The most talked about awards right now, the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards were very inclusive in terms of various performances from everyone’s favourite artists.
The legendary rapper Lil Wayne, was the first to take to the stage and while the show’s host herself, Nicki Minaj was previewing an unnamed Pink Friday 2 track and performing “Last Time I Saw You,” other artists were also setting the stage on fire, such as Olivia Rodrigo who performed her “Vampire/Get Him Back!” medley, and Doja Cat who performed her spooky “Attention/Paint the Town Red” trifecta.
The fun night was a whole mixture of country, hip-hop, pop, Latin and rock, including Shakira‘s hip-shaking medley of hits before she accepted her landmark Video Vanguard Award and a strong showing from K-Pop acts Stray Kids (“S-Class”) and Tomorrow X Together with Anitta (“Back For More”).
Representing the Regional Mexican music with an arresting run through his track “Lady Gaga,” was Peso Pluma, while NLE Choppa roped in Nelly for a medley of his “Ain’t Gonna Answer” and Demi Lovato showcased her new Revamped album, with rocked-up versions of her singles, “Heart Attack,” “Sorry Not Worry” and “Cool For Summer”. Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion performed their new NSFW single “Bongos” live for the first time.
