It is without a doubt the year of the most beloved Lady of all time this 2020 so unique and unconventional. Lady Gagatriumphed (it’s not the only one of course) on the stage of the VMAs, MTV Video Music Awards, even during this edition which, as now customary wants, was held in accordance with the norms of social distancing. Dominating the event, Lady Gaga has won five awards, including Best Artist, Song of the Year, Best Collaboration, Best Cinematography and the New Tricon Award, a kind of Lifetime Achievement Award. Wrapped in the feathers of a custom made dream dress by Pier Paolo Piccioli and Valentino, Lady Gaga delighted the audience who followed her assiduously with a nine-minute super medley straight from the chore of the Big Apple.
It was not Germanotta, however, that won the award for Best Video of the year, despite the success of the duet with Ariana Grande of Rain On Me. The Weeknd won the top prize with Blinding Lights, sung by the Edge Hudson Yards Observation Deck, New York’s tallest outdoor sky deck, amidst fireworks and breathtaking views. More than the performance, however, was the speech given by Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, this is the real name of the artist, to move the audience, had at the withdrawal of the award that he wanted to dedicate to all the unjust deaths of black lives.
In addition to them, it was undoubtedly Miley Cyrus, who wanted to do a throwback in the days of Wrecking Ball performing, this time, sitting on a huge gleaming strobe singing her song Midnight Sky. The South Korean K-pop group BTS was also a great success, which, in the wake of the worldwide success of the last period, wanted to leave the VMA audience ecstatic by performing the song “On” that won the award for Best Pop of the competition. Among last night’s other best performances are undoubtedly that of sisters Chloe X Halle with Pretty Hurts, discovered by none other than Beyoncé, Machine Gun Kelly, Black Eyed Peas, Maluma, Doja Cat and Da Baby.
