Held at New York\u2019s UBS Arena on Sunday (Sept. 7), the VMAs \u2014 which were hosted by rap superstar LL Cool J \u2014 saw some of music\u2019s biggest stars descended on the arena for an evening of antics. Mariah Carey, who took home the Video Vanguard Award after a career-spanning mashup performance, remarked that this was somehow her first Moon Person in the ceremony\u2019s history. \u201cAnd I just have one question: What in the Sam Hill were you waiting for?\u201d she jokingly growled into the microphone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Across the other categories, Lady Gaga was the evening\u2019s most nominated artist, earning 12 nods for her work over the last year. After making a brief appearance at the top of the show to accept the artist of the year award, Gaga also gave fans a high-octane, pre-taped performance from The Mayhem Ball of \u201cAbracadbra,\u201d alongside the television debut of her newest song, \u201cThe Dead Dance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Carpenter \u2014 who was nominated for eight awards and took home album of the year \u2014 wowed audiences with her head-turning performance of \u201cTears.\u201d Using her platform to advocate for queer and trans rights, Sabrina was joined on stage by former stars of RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race, including season 17 contestant Lexi Love, while other dancers held up signs urging the audience at home to \u201cProtect Trans Rights.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
