Lady Gaga's MTV VMAs Triumph and Upcoming UK Shows

Lady Gaga's latest performance at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) was a night to remember, as she claimed multiple awards and delivered an electrifying show.

The pop icon's gigs in London and Manchester sold out in seconds, demonstrating her enduring popularity. In New York, Gaga's performance was secretly recorded at Madison Square Garden, where she had previously given a live concert as part of her "Mayhem Ball" tour. This prerecorded segment was later broadcast at the VMAs.

Gaga won 4 out of 12 nominations at the event, moving her to the third most awarded artist in the ceremony's history with 22 gongs. She is now just behind Beyonce and Taylor Swift, who are tied on 30 awards each. During her acceptance speech, Gaga gave a shout-out to her fiance Michael Polansky.

The VMAs also marked a significant return for Mariah Carey, who picked up the Video Vanguard Award after a 20-year absence. Carey performed a medley of her hits, while Busta Rhymes and Ricky Martin also took to the stage to perform their biggest hits.

Ricky Martin, in a special moment, was awarded the first ever Latin Icon award. Meanwhile, Ariana Grande won Best Pop and Video of the Year awards.

Elsewhere, Yungblud expressed admiration for the Osbourne family and stated his aspiration to have a family like theirs. Tragically, Yungblud learned of Ozzy Osbourne's passing via a text from Ozzy's son, Jack Osbourne.

In other news, Gogglebox's Joe Baggs opted for a green juice instead of champagne, and Tate McRae wore a sheer white dress with a long train, resembling a wedding dress, at the VMAs.

Looking ahead, Lady Gaga is planning to come to the UK for four headline shows at London's O2 Arena. After her successful performances in London and Manchester, fans can expect another unforgettable night with the pop superstar.
