Il est indéniable que Taylor Swift a dominé les VMAs 2023 en termes de récompenses. Elle a obtenu un énorme soutien pour la réunion des NSYNC, a reçu sept récompenses et a même eu une caméra MTV concentrée uniquement sur elle et ses compagnons de siège, notamment Ice Spice et Sabrina Carpenter.
Cependant, les VMA les plus étoilés depuis des années ont offert bien d’autres plaisirs visuels et auditifs. Après les prestations de Lil Wayne et Olivia Rodrigo, Cardi B et Megan Thee Stallion ont interprété leur tout nouveau titre “Bongos”. Le prix de la meilleure nouvelle artiste a été décerné à Ice Spice. Karol G s’est produit avec une troupe de danseurs masculins vêtus de rose et coiffés d’une perruque, une performance visuellement stupéfiante, et a mené la charge pour la musique latine en remportant le prix de la meilleure collaboration avec Shakira ; Anitta a remporté le prix de la meilleure musique latine.
Une personne dans les coulisses qui a vu la rencontre a déclaré qu’elle était en fait très affectueuse, mais les caméras de MTV dans les coulisses ont filmé ce qui semblait être une dispute entre Justin Timberlake et Megan Thee Stallion.
Maneskin a fait du rock, Fall Out Boy a joué ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’ au milieu de tonnes de feu, et la célébration du 50e anniversaire du hip-hop a conclu la soirée alors que le spectacle entrait dans sa quatrième heure.
