Camila Cabello scooped up the two biggest prizes at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) on Monday (20.08.18).

The 21-year-old singer was one of the big winners at the glitzy award ceremony at Radio City Music Hall in New York, as she managed to take home the coveted Video of the Year award for her hit single 'Havana', as well as being crowned Artist of the Year.

Speaking after her win for Video of the Year - which was handed to her by Madonna - Camila said: ''My hands are literally shaking. I am never going to forget this moment ever in my life. Madonna, I love you so so much, I've seen every single music video of yours, I've seen every single documentary of yours, you've inspired me so much. For that reason, this is a surreal moment and I love you, seriously. I can't believe it.

''Video of the Year, wow. Thank you so much all of my fans for voting. I want to thank Dave Myers for being an incredible director and collaborator, and for putting up with me blowing up his phone every time we make a music video.

''I wanna thank the amazing choreographers on this music video, I wanna thank all the amazing actors in the video, I wanna thank my family who inspired this music video, I wanna thank my fans again, and honestly I dedicate this to Madonna. Thank you!''

Elsewhere in the evening, Childish Gambino - which is the musical alter ego of actor Donald Glover - was another big winner with three wins for his single 'This Is America', including Video with a Message, Best Direction, and Best Choreography.

Cardi B - who made her first appearance since giving birth to her daughter Kulture last month - also took home multiple gongs, after being named Best New Artist, as well as her track 'I Like It' with Bad Bunny and J Balvin winning Song of Summer, and her collaborative effort 'Dinero' with Jennifer Lopez and DJ Khaled being awarded Best Collaboration.

Nicki Minaj's 'Chun Li' was given Best Hip Hop Video, whilst Ariana Grande won Best Pop Video for 'No Tears Left To Cry', and Imagine Dragons' track 'Whatever It Takes' picked up Best Rock Video.

Michael Jackson Vanguard Award </s> Olivia Munn used a head-in-hand emoji to express how she was feeling after her flub at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards on Monday night.

The 38-year-old actress joined Keegan-Michael Key onstage at Radio City Music Hall in New York City to present the award for Artist of the Year to Camila Cabello, but didn't quite pronounce her name right when reading off the envelope.

When one fan called her out on Twitter, Munn owned up to her mistake and explained that she did ask in advance how to pronounce the 21-year-old singer's name correctly.

"That was the debate backstage when I asked how to pronounce it and that’s what everyone told me," she tweeted after the awards show.

Flubs aside, Munn was thrilled to present Cabello with the moonman. "I saw her grab her mom’s hand right before I opened the envelope, it just melted my heart," she added. "I was so excited for her when I saw her name."

Munn wasn't the only one to have trouble with Cabello's name. Tiffany Haddish also botched the pop star's name while onstage with Kevin Hart. "Camila Cabellelo... Cabello... Camille Cabello. You know I can't read that good," she said when referencing the Cuban-American singer's five nominations. "I only speak English, and that's mostly in Ebonics. She's nominated for five VMAs tonight. I'm super proud of her!

Cabello didn't let a little mispronunciation ruin her big night! In addition to winning Artist of the Year, she also took home the coveted Video of the Year moonman for her “Havana" music video, featuring Young Thug, and was presented the award by Madonna.

After her big wins, the former Fifth Harmony member tweeted an inspiring message to her younger self. "YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS SMOL CAMILA BUT: IN 2018 MADONNA IS GOING TO GIVE YOU AN AWARD FOR VIDEO OF THE YEAR AND YOUR ACNE WILL CLEAR," she wrote.

Upon accepting the biggest award of the evening, Cabello dedicated it to Madonna.

"My hands are literally shaking. I'm never going to forget this moment. Madonna, I love you so, so much," she gushed, after hugging the 60-year-old singer. "I've seen every single music video of yours, I've seen every single documentary of yours, and you've inspired me so, so much."

6 Things You Didn’t See at the 2018 MTV VMAs

All the Shadiest Moments From the 2018 MTV VMAs -- Cardi B, Nicki Minaj and More </s> Taylor...Imma let you finish, but Camila Cabello is hands-down the newest dancing queen of awards shows.

