It was all about Lady Gaga and those teeth at the first YouTube Music Awards in New York.
Gaga rocked up wearing a set of bizarre grills and yet no trousers! Someone was in a rush
then.
The 27-year-old singer attended the award show to perform her brand new single Dope,
and it was an emotional performance to say the least with rumours recently surfacing
that she's split from boyfriend Taylor Kinney.
While Gaga typically stole the spotlight as always, it was a big night for Eminem who
won artist of the year!
Yeah, I just want to say really quickly. Thank you to all the fans, everybody who voted,
thanks to YouTube, thanks to everybody for coming out man. I'm out.
Taylor Swift also took home a gong - she won the YouTube Phenomenon award for I Knew You
Were Trouble. However T wasn't there to accept the award as she was in the UK performing
on The X Factor.
British rapper M.I.A. who found her footing on YouTube earlier in her career - was also
at the event.
Me and YouTube have had like a love and hate relationship for a long time, so I'm here
to make up with them. Not make out with them, but make up with them.
And fix some of those relationships, and also it's just nice to be here kind of at the first
ever music awards, you know.
Nominees were chosen by taking into account the YouTube views, likes, comments and subscription
figures for different artists. The ceremony was streamed live online on YouTube obviously!
