And for a shot of cool, the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) kicked off the week. Rappers Kendrick Lamar, Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow led the list of nominees with 7 nods each, and the latter 2 cleaned up yesterday, winning 3 Moonman statues for their collaborative hit Industry Baby. Harlow also won Song of the Summer for First Class, which he performed live with noughties icon Fergie. Squiz favourite Taylor Swift took home the night’s top Video of the Year honour for All Too Well – and announced a new album drop, because when you’re Taylor Swift that’s what you do. And Puerto Rico’s Bad Bunny became the first non-English language artist to win Artist of the Year. Meanwhile, actor Johnny Depp divided viewers in his first public appearance since his defamation case in May. Note: a music awards ceremony wouldn’t be complete without a red carpet gallery, so here ya go.
