Under natten gick VMA’s av stapeln och den stora vinnaren blev Taylor Swift. Sångerskan tog hem hela nio av elva möjliga statyetter, däribland de tunga kategorierna Video of the Year, Artist of the Year, Song of the Year och Album of the Year.
Och det var verkligen kvinnornas kväll, även om Cherrie – som stod nominerad tillsammans med Alicia Keys i kategorin Video For Good – tyvärr inte vann. Ice Spice utsågs till Best New Artist, SZA tog hem Best R&B och Latto vann pris för Song of the Summer med Jung Kook-samarbetet “Seven”. Årets bästa hiphop gavs dessutom till Nicki Minaj för singeln “Super Freaky Girl”. Noterbart är att Beyoncé inte vann ett enda pris för sin hyllade skiva och turné “RENAISSANCE”. Som tidigare rapporterat tilldelades Diddy en Global Icon Award på galan.
