Last night played host to possibly the biggest anticipated night in music: The Video Music Awards which took place in Brooklyn, New York as massive stars from around the world turned out for the event. With Lady Gaga opening the show and performances from Robin Thicke, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and N'Sync made a comeback. For those of you who didn't watch the show, here are some of the best bits.
Lady Gaga is well and truly back
I am a massive Gaga fan so I have been looking forward to this performance for a while, and it didn't disappoint! She began her performance showing off her stunning voice, and pulling some pretty powerful faces while manoeuvring what looked like a priest's cassock and a giant square on her head- classic Gaga.
With five costume changes in total and three different wigs, she isn't anything to sniff at as she belted her heart out while delivering some stellar choreography.
Definitely my favourite performance of the night. There is only a handful of people who can pull off covering their precious parts with shells.
She also apparently took a shine to One Direction's Zayn Malik. I can't see the two hanging out in the future though, can you?
Miley Cyrus as laughable
In general, I don't think I have laughed as much during a VMA performance. Three words: Gyrating, thrusting and twerking.
As the Cyrus entered the stage last night, all traces of Hannah Montana were vanquished as she attempted to sing We Can't Stop before stripping down into nude underwear and grinding on Robin Thicke during a duet to Blurred Lines. Take a look if you don't believe me... Is it just me, or did Mr Thicke look like a pervy Beetlejuice?
Taylor Swift's bitchiness.
I think the fascination with the relationship country-come-pop singer Taylor Swift had with One Direction member Harry Styles will always be a hot topic, but last night the young lady really voiced her opinion on what she thought of him and the 1D lads- yay!
She received the award for Best Female Video and when she collected her moonman, she said
"I also want to thank the person who inspired this song because he knows exactly who he is, because now I've got one of these" Back-handed compliment or what? meoww.
She was also caught mouthing 'shut the f*** up' while the One Direction boys were up on stage, what a legend. It's kind of what we were all thinking.
JT doing a Destiny's Child and Stealing the Show from N'Sync
Justin Timberlake, you thoroughly spoilt us last night. Beginning his performance with Sexy Back, then dipping into Like I Love You.
So much classic dancing before dipping into My Love. The fact that the whole audience were on their feet showed how amazing the performance was- I was blown away.
The Grillz were out in full force.
Katy Perry and Rihanna donned their tooth bling last night and looked fabulously fierce. Both looked a thousand times better than Madonna who stepped out last week looking positively vile in her tooth jewellery.
Above: Rihanna sports the subtle grill.
Katy Perry= brace face.
Audience cam was at it's best
I do love to watch celebrities in their natural habitat, and there is definitely nothing I enjoy more than seeing those famous faces interact with each other. Last night saw Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez dancing to Miley Cyrus, Ellie Goulding and Ed Sheeran cuddling up together and the Smith family's reaction to Cyrus' stripping, eeep!
Hand on leg: Got something to tell us Ed?!
Harry Styles has a perve on his ex, Taylor Swift- cheeky.
Katy Perry Roars onto the stage
LOVED her performance as a pretty dapper looking boxer. Still prefer Gaga though.
