The MTV VMAs always bring along at least halfway decent live performances. This year, we get Nicki Minaj, Pharrell, A$AP Rocky, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and more. Check below for the performances as they happen throughout the night:
Nicki Minaj opened the show with a mashup of “Trini Dem Girls” and “The Night Is Still Young.” Taylor Swift came out to squash her beef with Nicki and ironically played “Bad Blood”:
