Για ακόμη μια χρονιά έλαβαν χώρα τα MTV VMAs, η τελετή των οποίων πραγματοποιήθηκε στο Barclays Center στο Brooklyn της Νέας Υόρκης. Στο ρόλο της παρουσιάστριας της λαμπερής τελετής βρέθηκε η Doja Cat, η οποία ερμήνευσε και επιτυχίες της όπως τα “Be Like This” και “You Right”, ενώ επέστρεψε στο σπίτι της με το βραβείο Καλύτερης Μουσικής Συνεργασίας για το single της με τον SZA, “Kiss Me More”.
Τη φετινή χρονιά τα βραβεία επέστρεψαν στην συνηθισμένη τους live κάλυψη, καθώς το 2020 είχαν μαγνητοσκοπηθεί σε εξωτερικούς χώρους αποκλειστικά λόγω της πανδημίας.
Στην τελετή απονομής εμφανίστηκαν ζωντανά καλλιτέχνες όπως οι Twenty One Pilots, Kacey Musgraves, Camila Cabello, Ed Sheeran και άλλοι.
Τις περισσότερες υποψηφιότητες συγκέντρωσε ο Justin Bieber, ο οποίος είδε το όνομά του σε 9 κατηγορίες βραβείων φέτος, για να κερδίσει τελικά αυτά του Best Pop για το κομμάτι του, “Peaches”, αλλά και Artist of the Year.
