The show shined a light on NYC, and the entire nation, whose unparalleled spirit and response to the pandemic inspired us all.
What does an awards show during a pandemic look like? The 2020 MTV VMAs answered that question tonight, and it was wild.

The Weeknd kicked off the show with an electric performance of "Blinding Lights" on top of the Edge at Hudson Yards. The Weeknd took home awards for “Best R&B Video” and “Video of the Year”.
The 2020 VMAs created innovative partnership and engagement opportunities all while bringing the music!
We need to come together…and music has that power, music can help us heal. It’s all love. And that’s what’s important. We are making the impossible possible pushing the boundaries of music performances because that’s what we do on the VMAs.