The "Havana" singer got up out of her seat during Maluma's performance at the MTV Video Music Awards and showed off her dance skills. After just a moment of coaxing, Cabello's mom Sinuhe Cabello joined her daughter for a brief waltz. The Artist of the Year and her mom looked like they were having the absolute time of their lives in the front row.

This year was Cabello's time to shine, officially dethroning Taylor Swift as Master of the Front Row Dance. Swift has been known to show off her moves at various shows, including the 2013 VMAs and 2018 Billboard Music Awards. Lest we forget the 2014 Grammys when the "Delicate" singer shimmied to Beyoncé's performance of "Drunk in Love"?

Most of the time, she's sitting next to and rocking out with bestie Selena Gomez. </s> Jenny is bringing a "Moon Person" back to the block.

Jennifer Lopez won the biggest award of the night at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards, as her career was celebrated with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

Back in New York City at Radio City Music Hall, the icon was honored for two decades of stunning visuals, amazing performances, and just general J.Lo-ness.

It was a big night for the VMAs with secret performances, a Grande-sized empowerment, and Cardi B getting back to making "money moves". Here are the biggest moments from the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards.

In between interviews with Camila Cabello and Logic, Bazzi crooned on top of the marquee of Radio City Music Hall, solo singing “Mine”. Cardi B picked up her first award for “Song Of The Summer”, and Bryce Vine caught a vibe with “Drew Barrymore”.

The ghost of VMAs past were on the carpet too! No, not the reunited cast of The Hills, we're talking about the Backstreet Boys. The boys slayed in their return to the VMAs, twenty years after their first VMA performance and looking brand new.

"What's popping everybody. Welcome to New York" announced Cardi B as the show opened. "The Empress" arrived appearing to be breastfeeding her new baby, but it was a "Moon Person" wrapped in a blanket. Also, when Cardi calls herself "The Empress", as she did, is that a shot at Queen Nicki Minaj? Asking for a friend, a very worried friend.

Shawn Mendes was the first performer of the night in a sleeveless white shirt, rocking through "In My Blood" as Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande grooved along. Lightning flickered on the screen behind him, and then rain poured down on the stage, or water from the roof, or whatever - it's a wet Shawn Mendes.

Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish were not the hosts, but they should have been. The pair were the first presenters and roasted DJ Khaled, Fifth Harmony, President Trump, and anyone in the room with a face tattoo. We were off!

"WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS" read the shirt of all the children that Logic led onto the stage during his performance of "One Day" with Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic. They were then reunited with family members, holding candles as the artist wore a "**** THE WALL" shirt. Once again, Logic used his platform for an important message.

The Queen ruled from a throne away from the awards. She started with "Majesty", before launching into the audio assault that is "Barbie Dreams" before a packed room of worshipers. Nobody was safe in Nicki's savage season. She listed off MCs who couldn't measure up, she took a not-so-veiled shot at Travis Scott earlier in the evening, and she ended this mini-concert with the "Fefe" lyric, "I don't really want no friends." That's a motto fit for a Queen.

Jennifer Lopez showed why she's an icon with a medley of bangers, and enough dancing with shirtless backup dancers to make A-Rod blush. The girl hit em' all with help from DJ Khaled and Ja Rule! R-U-L-E! Lopez flew through the crowd, brought out the 6 train, and got the crowd so hyped that poor Shawn Mendes couldn't get anyone to pay attention as he gave her the award. "It has been an incredible journey of dreaming my wildest dreams, and then watching them come true" Lopez said between breaths while accepting the Video Vanguard Award. Through tears she said to the fans, "You guys have won me over forever."

You can watch her full performance here.

Ariana Grande hit a religious tone and an amazing high note during her Last Supper-like "God Is A Woman" performance. The empowering assembly of women on stage were joined by Grande's aunt, mom, and grandmother for a sweet ending to the otherwise sexy set. Grande's performance was fantastic, but her friendship with Nicki Minaj and her fiancé-ing with Pete Davidson won the night.

