The winners of this year's MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) are here.
The coveted music awards are happening today (13 September) at Newark's Prudential Center and are honouring some of the best names in music, from pop icons like Taylor Swift and K-pop stars like TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT). The winners list continues to grow as the night carries on, seeing first time winners and VMA veterans alike walk away with Moon Man in hand.
BTS' Jungkook bagged his first VMA win for Song of the Summer with 'SEVEN', while fellow BIGHIT MUSIC act TXT walked away with the PUSH Performance of the Year award for their viral hit 'Sugar Rush Ride'. Stray Kids also walked away with their first VMA award for Best K-pop.
BLACKPINK continue their reign as one of the biggest girl groups in music today as they win Group of the Year.
