Perhelatan musik MTV Video Music Award 2025 selesai digelar. Berlangsung pada 7 September 2025 (waktu New York), di UBS Arena, Elmont, New York. Sejak pertama kali digelar, ajang ini memang dikenal sebagai panggung musik yang tidak hanya merayakan karya-karya terbaik, tetapi juga kerap menghadirkan momen ikonis yang sulit dilupakan. Tahun ini, panggung MTV VMA dibuka oleh Lady Gaga. Peraih penghargaan Artist of The Year MTV VMA 2025 itu menyanyikan Abracadabra dan Death Dance dengan penampilan teatrikal yang dramatis. Penyanyi pendatang baru yang kini tengah mendominasi lini masa TikTok, Sombr, juga tampil percaya diri lewat Back to Friends dan 12 to 12. Lalu ada Tate McRae yang mengajak penonton berdansa energik di bawah alunan Revolving Door dan Sports Car.
Namun, sebagaimana setiap edisi MTV VMA, gemerlap penampilan hanyalah satu sisi dari cerita. Esensi perhelatan ini tetap berada pada momen penganugerahan, ketika para musisi yang telah menggetarkan dunia lewat karya-karyanya akhirnya membawa pulang piala kemenangan. Puncaknya, Mariah Carey membawa pulang trofi VMA pertamanya. MTV mengapresiasi kontribusi sang diva di panggung musik dunia dengan penghargaan Vanguard Award.
