Maybe it was the Radio City Hall setting or the deluge of top-notch talent, but the MTV Video Music Awards 2018 really stepped up its performance game this year.

Music’s wildest night gave fans everything they could have wanted and more with some amazing and memorable performances. Kicking things off for the evening was Shawn Mendes’ show-stopping performance of his song, “In My Blood.”

As usual, Logic delivered a powerful performance with a message — this time, alongside Ryan Tedder. The duo sang their song “One Day,” as young children came out to be reunited with their families — addressing the current separation at the border.

All of these and more were among the MTV Video Music Awards 2018 highlights. Check out the performances below.
