Rihanna had the most nominations going in to the event with five although she only won one award in the end, for video of the year.

“I love you guys! This is awesome,” said Rihanna, as she collected her trophy.

On her way from collecting the prize she was congratulated by her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, who previously pleaded guilty to assaulting the pop star before the Grammy Music Awards in 2009.

Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong also appeared at the ceremony, where he was mobbed after inviting fans to come up on stage.

Billie Joe Armstrong looked fully recovered after being taken to hospital earlier in the week.

Alicia Keys was joined on stage by Olympic gymnast Gabby Ross, who back-flipped while the singer performed her new single Girl On Fire.

Performers also took the opportunity to crowd surf, with Taylor Swift, Lil Wayne and host Kevin Hart all diving off the stage.
