Festival of Diversity – Style – Kommersant

The MTV Video Music Awards, the award ceremony for the best music videos of the year, have just ended. “Kommersant Style” finds out the details.

Conceived as an alternative to the Grammys, the first MTV Video Music Awards took place in 1984 and is remembered for the performance of Madonna, who performed her new composition “Like a Virgin” at its opening, which later became the number one hit in her career. This year, figurines in the form of figurines of astronauts were given to: Taylor Swift for the video clip “All Too Well”, Billy Eilish for the song “Happier Than Ever”, Puerto Rican rap artist Bad Banny as the best artist of the year, Dove Cameron – for the debut. Harry Styles won in the category “Pop Artist”, Nikki Minaj won the best hip-hop singer, and Lisa from Blackpink – as a representative of the Korean music genre in the K-Pop genre. Scene veterans Red Hot Chilli Peppers were awarded as the best rock artists and received the Global Icon Award.
