STORYLINE:
Pop culture and music collided Sunday night on the red carpet for MTV’s VMA’s. VMA used to stand for Video Music Awards, but now the show focuses on celebrating the artists who have cultural impact on the music industry and beyond.
FKA Twigs, Tyla, Jessica Simpson and Paris and Nicky Hilton arrived and posed in front of the moonman backdrop at New York’s UBS Arena.
The ceremony was hosted by rapper and actor L.L. Cool J. Lady Gaga lead the night with 12 nominations while Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar, Rose, Sabrina Carpenter and The Weeknd were among other top contenders.
Presenters for the show included Ciara, Ice Spice, Paris Hilton and Latto. First time nominees include Alex Warren, Blake Shelton, KATSEYE and Lainey Wilson, and two new categories—best Country and Best Pop Artist have been added this year.
Mariah Carey received the 2025 Video Vanguard Award, Busta Rhymes received the first ever MTV VMA Rock the Bells Visionary Award, and Ricky Martin was honored with the inaugural Latin Icon Award. Both Ryhmes and Martin also performed for the crowd.
Other performers included Conan Gray, Tate McRae, Doja Cat, Jelly Roll, Post Malone, Alex Warren, J Balvin, Sabrina Carpenter and sombr.
The 2025 MTV “VMAs” aired live Sunday on CBS, and was simulcast on MTV and streamed on Paramount+ in the U.S.
