“First of all I’d like to thank my beautiful daughter and my incredible husband for all of their support,” said Beyonce, who walked the carpet with daughter Blue Ivy and the mothers of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Eric Garner — who all appeared in “Lemonade” movie.

Thereafter, she sang live, danced heavily and worked the crowd as she ran through “Pray You Catch Me,” “Holy Up,” “Sorry,” “Don’t Hurt Yourself” and “Formation,” in an epic 16-minute concert on Sunday that had the audience at Madison Square Garden in awe.



Other winners included Calvin Harris, Fifth Harmony and Drake.

David Bowie meanwhile was posthumously rewarded, the late singer’s album Blackstar won the Best Art Direction accolade.

Rihanna was honoured on the night with the, Michael Jackson Vanguard Award, which recognizes an artist’s entire catalogue of work.

But the biggest moment for Rihanna came when Drake – in a tuxedo – presented the award to his former girlfriend.

Drake told the crowd, “She’s someone I’ve been in love with since I was 22 years old. She’s one of my best friends in the world. All of my adult life I’ve looked up to her, even though she’s younger than me.”
