Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s performance Monday at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards was, in a word, steamy.

Lil Nas X‘s “Old Town Road” was crowned the Song of the Year at the 2019 VMAs. Onstage accepting his Moon Person alongside collaborator Billy Ray Cyrus, Lil Nas X made a point to highlight the momentousness of the situation. “This is my first award ever.”
