Lots of talk about Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift in last year's awards during this year's 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, but happy to report Taylor made it through her performance with only applause interrupting her! Although Eminem and Lady Gaga were the moon men winners of the night and Justin Bieber won Best New Artist.

Eminem opened the show with "Not Afraid" before Rihanna joined him on the futuristic VMA stage to perform "Love the Way you Lie."

Justin Bieber made his VMA debut with an outdoor performance in front of hundreds of screaming girls. Kim Kardashian introduced the Bieb's performance by joking about her inappropriate crush on the young star. Usher took over the stage shortly after his buddy Bieber and of course put his dance moves to good use. Even the audience was dancing in their seats!

Florence and the Machine gave a beautiful and impressive vocal performance of "Dog Days are Over."

And Taylor's performance was just as memorable. Opening with a video recap of Kanye interrupting her acceptance speech last year, Taylor then dressed as a 1920's pin-up girl sang a new song from her Speak Now album.

Mary J. Blige and Swizz Beatz helped Drake give his first VMA performance of his song "Fancy."

B.o.B, Bruno Mars, Hayley Williams and Paramore for a long performance of favorite hits from this year.
