VMA 2017 Winners List

One of the most anticipated music awards event is the MTV Video Music Awards and this year's night was extra special because prior to the awards night, a lot of things have happened in the  music industry. Between Taylor Swift's social media blackout several days before and the release of the official music video of her latest single "Look What You Made Me Do" to Katy Perry's hosting the event, everyone was anxious. While everyone was sort of anticipating juicier and meatier happenings, the night went on smoothly and everyone was happy, but the happiest man at the MTV Video Music Awards 2017 was Kendric Lamar with six awards he was able to take home.
