The 2019 MTV VMAs [1] took place in Newark, NJ on Monday night, and what a show it was. Kicking off the evening with a crowd-pleasing performance by Taylor Swift [2], many other artists followed suit. A steamy performance by Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes [3], a motivational medley by Lizzo [4], and an emotionally raw song by Miley Cyrus [5] were just a few of many performances that caught the crowd's attention.
In addition to the entertainment [6], there were a handful of acceptance speeches that tugged at our emotions, like Missy Elliot's Video Vanguard Award [7], or Taylor Swift [8]'s LGBTQ acceptance speech for video of the year "You Need to Calm Down." Nevertheless, it was a busy night, so we've rounded up all of the hottest photos so you don't miss a thing! Read through to catch up.
