Here Are All The Performances From The 2016 VMAs

Every year, the MTV Video Music Awards never fail to be a spectacle, partly because of the night's surprising, outrageous, and sometimes catastrophic performances. This year is hopefully no exception, as Rihanna is accepting the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award, Beyoncé will be performing, and Kanye West is getting full reign on stage for 4 minutes. Check in as we're live-updating the night's events.
