BEYONCÉ’s groundbreaking visual album
“Lemonade” won eight Moonmen, including “Video of the
Year” for “Formation,” at the 2016 MTV Video Music
Awards, which aired live today from New York’s famed
Madison Square Garden. The global megastar surprised the
audience with a jaw-dropping “Lemonade” medley that
recreated the stunning imagery of the visual album. Michael
Jackson Video Vanguard Award-winner Rihanna dazzled with a
career-spanning four-act performance – including an
electrifying opening dance medley and a trio of stirring
ballads to close – before accepting the VMAs highest honor
with a heartfelt tribute by Drake.
Britney Spears made a triumphant return to the VMA stage with a soaring performance of her G-Eazy collaboration “Make Me…” Kanye West made a special appearance to deliver a meditation on fame before introducing the steamy and surreal video for “Fade,” starring actress and GOOD Music recording artist Teyana Taylor and her fiancée, the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Iman Shumpert. Future tore through a blistering performance of his 2015 hit “F**k Up Some Commas,” after being introduced by legendary Olympian Michael Phelps, who revealed he’d been listening to Future in the meme-launching photo of him in Rio.
