6 great moments from the night of the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards
1. Eminem’s opening
The night began with the spectacular performance of Eminem, who opened the show to applause and doubles, becoming the male artist who has won the most awards alone (14) after winning the “Best Hip-Hop Video”.
2. Katy Perry and her gift to all millennials

All this before receiving the prestigious “Video Vanguard Award” for her musical career, which, to our surprise, was presented to her by her husband. Orlando Bloomstarring in the most romantic moment of the night by sharing a passionate kiss on stage.
3. The many tributes to Madonna
There were several artists who were inspired by Madonna for their looks during the night of the 2024 VMAs. First of all, we have Camila Cabellowho opted for a dress that combined transparencies and filigree in black (with a mantilla and a necklace ending in a cross included) similar to the one Madonna wears in the video for “Like a Prayer.”
In addition, Addison Rae She appeared clad in a white satin lingerie set with a bra that seemed to imitate the iconic Jean Paul Gaultier cone design that Madonna chose for her “Blond Ambition Tour.”
Finally, another of the great protagonists of the night, Sabrina Carpenterwent to the red carpet from the 2024 MTV VMAs by rescuing one of Madonna’s most iconic dresses. We are talking about none other than Bob Mackie’s creation that the queen of pop wore at the 1991 Oscars. Likewise, Sabrina recreated this moment, even sporting the same blonde hair that the singer wore 30 years ago.
But the singer of the moment did not stop there and, during the performance of her songs “Espresso” and “Please Please”, she also imitated the iconic kiss between Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, in this case, with an alien!
4. Y a Britney Spears
Although the artist did not attend the gala, like Madonna, she was present at several moments. For example, Megan Thee Stallion wore one of the looks Britney’s best-known outfit, which she wore to the 2001 MTV VMAs, recalling her iconic performance of “I’m a Slave 4 U” with a real snake.
In addition, Tate McRae She chose a Roberto Cavalli dress that was also reminiscent of another of the looks Spears wore on the red carpet in 2001.
5. Tyla’s speech
Praising her fellow performers Tems and Burna Boy, Tyla took to the stage at the 2024 MTV VMAs to collect the award for “Best Afrobeats.” However, the singer took the opportunity to emphasize the expansion of the awards African artists across all musical genres, offering constructive and respectful criticism of the awards organization. Bravo!
6. The most wanted: Chappell Roan
And the winner of the award for “Best New Artist” was… Chappell Roan! The Missourian, well deserving of the coveted award, also used the moment of collecting the award to dedicate it “to the queer and trans people who feed pop” and who she has so present in both her aesthetics and her values. Special mention should be made of the outfit she chose, a silver mesh dress with medieval touches that we couldn’t love more.
