Данное событие заслуживает внимания как минимум по двум причинам — список победителей позволяет оценить текущие музыкальные тренды, а формат проведения мероприятия — предсказать, как именно в ближайшем будущем будут выглядеть массовые мероприятия.
Обычно MTV Video Music Awards (MTV VMA) проходит на спортивной арене Барклайс-Центр в Нью-Йорке при огромном стечении публики, однако по понятным причинам организаторы не могли повторить подобное в этом году. С другой стороны, зрителей не хотели лишать живых выступления любимых исполнителей, поэтому придумали компромиссный вариант. Певцы и певицы спели вживую, но в различных залах и локациях, в масках и без зрителей. Судя по опубликованным видео, получилось достаточно неплохо (не в последнюю очередь благодаря закадровым овациям).
