  • Story Text: Music stars and their celebrity fans hit the red carpet ahead of the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday (September 12) in Brooklyn, New York.
    Last year, the VMAs were filmed without a live audience and with most of the performances recorded in advance because of health guidelines due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Lil Nas X turned heads in a long wig and purple ensemble.
    "I was like, let's mix masculine and feminine energy together and bomb. Here it is. Amazing. You love it? I love it too."
    UFC fighter Conor Mcgregor accessorized with a cane after suffering a leg injury in July during his last fight.
    "You know, I don't even need this. I'm back on my feet; everything's going good," he said.
    "I've got to take it easy, though. I can feel like I'm ready to go, but - I feel like I can kick right now, to be honest. So, I know, I know. I just take it day by day."
    Veteran rocker David Lee Roth said the festivities are bigger and better than when he attended in the 1980s.
    "This is a crowd that's not afraid to go like this (raising arms) right away, you follow? This is a very physical, noisy, colorful, crashing - I don't know what you would call this; it's a pow-wow."
    This year's ceremony took place at the Barclays Center.
