Sono le 6 di mattina mentre vi scrivo e a New York, precisamente al Madison Square Garden, si sono appena conclusi gli MTV Video music awards 2016 che, come c’era da aspettarsi, hanno incoronato Beyoncé come la regina dei video musicali degli ultimi 12 mesi assegnandole un ragguardevole bottino di moonman (8, per la precisione). Subito dietro a lei le Fifth Harmony, che si sono portate a casa 2 premi (Best Collaboration e Best Song of the summer).

La serata è stata allietata dalle performance della stessa Beyoncé, della solita Britney Spears in spudorato playback, di Nick Jonas di Rihanna (che ha aperto lo spettacolo), di Future e di Ariana Grande con Nicki Minaj.

Qui sotto la lista dei vincitori degli MTV Video Music Awards 2016 al completo.
