The MTV Video Music Awards highest honor goes to the “Video of the Year” winner … but, these stars lit up the stage live an in person at the show Sunday night.
Some of the biggest stars in the world … took the stage — and not always dressed in an elaborate costume. Take Tate McRae, who rocked the stage in just her underwear.
Sabrina Carpenter belted out her hit track “Tears” … and, then won Album of the Year for “Short n’ Sweet” — adding a second Moon Man to her collection, as she pointed out.

Mariah Carey played some of her hits before accepting a lifetime achievement award … though her choreography wasn’t perfect. We’re sure she’ll have it down before the Christmas season kicks off!
