The MTV VMAs 2025 was full of fire performances and big wins, from Mariah Carey taking home the Video Vanguard award to KATSEYE bringing “Gnarly” to the pre-show stage, to Alex Warren sharing how he prepared for his number to Tate McRae’s steamy performance, we’re taking you through everything you missed from the night!
LL Cool J: I think there’s so many different fans that are gonna be watching for so many different reasons. I just want all of those fans to get to see their favorites.
Tetris Kelly: The MTV VMAs just took over New York and from rehearsals to the carpet to Sunday night’s big show, performances and winners, we got all you missed in Billboard All Access.
Doja Cat shook the crowd with new music, as Tate McRae wowed with her usual mesmerizing choreo you. The show’s producer talked about the juggernaut of putting on this show.
Van Toffler: It’s really a crazy week leading up to the VMAs because kind of anything can go wrong from people missing their planes to now getting the COVID, technical problems, and it’s hundreds of people involved, so it gets messy and long and hairy, but it’s mostly fun because anything can happen in a live show.
[In 2013] Miley Cyrus’ big teddy bear couldn’t open up, so she couldn’t come out of the teddy bear. We couldn’t fit Bruno’s whole band on the stage, or get Justin pyro, so anything can happen. The most grueling is pretty much the Vanguard Award, because they are the longest and we use the entirety of the stage.
Tetris Kelly: Mariah Carey received the Vanguard Award and delighted the crowd with nothing but hits. Ariana Grande presented the icon. She also won for her music video, “Type Dangerous.”
Keep watching for more!
