The 2022 MTV VMAs took place at the Prudential Center in New Jersey, and awards were handed out in categories including video of the year, song of the year and best new artist.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, performers this year included Anitta, Bad Bunny, Blackpink, Eminem and Snoop Dogg, J Balvin, Jack Harlow, Kane Brown, Lizzo, Maneskin, Marshmello and Khalid, Nicki Minaj, Panic! at the Disco and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Minaj and Chili Peppers also took home the awards for best hip-hop and best rock, respectively -- along with a slew of other artists, including Kane Brown, who made history as the first male country artist to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards.
Nominees throughout the categories included Madonna, who is the most-awarded artist in VMAs history with 20 wins, Beyonce, Harry Styles, Bad Bunny and Adele among others.
Taylor Swift won the Video of the Year award and set two records with the win, becoming the only artist ever to win three VMAs for video of the year and the first artist to win for a video they directed.
In her speech at the 2022 VMAs, Swift revealed she is dropping her new album in October, with more details coming at midnight later that night, reported The Hollywood Reporter.
Lil Nas X and Harlow won the best collaboration for 'Industry Baby'. Harry Styles won album of the year for 'Harry's House' and Lisa beat out the likes of BTS to take home the VMA for best K-pop, though BTS was named group of the year. Here's the full list of 2022 MTV VMA winners.
