In 2010, Lady Gaga swept the MTV Video Music Awards. 10 years later? It’s no different.
With the release of her new album Chromatica earlier this year, Gaga was up for nine nominations on Sunday night. She managed to get five of those as well as the new, coveted MTV Tricon award. ‘Rain On Me,’ her collaboration with Ariana Grande, earned her the awards for Song of the Year, Best Collaboration, and Best Cinematography. She also won Artist of the Year.
