It was a night to remember
The MTV VMAs 2023 kicked off with a bang at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Hosted by Nicki Minaj, the annual awards ceremony had some phenomenal moments that we’re still thinking about. Notable as Hollywood’s and the music industry’s biggest night, the ceremony was not short of incredible musical acts. Artists such as Olivia Rodrigo, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Wayne, Fall Out Boy, Demi Lovato, Future, Shakira, and Stray Kids were among the list of talented stars that graced us with their rocking presence.
And, since it was an awards ceremony, let’s not forget that the VMAs 2023 made music history with all the nominations and awards. Taylor Swift had 8 nominations for the night, while Shakira was this year’s recipient of the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, becoming the first Latin American artist honoured.
