Music royalty came together for MTV’s Video Music Awards ceremony in New York.

The show, hosted by LL Cool J, was held at the UBS Arena.

Lady Gaga had the most nominations with 12 and took home the Moon Man statue for Artist of the Year, accepting the award from Lenny Kravitz, beating out other entertainers such as Bad Bunny, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar and Morgan Wallen.

Overall, she won three of the 12 categories she was nominated for.

She was also double-booked for Sunday night.

As soon as Lady Gaga won her first award for Artist of the Year at the VMAs, she raced across the Big Apple to perform at New York City’s Madison Square Garden as part of her “Mayhem” tour, People magazine reported.

She told the VMA audience, “I wish I could stay and watch all these amazing performances, but I have to go back to Madison Square Garden."

The VMAs also broadcast a prerecorded performance of Gaga’s ”Abracadabra" and “The Dead Dance.”

She wasn’t the only icon of the night to take home an award. Ricky Martin was given the Latin Icon Award while Mariah Carey was given the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, accepting it from Ariana Grande, ABC News reported. Busta Rhymes was awarded the Rock the Bells Visionary Award.

The show paid tribute to the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne, who died on July 22.

Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, YUNGBLUD and Nuno Bettencourt came together for a medley of Osbourne’s greatest hits. The set was introduced by Osbourne’s son Jack, and his children, E! News reported

“I wish we could be there with you all tonight as you celebrate my dad’s amazing musical journey,” Jack Osbourne said. “I know for sure it would make him incredibly happy to see these great musicians carry on his legacy and help inspire the next generation of rockers.”
