It was a star-studded night at the 2019 MTV VMA ceremony that was held at the Prudential Centre, in New Jersey, NY.

The world’s favourite musicians gathered at the theatre to celebrate the best in music, and the glamour, watching on from the southern tip of the globe, was blinding.

2019 MTV VMA: The night’s biggest highlights

Some of the biggest moments included a victory for the biggest breakout artist of 2019, Lil Nas X, and the 2019 MTV VMA Vanguard award handed to Missy Elliot, just days after she released her smashing album, Iconology.

Cardi B also got honoured for her work in the Money music video and whoever questioned Normani’s moves got handed a sick dunk by the singer at the 2019 MTV VMA, during her Motivation performance.

This is the complete list of 2019 MTV VMA winners on the night:
