Rapper Kendrick Lamar has taken six prizes at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles.
He won best video of the year for Humble, as well as best hip-hop artist, after opening the awards ceremony with a live performance.
Ed Sheeran – who won artist of the year – was live on stage with rapper Lil Uzi Vert, but Taylor Swift was a no-show.
Fans had to be content with the premiere of her new video Look What You Made Me Do.
The video shows the 27-year-old singer emerging from a tomb and declaring her old selves dead.
Within an hour, nearly 500,000 people had watched the video on YouTube.
Swift won one VMA award – for best collaboration for I Don’t Wanna Live Forever, with Zayn Malik.
The show was hosted by Katy Perry, who wrapped up the evening by performing her single Swish Swish with Nicki Minaj.
