Tα βραβεία MTV Video Music Awards 2019 φιλοξενήθηκαν στο Prudential Center στο Νιου Τζέρσεϊ και πολλά μεγάλα ονόματα της μουσικής και της βιομηχανίας του θεάματος περπάτησαν στο κόκκινο χαλί ή βρέθηκαν στη σκηνή.
Τα βραβεία MTV απονεμήθηκαν το βράδυ της Δευτέρας στην Αμερική και νικήτρια της βραδιάς ήταν η Taylor Swift. Η νεαρή τραγουδίστρια αποθεώθηκε από το κοινό και δεν έχασε την ευκαρία να επιτεθεί και πάλι στον πρόεδρο των ΗΠΑ Donald Trump, αυτή τη φορά για τα δικαιώματα των ομοφυλοφίλων.
Η Lizzo, η Camila Cabello, η Missy Elliott και η Τaylor Swift ερμήνευσαν ζωντανά επιτυχίες τους ενώ μοντέλα, ηθοποιοί, celebrities και πολλοί τραγουδιστές – υποψήφιοι και μη για βραβείο – βρέθηκαν στις θέσεις των καλεσμένων.
Η Cardi B κέρδισε το βραβείο Best Hip Hop και η Taylor Swift το μεγάλο βραβείο του Video of the Year.
