YOUR FAVOURITE MTV SHOWS ARE NOW AVAILABLE ON PARAMOUNT+

2019 VMAs: Complete Winners List

Watch all the 2019 VMA action tonight (Tuesday 27th August) at 9pm only on MTV UK...

Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish were the big winners at the 2019 VMAs last night (Monday 26th August) winning three awards each!

‘You Need To Calm Down’ earned Taylor the coveted Video Of The Year award as well as Video For Good.

The singer stood up for equality, opening the show with the LGBTQ+ anthem before reducing us to tears for her first ever performance of ‘Lover’.

Accepting Video Of The Year for the second time in her career, Taylor used her platform to call out The White House for not responding to her petition for the Equality Act, which has already had five times the amount of responses needed to receive a reply.

Ariana Grande was named Artist Of The Year and also won Song Of The Summer for ‘boyfriend’ and Best Art Direction for ‘7 rings’, but wasn’t present to accept her awards.

Another big winner, also currently away on tour, was the unstoppable Billie Eilish, who was crowned Best New Artist plus PUSH Artist Of The Year

The night was also host to some incredible performances.

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello turned up the heat for a blistering world-first performance of ‘Señorita’. In between cuddles, Shawmilla also collected the prizes for Best Collaboration and Best Cinematography.

Miley Cyrus gifted us with her first performance of break-up ballad ‘Slide Away’, while Normani made a fierce return to the VMA stage, this time as a solo artist, to recreate THAT ‘Motivation’ video, bagging the Best R&B award too during the night too.

Missy Elliott showed us why she was named this year’s Video Vanguard recipient, with a jaw-dropping, career-spanning medley of her incredible hits.

Elsewhere, Lizzo once again proved she was 100% that b*tch and Lil Nas X came through with the choreo before he won his first award ever for Song Of The Year, and the Jonas Brothers took home their very first Moonperson, winning Best Pop for ‘Sucker’.

VMA history was made when BTS won the first ever Best K-Pop award. They also won Best Group!