Kylie Jenner bopped along as Travis Scott presided over a mosh pit and a giant statue of his head. ASTROWORLD was live as the rapper turned Radio City Music Hall into an amusement park and shouted, "rest in peace the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin".

The Queen Of Pop For The Queen Of Soul

After a story about an early audition, Madonna paid tribute to Aretha Franklin. Her story of singing "Natural Woman" drenched in "nerve sweat" led to her journey as a singer. "None of this could have happened, without our lady of soul" she said. "I want to thank you Aretha, for empowering all of us. R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Long live the queen."

She then awarded the Video Of The Year award to Camila Cabello, who was a big winner throughout the evening, looking more and more like the Princess Of Pop with every award.

Post Malone, 21 Savage, and an electric guitar played rockstars, until Aerosmith showed up in real rockstar style - late and loud. The band put the guitar through the amp, lit the fires, and closed the VMAs with "Toys In The Attic".

Other Moments You Might Have Missed

Nicki Minaj went savage in her acceptance speech, Ariana Grande thanked Pete Davidson "for existing", and Cardi B had a message for the haters. "I had the baby, I carried the baby, and now I'm still winning awards" Cardi B smiled as she accepted her Best New Artist Award.

Thanks for a nice little night VMAs, we'll see you next year. </s> The popstar broke Whitney Houston's record for the number of wins by a female.

A triumphant Taylor Swift urged people to vote in November’s US midterm elections as she swept the board at the American Music Awards (AMAs).

The popstar – who on Sunday broke her long-held silence over political matters to announce she is voting for the Democrats – scooped tour, album, female and artist of the year.

The gongs brought her to a career total of 23 AMAs, meaning she overtook Whitney Houston for the most wins by a female artist at the fan-voted show.

Accepting the artist of the year prize on stage, Swift said: “I just want to say to the fans, you have been so nice to me and fun and funny and so cool and so loyal, and it’s not lost on me, I understand how lucky I am.”

She added that the awards represented “encouragement and motivation to be better and work harder”.

Referring to the fact the awards were “voted for by the people”, Swift said: “You know what else is voted on by the people?”, before telling fans to “get out and vote” at the midterm elections.

There was a political undercurrent to Tuesday’s show at Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theatre, and before Swift took to the stage, fans were urged to vote during an impassioned plea by American Horror Story star Billy Eichner.

He told the audience they should register to vote if they cared for “equality for women, for people of colour, for the LGBTQ community, if you believe that climate change is real”.

The speech was welcomed by loud applause while host for the evening, American comedian Tracee Ellis Ross, wore a T-shirt bearing the slogan “I am a voter”.

Elsewhere, Swift was not the only major celebrity to perform, with both Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez taking to the stage. They were joined by Post Malone, Camila Cabello and British star Dua Lipa.

Other winners on the night included Migos, Shawn Mendes, Cabello and Carrie Underwood.

Migos were acknowledged as the favourite duo in the pop/rock category, Mendes won the adult contemporary artist, Cabello’s Havana took pop/rock song and Underwood was recognised as the favourite country music female.

Cardi B won the favourite rap artist gong and thanked her three-month-old daughter, Kulture.

Late rapper, XXXTentacion, who was gunned down in June aged 20, won a posthumous award.

His album 17 was recognised in the soul/R&B category, seeing off competition from Khalid and SZA.

Fighting back tears, she said: “I am honoured. On behalf of my son, I would like to thank the AMAs, his fans and everyone who made this possible. Thanks guys, I appreciate it.”

There was also a tribute to the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin, who died in August. </s> Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Swift hinted she'd started work on her seventh album

Taylor Swift not only opened the American Music Awards with a fiery performance of I Did Something Bad, but she went on to dominate the show.

The star won four trophies, including artist of the year, making her the ceremony's most-decorated female ever.

She now holds 23 AMAs, beating a record previously held by Whitney Houston.

Swift, who recently broke years of political silence to declare support for two Democrats, again urged fans to take part in the US mid-term elections.

