Ricky Martin, and Mariah Carey with lifetime achievement awards.
The VMAs have been a staple in the music industry since 1984, with the events typically hosted in cities like New York or Los Angeles. However, it is worth noting that the VMAs have never been held in Austria, as there is no record of the award ceremony taking place there.
Fans can vote online for their favourites at the MTV Video Music Awards, with voting being done by fans. The VMAs are organised by MTV, a music channel.
After the VMAs, Lady Gaga headed to Madison Square Garden in Manhattan to give a concert as part of her "The Mayhem Ball" tour. The VMAs were a night to remember, with music taking centre stage and artists being celebrated for their achievements.
