Lady Gaga wins "Artist of the Year" at the MTV VMA 2025 Awards

The MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), one of the most prestigious awards in the field of video creation, took place this year with a star-studded ceremony. The event, broadcast by CBS, saw artists from various genres vying for top honours.

Bruno Mars was nominated in two categories, one for his collaborative effort with Lady Gaga and ROS on the video "Die with a Smile," and the other for his solo video "APT." Lady Gaga, who won the award for "Artist of the Year," also had a significant presence at the ceremony. She performed featuristically with songs "Abracadabra" and "Dead Dance."

The last track "Dead Dance" was recorded for the second season of "Wendee's." Interestingly, The Weeknd and Playboi Carti also submitted two videos for the competition.

In the main category, Ariana Grande received the MTV VMA award for the clip "Brighter Days Ahead." The artists competing in the same category included Sabrina Carpenters with her album "Manchild," Billie Eilish with "BIRDS OF A FEATHER," Kendrick Lamar with "GNX," The Weeknd and Playboi Carti with "Timeless," Bruno Mars with both "Die with a Smile" and "APT," and Morgan Wallen, Bad Bunny, and Lady Gaga with their respective albums "I'm the Problem," "DeB TiRAR M S FOToS," and "Mayhem."

The "Best Album" category was won by Sabrina Carpenters for her album "Short n' Sweet." The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar were also nominees in the same category with albums "Hurry Up Tomorrow" and "GNX" respectively.

Lady Gaga's fashion for the event was designed by Georgio Armani, who will bid farewell today at Saint Martin's Church. The designer who previously dressed Lady Gaga is likely Nicola Formichetti, although no direct confirmation was found in the provided search results.

The MTV VMA award statuette is traditionally a figurine of an astronaut in a spacesuit with the MTV logo flag. The MTV VMAs was established by the music channel MTV in 1984.

This year's MTV VMA Awards was a night to remember, filled with electrifying performances, heartfelt speeches, and the celebration of music and video creation.
