The MTV Video Music Awards has returned to New York with major wins for pop stars old and new.

There was drama before the ceremony when Irish MMA fighter Conor McGregor and rapper Machine Gun Kelly were involved in an altercation on the red carpet.

Olivia Rodrigo then won best new artist and best song for Drivers License, while Justin Bieber won best artist.

The main award, video of the year, went to Lil Nas X for his single Montero (Call Me by Your Name).

Hosted by rapper Doja Cat, the ceremony marked the 40th anniversary of MTV's launch in America.
