The 2020 MTV Video Music Awards may have been the annual awards show’s first virtual version, due to the coronavirus pandemic, but that doesn’t mean viewers weren’t treated to epic performances from today’s top artists.
This year’s performances were moved out of the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, to various outdoor areas around the Big Apple with few, and in some cases no, audiences.
Top acts including BTS, Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, and The Weeknd all performed during the regular show after Chloe x Halle and Machine Gun Kelly kicked off the pre-show.
Here’s a look at all of Sunday’s performances:
The Weeknd

Performing in his red blazer and black gloves, The Weeknd kicked off this year’s show belting out his pounding, retro-synth masterpiece “Blinding Lights” from the skydeck of Edge at Hudson Yards. This was The Weeknd’s first return to the VMAs since 2015, when he wowed with a performance of “Can’t Feel My Face.”
