Kendrick Lamar was the big winner during the 2017 MTV Music Video Awards on Sunday, with Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran getting plenty of attention as well.

Lamar, who led the way with eight nominations, took home six trophies, including “Video of the Year.” Sheeran was honored as Best Artist.

Swift did not attend but turned heads with the release of the video for her latest single, “Look What You Made Me Do.” She also won Best Collaboration with Zayn for their song, “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker).”

Perry hosted the ceremony, and she appeared to bring attention to her apparent feud with Swift via a quip about Twitter drafts.

The statues at this year’s ceremony went by the new name “Moon Person,” rather than the previous gender-specific label of “Moon Man.”

The full list of nominations and winners is below.
