Beyonce dominates the MTV Video Music Awards 2016

Swift in 2009, floating a presidential run last year – the musician acknowledged that he may well lose the night’s Video of the Year award to Beyoncé. “Bro, I love all y’all”, Mr.

His late arrival to the glamorous event meant the presenter Diddy – who he famously feuded with in the past – kept the silver and gold statue until he turned up later to receive it.

Beyoncé dominated the MTV Video Music awards on Sunday, prowling the stage with a 15 minute medley from her powerful “Lemonade” album and taking home eight statuettes, including the top prize – video of the year.

The rapper, who has been romantically linked with Rihanna, raved about the hit-maker after arriving on stage in his tuxedo with the award in his hands.

One moment Taylor is doing some sort of 21st-century “Flashdance” homage, then she’s randomly in the shower with some other dude, and finally at the end, she turns into a cat and is sitting among a large flock of sheep.

Rihanna was another big victor at the VMAs, which she opened with the first of four performances during the NY show, singing hits “Only Girl” (In The World), “We Found Love”, and “Where Have You Been”. It’s hard to believe that 11 years later all three of us would come together for a visual for a song called ‘Work.’ Today, the world knows Little X as Director X.

In true Kanye fashion, the rapper ranted onstage, touching on subjects from music to his beef with Taylor Swift to violence in his hometown Chicago before he debuted his music video for “Fade”, which starred Teyana Taylor. I’m standing in front of my wife, Kim Kardashian West. You have affected so many of our lives in the best way possible.

Beyonce dedicated her award to “the people of New Orleans”.

Completing a star-studded night of music were performances from Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj and Britney Spears.

In one of several odes to the recent Olympic Games, Michael Phelps said he’s been inspired by hip-hop music before introducing Future, who Phelps said he listened to before swimming and making the grimace that went viral. Fifth Harmony was a double victor, taking home song of summer and best collaboration video.
