And what a night it was. <em>Lil Nas X<\/em>, <em>Olivia Rodrigo<\/em>, <em>BTS<\/em> \u2013 the evening belonged to a new generation. And to the Foo Fighters.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Lil Nas X<\/em> took home Video of the Year and Best Choreography for \u201cMontero (Call Me By Your Name)&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><em>Olivia Rodrigo<\/em> claimed Push Performance of the Year and Best New Artist<\/li>\n<li><em>Foo Fighters<\/em> received the Global Icon Award \u2013 and delivered a 25-minute live performance<\/li>\n<li>Full audience returned to Barclays Center Brooklyn for the first time since 2019<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Lil Nas X: A Brooklyn Coronation<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp; If you\u2019ve heard almost no music in the past twelve months yet still know who <em>Lil Nas X<\/em> is, that says it all. \u201cMontero (Call Me By Your Name)&#8221; wasn\u2019t just a song \u2013 it was a cultural statement. The music video, in which Montero rides the devil, sparked more debate than some parliamentary sessions. At the VMAs he walked away with Video of the Year and Best Choreography. His performance was spectacular: floating platforms, acrobatic dancers, a white suit that turned black for the second act. Lil Nas X seized the evening\u2019s energy and played it to the last note.<\/p>\n<h2>Olivia Rodrigo: The Fastest Rise Since Billie Eilish<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp; At the start of 2021, <em>Olivia Rodrigo<\/em> was best known for her role in \u201cHigh School Musical: The Musical: The Series.&#8221; Then came \u201cdrivers license&#8221; \u2013 and suddenly an 18-year-old had one of the most-streamed songs of all time. Her debut album \u201cSOUR&#8221; dropped in May, debuting at No. 1 in 30 countries. At the VMAs Rodrigo won Push Performance of the Year and Best New Artist. Her live take on \u201cgood 4 u&#8221; \u2013 the punk counterpoint to \u201cdrivers license&#8221; \u2013 was loud, chaotic, perfect. The camera panned the crowd: everyone knew the words.<\/p>\n<h2>Foo Fighters: Global Icon Award and a Masterclass in Rock<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp; MTV doesn\u2019t hand out the Global Icon Award often. <em>Foo Fighters<\/em> earned it: 27 years of band history, 12 studio albums, more Grammys than most of their peers. <em>Dave Grohl<\/em> \u2013 once Nirvana\u2019s drummer, now frontman of one of the last true rock bands in the mainstream \u2013 looked genuinely moved. Their live set ran 25 minutes. They tore through \u201cAll My Life,&#8221; \u201cBest of You,&#8221; \u201cThe Sky Is a Neighborhood&#8221; and closed with \u201cEverlong&#8221; in an acoustic, hushed arrangement that even non-rock fans found thought-provoking.<\/p>\n<h2>The Chaos in Between: BTS, Machine Gun Kelly and Everyone Else<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp; <em>BTS<\/em> performed \u201cButter&#8221; in four different outfits and took Group of the Year. <em>Machine Gun Kelly<\/em> arrived with pink hair and spikes on his suit for a brief but explosive set. <em>Camila Cabello<\/em> unveiled the first single from her upcoming album. The show unfolded the way VMAs do: too long, too fast, too crowded. Yet that\u2019s precisely what makes it an event \u2013 a compressed year of pop culture distilled into three hours.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n[vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n<div style=\"margin-top:50px; padding:30px 25px 15px; background:rgba(255,255,255,0.045); border-radius:10px;\">\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Who won at the 2021 MTV VMAs?<\/h3>\n<p>The night\u2019s biggest winners were Lil Nas X (Video of the Year, Best Choreography), Olivia Rodrigo (Push Performance of the Year, Best New Artist) and BTS (Group of the Year).
