Star: Miley is known for making a big impact at the MTV Awards

Celebrity Miley Cyrus is notorious for leaving a lasting impression at the MTV Awards. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards were rescheduled and had to be reimagined entirely. The event was initially planned to take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, but with social distancing guidelines, organizers had to make adjustments. This year’s show was held at different locations throughout New York City, without a live audience. MTV’s goal was to honor the city’s strength, spirit, and resilience by holding performances across all five boroughs.

Streaming singing: Miley's performance was an early highlight from the show

Miley Cyrus gave an amazing performance during the show, making it one of the early highlights. Pop sensations Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande dominated this year’s nominations, receiving nine nods each, while Billie Eilish and The Weeknd were close behind with six each. All four artists are contenders for the top prize, Video of the Year, where Everything I Wanted by Eilish is up against other hits such as Rain on Me by Gaga and Grande, and Blinding Lights by The Weeknd. The nominees for Push Best New Artist were announced on July 23, and fan voting took place from July 30 to August 23. New categories have been added this year, including Song of Summer, Best Group, and Everyday Heroes: Frontline Medical Workers, which honors the performances of Covid-19 first responders. The Quarantine Performance and Best Music Video from Home categories were also added this year.

The Video Vanguard Award has been given to 34 different artists and was renamed after Michael Jackson won it in 1988 and again in 1991, when it officially became the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. MTV recently announced that next year’s VMAs in 2021 will take place at the Barclays Center.
