The much anticipated MTV Music Video Awards held Sunday night and the biggest names in the music industries were present. Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Beyonce and Britney Spears all performed at the VMAs with Rihanna performing 4 times. That of course led a lot of fans to ask if the awards was a little short on performers.

 

Here’s the list of winners from the awards – Not surprisingly, Beyonce won almost every category she was nominated for and left with 7 awards while Adele on the other hand left with zero.
