With the MTV VMAs come a variety of awkward and memorable moments, some questionable fashion choices and malfunctions, not to mention performances from big names.

First thing's first, Mrs Missy Elliott had the best performance of the night with a medley of her hits, including a rake of incredible dancers and costume changes. We were absolutely FLOORED;

The legend of hip-hop picked up her Michael Jackson Vanguard Award in style, belting out her latest banger Throw It Back, before adding in Pass That Dutch, Lose Control and Get Ur Freak On.

Oh and did we mention that she brought back Alyston Stoner to perform with her, 16 years after the original child star appeared in her music video;

 Her 2001 album Miss E was ground-breaking, and she was truly deserving of the gong which was handed to her by Cardi B; "I promised I wouldn't cry this time because I cry every awards!" she said."

Alyson has still got some serious moves, ain't nobody arguing about that.

Another star of the show was Lizzo, brandishing her bejewelled tequila bottle because she's 100 percent THAT b*tch;

Her performance of Good As Hell and Truth Hurts brought the house down, with a giant inflatable ass in the background and a self-love pep talk;

Joe Jonas' arm got some deserved attention;

Normani (of Fifth Harmony fame) slayed her set, performing Motivation and showing everyone that the moves from the incredible music video were REAL and her gymnastic abilities aren't to be doubted;

Miley Cyrus gave a hugely emotional black-and-white performance of Slide Away, changing the lyrics from "We've grown now" to "I've grown now"…shade at Liam Hemsworth?

She also debuted a brand new tattoo to mark their split;

Tana Mongeau tried to copy our homegirl Britney Spears by bringing a snake to the ceremony, and people…forgot…who the OG was?!?

Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes caused our heart rates to skyrocket with their sensuous performance of Seniorita, but Sophie Turner's reaction to their almost-kiss is all of us;

This powerful metaphor by Taylor Swift about the faux pas of rewearing outfits, or even wearing similar ones;

Taylor opened the show with a beautiful performance of You Need To Calm Down and Lover, later partying with Gigi and Bella Hadid and picking up the Best Video award for her LGBTQ+ colour palette video for You Need To Calm Down.

Ariana Grande….well, she WON;

Grande wasn't present at the awards ceremony, but picked up the most gongs on the night regardless. Deservedly so, 2019 has been Ari's year.

Okay this tweet made us emotional. All of the participants from Taylor's iconic LGBTQ music video received two Moonmen with their names on it, and she refused to perform without this request being granted. Hero.

Cardi B picked up the award for Best Hip-Hop, and her impassioned speech had us all laughing;

Queen Latifah randomly riding up to the ceremony on a motorcycle, wearing a bandana, was quite the moment;

Last but not least, here is the wholesome reaction of Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas when Taylor Swift won Best Video…They are just TOO PURE;

We're exhausted from the drama, the fashion, the dance moves, the POWER moments from the show. There didn't seem to be any celebrity beef for once, maybe it's the vegan lifestyle getting to everyone?

The only sad point was that Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes, after all of the build-up, actually didn't kiss. Throughout the whole ceremony, they didn't.

Outside of the ceremony, all we do is see them kiss but they can't give us PDA when we actually ask for it? Cruel.

After seeing British rock band Yonaka at Sea Sessions, we can't recommend them enough. With a badass lead singer and an album full of bangers, they're ones to watch.

Alt-rock band Inhaler are also on the rise, featuring Bono's son as the lead singer of the indie four-some.

Irish-English rapper Maverick Sabre also adds another level of Irish musicianship to the billing, what a talented man.

Born in Hackney, his family moved to Wexford when he was a youngster and grew up following singer-songwriter rappers like Plan B.

You haven't seen true thirst until you've witnessed the fan response to the new Shawn Mendes x Calvin Klein collaboration.

The Stitches singer has recently embarked on a world tour since releasing his new album, and is taking the globe by storm with endearing personality.

Those abdominal muscles are obviously having some kind of witchcraft effect on his followers, we think a few ambulances may need to be called after the #MyCalvins campaign dropped…

The video has been viewed over 400,000 times and his Instagram images have garnered over six million likes already. My God, the lad is popular enough with his shirt on, so this is just explosive.

The video shows lil baby Shawn talking about "his truth," which is the slogan for the campaign, alongside Billie Eilish clips. It's fairly cute, we have to say, and features Mendes maturely discussing his vulnerability as a young rising star:

 "I think the real strength is putting yourself out there, whether that's in your music or just in life in general. I'm vulnerable, and I think that's a good thing." Slay that toxic masculinity, young grasshopper. Fight the patriarchy.

We're highly entertained by the fan response on Twitter, so we've picked out our favourite comedic tweets for your viewing. We hope you laugh as much as we did…

1. Statue of SLAY-vid…

2. 'The Gays' are hyperventilating

3. While some fans claimed that their ovaries exploded, others just jumped straight to immaculate conception:

4. Even his fellow celebrities couldn't handle the heat;

5. The chap is trying to end our lives with nudity as his weapon:

6. "My heart has had enough"…some fans had to resort to blocking him:

7. The pain is too tangible for most followers:

8. ARREST THIS MAN:

9. Is there a doctor in the room?:

10. Give a girl some warning please? Rude?:

It's official: Shawn has no respect for his fans and simply wants them to die a death staring at him forever and ever Amen.

We're loving his interview for the campaign, though. He's grown up before our very eyes:

"No matter how much money you have, no matter how much anything you have you’ll never be able to form into something you’re not, so just be confident”.
