JLO: Jennifer Lopez was the recipient of this year’s Video Vanguard Award. She certainly brought the energy during her performance. JLO played all her greatest hits including, “On the Floor”, “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” and “Jenny From the Block.” EVERYONE LOVED THIS.

Shawn Mendes: Anyone who is a fan of Shawn Mendes dug his set! He played his single “In My Blood” and completed the performance with a wet T-shirt contest… Seriously. We are not complaining.

As most VMAs there are some rough moments as well, the most notable one from last night was Madonna’s “tribute” to Aretha Franklin… While also presenting the Video of the Year Award. Madonna actually just ended up rambling on about herself, and how she is a big pop icon… Watch the video below and you will get it.
People are upset about Madonna's Aretha Franklin tribute at the VMA's 'cos it was basically all about her and not Aretha. Whatchu think? Here's a snippet

Lastly we need to mention the salty comment Tiffany Haddish made about the split between Fifth Harmony and Camila Cabello… She dissed many celebs and then said “Camila Cabello is here nominated for 5 awards. So those of you watching at home, hi Fifth Harmony!”
THE SHAADE THO … she didn’t have to go there omg #VMAs pic.twitter.com/6snhq1qQpa

Nicki Minaj quickly fired back at Haddish and stood up for one of the other girls! Typical Nicki taking the time to put someone in their place. QUEEN.
