Grande won video of the year for Brighter Days Ahead, while Carpenter took home the awards for best pop artist, best album and best visual effects, saying she is grateful to make music that brings light in a world so ‘”full of criticism and negativity”.
Gaga won four trophies, including artist of the year, and thanked her fans, known as “little monsters”.
“Thanks for supporting the little monster in me”, Gaga said.