Accepting artist of the year, she said: "This award, and every single award given out tonight, were voted on by the people.

"And you know what else is voted on by the people? The midterm elections on November 6. Get out and vote. I love you guys."

Swift's touring partner Camila Cabello also won four awards at the ceremony; while British singers Ella Mai and Dua Lipa gave show-stopping performances.

Here are some of the best bits.

Cardi B performed I Like It... on a bicycle

Resembling nothing less than an explosion in a branch of Claire's Accessories; Cardi B's vibrant, multicoloured performance was stunning even before she wheeled Bad Bunny on stage in a shopping trolley.

She went on to flex her leg over her head and ride a bicycle across the stage (sadly not at the same time) - leaving SNL star Taran Killam somewhat lost for words.

They multiple award winners, but touring partners and BFFs Taylor Swift and Camila Cabello seemed to be more excited to spend a night in each other's company.

Who says women in music have to be at each other's throats all the time?

Meanwhile, Swift hinted she'd started work on the follow-up to Reputation.

"I always look at albums as chapters in my life," she said on stage.

"To the fans, I'm so happy that you like this one - but I have to be really honest with you about something: I'm even more excited about the next chapter."

Dua Lipa jumped off the stairs

Setting out her stall for next year's Grammy Awards, Dua Lipa performed two massive house hits - One Kiss and Electricity - while being doused in UV fluorescent paint by a troupe of dancers.

The stage recreated the warehouse setting of her Electricity video - itself a callback to Janet Jackson's Pleasure Principle - while Dua prompted gasps from the audience by falling backwards from a 10-foot-high metal staircase.

Luckily, there were some dancers ready to catch her.

XXXTentacion's mother accepted a posthumous award

Rapper XXXTentacion, who was shot dead in June, was a pothumous winner in the best soul and R&B album category.

His mother, Cleopatra Bernard, choked back tears as she accepted the award on his behalf.

"I'm so nervous, you guys," she admitted as she reached the stage.

"I am honoured to accept this award on behalf of my son. I would like to thank the AMAs, his fans, and to everyone who made this possible. Thank you guys so much, I appreciate it."

Ciara Levelled Up

The R&B star has scored a viral hit with her new single - and she effortlessly kept up with the song's frenetic pace with a pin-sharp, Rhythm-Nation-style performance.

Backed by an army of dancers, it gave the show's third hour a much-needed injection of energy; ramping up even further when Missy Elliot crashed the stage to deliver her verse from the song's remix.

Ciara then segued into another hit single, Dose, managing to incorporate a segment of BlocBoy JB's "shoot" dance as she was surrounded by a marching band.

"Now that's how you do it," said host Tracee Ellis Ross, as the singer received a standing ovation from Khalid, Camila Cabello, and Cardi B.

Twenty One Pilots got heavy

With their third album poised to enter the charts at number one this week, Twenty One Pilots didn't pull any punches with their performance of Jumpsuit.

Singer Tyler Joseph remained uncharacteristically still for the song's opening minute before throwing himself around the stage as the crunching bass riff kicked in.

By the climax, the stage was ablaze, with a car behind the band bursting into flames.

In a night crammed full of pop, it provided a rare opportunity for the moshpit to kick into action.

An Aretha Franklin tribute closed the show

Aretha Franklin was a regular guest at the AMAs, as a host, performer, and winner - so it seemed fitting that the ceremony would close with a tribute to the star.

Eschewing hits like Respect and Dr Feelgood, the performance focused on her gospel roots and her favourite hymns, including several from her best-selling 1972 live album, Amazing Grace.

Gladys Knight opened the segment with a heartfelt rendition of Amazing Grace, before being joined by Mary Mary, Ce Ce Winans, Ledisi and Donnie McClurkins for a medley that included How I Got Over, Mary Don't You Weep and Climb Higher Mountains," which was used as the recessional song at Franklin's funeral.

During the performance, the cameras panned around to the audience, where Franklin's granddaughter Victoria was watching in tears.
