EW's editorial guidelines Updated on August 30, 2020 07:14PM EDT Photo: Kevin Winter/MTV VMAs 2020/Getty; MTV; Bryan Bedder/WireImage The 2020 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday looked a little different from previous years, given that it was one of the first live awards shows held since the coronavirus shutdown. Still, tonight featured buzzworthy performances, like Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's showstopping TV debut of their collaboration "Rain on Me." BTS, Miley Cyrus, the Black Eyed Peas, and more also took the stage, while A-listers like Drew Barrymore and Kelly Clarkson present. Keke Palmer hosted the ceremony, held outdoors in New York City. The Weeknd took home Video of the Year for "Blinding Lights," while Artist of the Year went to Gaga, who also won the VMA's inaugural Tricon Award. Gaga also nabbed Song of the Year with Grande for "Rain on Me." This year, the VMAs also added two categories to reflect the current state of music: Best Music Video From Home and Best Quarantine Performance, which went to Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber's "Stuck with U" and CNCO's "Unplugged at Home," respectively.
