It may be the Video Music Awards, but the real talking points of the VMAs are always the outlandish performances.
Without the live aspect of the show, we would never have had Kanye's infamous outburst, Miley Cyrus's twerking and numerous other outlandish musical statements that have gone down in VMA history.
Below you'll find the performances from last night's ceremony, including rapper Logic (whose performance was hailed by many as outstanding for its mental health message), Fifth Harmony, Ed Sheeran with Lil Uzi Vert, a flu-stricken Lorde, Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj and more.
