As ever, the MTV Video Music Awards brought together some of the biggest names in music on Sunday evening.
Between A-list performers from the likes of Charli XCX, Raye and Lisa, nominees that included Taylor Swift, PinkPantheress and Sombr plus plenty more surprises over the course of the evening, the ceremony was a typically star-studded one – which means plenty of red carpet photos for us all to make our way through the next morning.
