A number of celebs won big at the 2023 VMAs and we’ve got the complete list of winners.
Last night, MTV gathered music’s biggest stars for a night of moon-man honors and amazing performances. From the red carpet to the main show, a time was had during the drama-free night. Nicki Minaj served as the host and blessed her Barbz by performing multiple times. Taylor Swift dominated the awards so much with her eight wins that the awards could have been named after her.
