2022 MTV VMAs: All of the night's best performances, winners list

The 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, held Sunday night at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, was a star-studded event.

The event was hosted by LL Cool J, Nicki Minaj and Jack Harlow and kicked off with the "First Class" rapper bringing out Fergie to perform the hit song with him.

Next up was Lizzo, who performed her records "About Damn Time" and "2 Be Loved."

Others to take the stage included Khalid, Eminem and Snoop Dogg. One of the most elaborate performances came from Minaj, who took home one of the night's highest honor as the recipient of the MTV Video Vanguard Award.

Minaj accepted the award after treating fans to a greatest hits medley which included "All Things Go," "Roman's Revenge," "Monster," "Beez in the Trap," "Chun-Li," "Moment 4 Life," "Super Bass," "Anaconda," and "Super Freaky Girl."

During her acceptance speech, Minaj thanked everyone who had a role in her career and urged people to take care of their mental health.

"I wish Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson were here," she shared. "I wish people understood what they meant and were going through. I wish people took mental health seriously."

Minaj wasn't the only one to take a moment to speak up about important issues. While accepting the Video for Good award, Lizzo stressed the importance of voting.

"I don't know what 'music video for good' means, but I do know what your vote means, and that's a f****** lot. Your vote means everything to me," she said. "[Your vote] means everything to make a change in this country. So, remember when you're voting for your favorite artists, vote to change some of these laws that are oppressing us."

Taylor Swift's 10-minute short film "All Too Well (Taylor's Version)" won the Best Longform category.

Taking the stage with her cinematographer and producer, she thanked fans for "this beautiful indication that we did something right," and also thanked stars Sadie Sink and Dylan O'Brien.

"All Too Well" also took home two other notable awards, Video of the Year and Best Direction.
