Premiie MTV Video Music Awards 2025 s-au desfasurat la UBS Arena din Long Island, New York. Lady Gaga a castigat patru trofee, Sabrina Carpenter a primit trei premii iar Ariana Grande a fost laureată la doua categorii.

Editia din 2025 a introdus doua premii noi pentru intreaga cariera. Ricky Martin a devenit primul Latin Icon si a celebrat patru decenii de cariera cu un medley exploziv din hiturile sale: „Livin’ la Vida Loca”, „Maria”, „The Cup of Life” si „Pégate”. „Tot ce am facut e pentru voi. Sunt dependent de aplauzele voastre, de aceea revin mereu pe scena”, a spus Martin.
