Beyoncé Wins Big At The 2016 MTV VMAs, Rihanna Takes Home Video Vanguard Award, DNCE Wins Best New Artist

VMAs In NYC

The 2016 MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS were held last night (8/28) at MADISON SQUARE GARDEN in NEW YORK CITY.

RIHANNA kicked things off, and THE LOS ANGELES TIMES reports she, "turned the 2016 MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS into her own personal showcase. To accept the night’s biggest honor, the MICHAEL JACKSON VIDEO VANGUARD AWARD, the pop singer didn’t showcase her hits in a 15-minute retrospective the way previous winners JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE and BEYONCÉ have. Instead, RIHANNA appeared throughout the show, dedicated five-minute segments to the many different personas that define her chameleon approach to pop hitmaking."

Check her out here.

MTV Tweeted many pictures and short videos throughout the evening. See them here.
