Last night the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards brought the house down in New York at the legendary Radio City Music Hall, and there were a few surprises along the way. Unlike other award shows with a designated host, the show relied on the talents of stars like Olivia Munn, Lenny Kravitz, Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, and Blake Lively.
Jennifer Lopez, Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes all performed, but we particularly liked the moment Nicki Minaj walked on stage. Sadly, there were tons of salutes and ‘shout outs’ to the late Aretha Franklin, but the night was definitely upbeat. Here are the night’s relevant winners.
