We may be in the midst of a serious global pandemic but that didn't stop the A-listers of the music scene to celebrate themselves and their art in the 2020 edition of the MTV VMAs.

With performances from Doja Cat, The Weeknd, BTS, DaBaby, and more, a bunch of today's shiniest stars came out victorious and delivered acceptance speeches to take our minds off of all the crazy things happening in our world. 

Lady Gaga was the big winner of the night, taking home a good chunk of the most important awards. She walked away with Artist of the Year, Song of the Year with "Rain On Me" with Ariana Grande, Best Collaboration for the same track, and more.

As for the all-important Video of the Year award, The Weeknd walked away with the Moonman for "Blinding Lights."
