The MTV Video Music Awards made waves this year with a new location, a whole bunch of A-list celebrities, and some extra wild moments… including Sabrina Timmerman kissing a female alien at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.

Chappell Roan caused a stir on the red carpet, to put a photographer in focus …and literally set the stage on fire with a passionate performance of her hit, “Good Luck Babe.”

Eminem millennials nostalgic … his performance of “Houdini” saw him surrounded by look-alikes, a throwback to the VMAs of 24 years ago. He also performed his collab “Somebody Save Me” with Jelly Roll guest appearances on the big screen.

On that topic, LL Cool J was joined by Public Enemy’s Taste Taste And Claw D. to perform their old-school hits “Mama Said Knock You Out” and “Bring the Noise.”

Sabrina gave an otherworldly performance with a medley of the chart-topping hits “Please, Please, Please,” “Taste” and “Espresso.” Then she blew a blue female Martian a kiss … leading to a number of jokes about “transgender surgeries on illegal immigrants” inspired by this week’s presidential debate.

Katy Perry She was a huge success, singing some of her biggest hits, including “Dark Horse”, “ET”, “Teenage Dream”, “I Kissed a Girl”, “Firework” and “Lifetimes”. Orlando Bloei presented her with this year’s Video Vanguard Award — by giving her fiancé a big kiss after her performance. And Bye joined KP on stage for the live debut of their collaboration “I’m His, He’s Mine”.

Karol G She also shone on stage with her new single “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido”, which got the audience going — Taylor Swift And Camila Cabello stood up and danced with her.

Tay Tay went into the night with the most nominations, taking home 7 awards… Her boyfriend Travis Kelce wasn’t present at the show, but she did give him a big shout out in her Video of the Year acceptance speech. And Flav gave a custom made gift to co-presenter, Olympian Jordanian Chiles.
