The 6 Best Moments From the 2026 VMAs

The 2026 MTV VMAs, hosted by Snoop Dogg at the Peacock Theater, featured Madonna's cameo-filled opening and Kacey Musgrave's tribute to Dolly Parton. While Taylor Swift appeared, the live telecast only presented six of twenty-three categories. Notably, BTS won three awards off-air, including Best K-Pop, which was excluded from the broadcast. The event mixed high-energy performances with bizarre speeches, leaving critics to rank the night's best and worst moments from the September 27 ceremony in Los Angeles.
