Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s performance Monday at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards was, in a word, steamy.
The singers performed their romantic hit, “Señorita,” and came this close to kissing onstage. They didn’t. Because they keep those moments private. Er, paparazzi ready.
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.”
