It's that time of year again, where all the who's-who's of the music world come together to celebrate each other.. but mostly themselves.
So we've got all the details of what went down at the Barclay's Centre in Brooklyn, New York.
Starting with these bombshells rocking the red carpet!
Justin Bieber and Aussie The Kid Laroi opened the show with an electrifying performance of "Stay" while Bieber continued on, performing his single "Ghost" from his latest album, Justice.
But let this not distract you from the fact that the night was all about our girl Olivia Rodrigo who not only put on a stellar performance but also took home two awards at her first VMAs.
The Good 4 u singer smashed the stage (and the camera) and nabbed three of the top awards, including the highly sought after Song of the Year with "Drivers License", and Best New Artist.
