Latto, Ava Max, & More Wore Bright Green at MTV VMAs 2022!

Michele Amabile Angermiller There was plenty of action on, around and above the MTV VMA stages at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on Sunday night: Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance and not only took home the prize for Video of the Year (for “All Too Well”), she also announced her forthcoming new album, “Midnights”; Nicki Minaj took home the Video Vanguard award and delivered a performance that ranged from pink pop to torture-porn; and Latin had a bigger look than ever before, with eye-popping performances from Bad Bunny, J Balvin and Anitta, the latter of whom became the first Brazilian artist to win Best Latin Artist for her song “Envolver.” Yet there was plenty of action off-camera as well. On the red carpet in the hours before the show, Jack Harlow arrived early, clad in a leather-ish dark grey suit (which would have been suffocatingly hot if the Tri-State area was in one of its crushing bouts of summer humidity; lucky for him it was a cool evening). Big cheers also erupted for BlackPink, who stopped for a few quick photos.

What a year it’s been for music!

Kane Brown delivered a historic moment at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, becoming the first male country artist to perform on the show since its 1984 inception. Prior to this Sunday's event, Kacey Musgraves and Taylor Swift had previously been the only country acts to score a performance placement on the high-profile MTV ceremony. Following a branded mixed-reality promo set to his 2020 hit, «Be Like That,» Brown performed his pop-inspired single, «Grand» in front of a live audience in nearby Fort Lee, New Jersey.

Worst dressed: Chloe Fineman, Tate McRae and Ava Max certainly made a style statement at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night - but for all the wrong reasonsShe paired the strange gown with silver nails, holographic sandals and her blonde hair in a messy bun as if she opted to hit the snooze button a few times before finally making her way to the ceremony. Her funky outfit, which is part of threeASFOUR's Cart Couture collection, featured interactive jelly bean-shaped clutches that held snack items (like chips, candy and dried fruit) for her to share with fellow attendees due to the VMAs' 'no outside food.' Almost immediately her odd look began spurring comparisons to Lizzie McGuire's igloo dress from Disney Channel Original Movie's 2003 film Lizzie McGuire Movie, starring Hilary Duff, and a duvet cover on Twitter.Meanwhile, McRae, the 19-year-old Canadian singer behind the chart-topping hits you broke me first and she's all i wanna be, bared way too much skin in her plunging aqua blue dress with a very daring slit.
