The 40th MTV Video Music Awards were chock-full of performances and peppered with memories of the award show’s storied four-decade history.

Taylor Swift took home the biggest award of the night — video of the year — in addition to six others, tying her with Beyoncé for the most VMA wins ever. After tonight, Swift and Beyoncé have 30 Moon People each to their names.

Chappell Roan took home the first major award of her career for best new artist, beating out Gracie Abrams and Tyla after a show-stopping summer on the festival circuit.

Iconic moments from VMAs past also got their place to shine. Notably, host Megan Thee Stallion took the stage with a live snake roped around her body as an homage to Britney Spears’ 2001 “I’m a Slave 4 U” performance. A supercut of such moments also featured Miley Cyrus twerking onstage with Robin Thicke in 2013 and Madonna’s 1984 “Like A Virgin” performance, among many others.

Tonight’s show ushered in a new era of iconic moments, as well, from Sabrina Carpenter’s kissing an alien during a mashup of her newest singles to Benson Boone’s flips off his piano and Roan’s performance in front of a burning castle.
