Tuesday Tea: VMA 2025 - A Night of Big Wins for Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande & Sabrina Carpenter

Congratulations are in order for Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, and Sabrina Carpenter, who absolutely owned the stage at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards. Gaga walked away with four Moonmen, while Ariana and Sabrina both bagged three each, a truly powerful night for women in music.

Lady Gaga, of course, stole the spotlight by winning Artist of the Year, and honestly? It’s so well deserved. Gaga is one of the few artists who pour blood, sweat, and tears into her art, and she would defend it with her life. To see her acknowledged in such a big way is a huge deal for Little Monsters everywhere. This win also ties her with Taylor Swift for the most Artist of the Year wins at the VMAs, with two each. Gaga first won back in 2020, and now, five years later, she’s reclaiming her crown, while Miss Taylor bagged her two consecutively in 2023 and 2024.

Meanwhile, Ariana Grande made history with her first-ever Video of the Year win, a career-defining moment that fans have been rooting for. And then there’s Sabrina Carpenter, the rising superstar proved she’s not just a moment but a movement, taking home Best Album 2025.

What made this year’s VMAs extra special is how women dominated almost every major category. It’s inspiring to see female artists not only leading but redefining the music industry in real time.

Congratulations to all the winners! 2025 is truly the year of the woman in music.
