After all, Mother Monster is coming off one of the biggest years of her career. And she was nominated for 12 awards, more than any other artist this year. Sure enough, Gaga dominated the night, with four awards, more than any other artist.
It was also no surprise that LL Cool J was a smooth and effective host. The hip-hop legend is an old pro at this sort of thing, having cohosted the VMAs in 2021 and having hosted the Grammys five times.
Several of the awards had been announced in the run-up to the show, namely the Video Vanguard Award to Mariah Carey, the Latin Icon Award to Ricky Martin, and the Rock the Bells Visionary Award to Busta Rhymes.
