VMAs 2025: Sabrina Carpenter, Ariana Grande And More Winners — Full List

The biggest night in music (videos) has arrived once again with Sunday's 2025 MTV Video Music Awards. So, which of the industry's buzziest names are walking away with Moon Persons this year? Let's get into it.

Heading into Sunday's ceremony, Lady Gaga led the pack with 12 total nominations, including Video, Artist and Song of the Year. Gaga collaborator Bruno Mars trailed closely behind with 11 nominations, followed by Kendrick Lamar with 10, Sabrina Carpenter with nine and Blackpink breakout Rosé with eight.

MTV also tapped several of those stars to take the stage for special VMA performances. Along with Carpenter and Gaga, this year's eclectic roster of performers includes Alex Warren, Busta Rhymes, Conan Gray, Doja Cat, J Balvin (with DJ Snake, Justin Quiles and Lenny Tavárez), Jelly Roll, Mariah Carey, Post Malone, Ricky Martin, Sombr and Tate McRae.

And what would a televised awards show be without a few A-list (or at least MTV-list) presenters? Among the big names handing out Moon Men at this year's VMAs are Ashlee Simpson Ross, Brittany Snow, Ciara, Drew Barrymore, Ice Spice, Jessica Simpson, Latto, Livvy Dunne, Malin Akerman, Megan Stalter, Nikki Glaser and Paris Hilton.

Hosted by LL Cool J, a two-time VMA winner himself, this year's big show is being simulcast live on CBS, MTV and Paramount+ (with a premium subscription) from New York's UBS Arena.

Read on for a complete breakdown of this year's VMA nominees, with winners to be added as awards are presented throughout the pre-show and main ceremony. When you're finished, drop a comment with your thoughts. Were any of your favorite artists snubbed?
