Lady Gaga won multiple awards at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night. Already a recipient of 18 VMAs going into the evening, Gaga added two additional Moon Person trophies to her collection on Sunday night, taking home the award for artist of the year and best collaboration for "Die With A Smile" with Bruno Mars.

In her artist of the year acceptance speech earlier in the evening, the 14-time Grammy winner reflected on the power of art to inspire and connect and thanked her fans and her partner, Michael Polansky. "Being an artist is a responsibility to make the audience smile, dance, cry, release at every turn," she said.
