The 2014 MTV Video Music Awards - a show now 30 years running, having
outlived the music videos the network no longer even airs - were handed
out Sunday.
Irony aside, without the VMAs, celebrities wouldn't have a much-needed
summer excuse to bust out their zaniest getups, pull crazy $h!t and
trend on social media.
Which is what it's all about, right? And let's be honest, if Miley
Cyrus Twerking taught us anything, it's that arbitrary or not, videos or
no videos, the VMAs are an EVENT.
One with a boatload of awards to hand out, and Miley Cyrus took home
the Video of the Year Moonman for “Wrecking Ball,” her naked 2013
sensation.
Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran won Best Female and Best Male, respectively;
Ariana Grande won Best Pop for “Problem” and Lorde won Best Rock for
“Royals.”
