Lady Gaga cleaned house at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards, while The Weeknd took home the top prize — and both pop stars sent important messages to viewers about the current state of the world: “Wear a mask” and “Justice for Jacob Blake and Breonna Taylor.”

Gaga won multiple honours Sunday, most of them for her No. 1 hit with Ariana Grande, “Rain on Me, ” which the pop stars performed live for the first time.
