Tonight’s the night! Though the show will look incredibly different this year, fans of the MTV Video Music Awards were thrilled to tune on Sunday Aug. 30th for the annual show, airing live on MTV and all their sister networks.

The 2020 VMAs was hosted by Keke Palmer, who led the telecast from the show’s home in New York City, the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn. The show went on with incredible performances from Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, BTS, Miley Cyrus, Doja Cat, J Balvin and CNCO. Now that’s a lineup!

While most of the show happened virtually, and the ‘red carpet’ looked incredibly sparase, there were still tons of memorable moments to enjoy from your favorite stars. Relive every performance, big win, and surprising moment from the big show here in photos, from start to finish.
