See our list of MTV VMAs 2012 winners as well as recaps of the night’s performances, including One Direction, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Pink, Green Day and more from the Kevin Hart-hosted show!

Always causing a buzz with its many surprises (Beyonce’s baby bump, Kanye’s mic steal and the Madonna/Britney Spears/Christina Aguilera kiss, anyone?), this year’s MTV VMAs kicked off with Rihanna performing “Cockiness” (with A$AP Rocky) as well as “We Found Love.” Pink had millennials feeling nostalgic when she led into “Blow Me (One Last Kiss) with her 2001 hit “Get The Party Started.” Frank Ocean then brought the fire in his performance of “Thinking Bout You” before Two Chainz and Lil Wayne took the stage, followed by Green Day “Let Yourself Go” and Alicia Keys’ debut performance of “Girl on Fire” (with a quick verse from Nicki Minaj and some flips from Olympian Gabby Douglas). Taylor Swift closed out the night with her breakup anthem, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.”

As for the awards, One Direction stole the show with three wins and their first VMA performance – a rendition of “One Thing” with shrieking in the background. Justin Bieber left empty-handed, however.
