JAKARTA - Berkat penampilan yang luar biasa, pilihan busana yang liar, dan momen-momen yang tak terduga, MTV Video Music Awards biasanya menjadi salah satu acara penghargaan yang paling ramai — dan kami membayangkan tahun ini tidak akan terkecuali.

LL Cool J kembali sebagai pembawa acara MTV VMA 2025, yang bertempat di UBS Arena di Elmont, NY. Acara ini akan disiarkan langsung dari pantai ke pantai mulai pukul 8 malam ET/5 sore ET malam ini di CBS, MTV, dan streaming di Paramount+.

Acara ini telah menampilkan penampilan dari Doja Cat dan Lola Young, serta penampilan dari Sabrina Carpenter, Lady Gaga, dan banyak lagi.

Selain itu, Steven Tyler dan Joe Perry dari Aerosmith, Yungblud, dan Nuno Bettencourt akan hadir bersama untuk memberikan penghormatan kepada mendiang Ozzy Osbourne.

Ricky Martin juga tampil, tepat sebelum ia menerima Latin Icon Award yang diberikan kepadanya oleh mantan rekan turnya Jessica Simpson.

Penghargaan Video Vanguard tahun ini akan diberikan kepada Mariah Carey, yang akan memainkan medley lagu-lagu hits untuk acara tersebut. Busta Rhymes juga akan dianugerahi Penghargaan Visioner Rock the Bells.

Jika berbicara soal piala Moon Person yang didambakan, Lady Gaga memimpin nominasi dengan 12 nominasi, dan dia telah membawa pulang satu di antaranya, memenangkan penghargaan yang didambakan untuk Artis Tahun Ini di puncak acara.

Lady Gaga juga dinominasikan untuk beberapa penghargaan atas lagu hitnya "Abracadabra," serta kolaborasi hebatnya dengan Bruno Mars, "Die With a Smile."

Bruno Mars membuntutinya dengan ketat dengan 11 nominasi, dan dia juga telah menang, menyambar trofi untuk Lagu Tahun Ini untuk kolaborasinya tahun 2024 dengan Rosé, "Apt."

Sementara itu, Kendrick Lamar mendapat 10 nominasi, banyak di antaranya untuk lagu diss-nya yang monumental "Not Like Us" dari tahun lalu.
