NEW YORK: Pop singer Lady Gaga was named artiste of the year at MTV&#8217;s Video Music Awards on Sunday, prevailing over heavyweights Taylor Swift and Beyonce at the fan-voted honours in New York.
Gaga, currently on tour with her album &#8220;Mayhem,&#8221; took the stage in a black ruffled dress with giant sleeves and purple accents. She thanked her fans as she held the VMAs Moon Person trophy.
&#8220;I cannot begin to tell you what this means to be rewarded for being an artist, being rewarded for something that is already so rewarding,&#8221; Gaga said before leaving the venue to perform a concert at Madison Square Garden.
Gaga&#8217;s win prevented Beyonce or Swift from emerging as the most-honoured artiste in VMA history. The pair remain tied at 30 VMAs each.
Host LL Cool J kicked off the ceremony at the UBS Arena in New York with a promise of show-stopping performances from legends such as Ricky Martin and Mariah Carey and a tribute to the late British rocker Ozzy Osbourne.
&#8220;Music is the force that brings us together,&#8221; host LL Cool J said. &#8220;Tonight we are leaving everything else at the door.&#8221;
Gaga went into the ceremony with the most nominations &#8211; 12 &#8211; for songs including &#8220;Die with a Smile&#8221;, her duet with Bruno Mars.
&#8220;Die with a Smile&#8221; was in the running for the night&#8217;s top honour, video of the year. Competitors included &#8220;Birds of a Feather&#8221; by Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar&#8217;s &#8220;Not Like Us&#8221; and Sabrina Carpenter&#8217;s &#8220;Manchild.&#8221;
The VMAs began airing on MTV PARA.O in 1984 and became known for memorable moments such as an onstage kiss between Madonna and Britney Spears and Gaga&#8217;s appearance in a raw meat dress. CBS aired Sunday&#8217;s ceremony live.
New categories were added this year for best country video and best pop artist.
The nominees for country video include &#8220;Think I&#8217;m in Love with You&#8221; by Chris Stapleton, &#8220;Liar&#8221; by Jelly Roll and Wallen&#8217;s &#8220;Smile&#8221;.
