The 2025 VMAs did not disappoint—and of course we’re breaking it all down on Educate Your Earbuds. From jaw-dropping performances to brand new categories shaking up the show, this year’s awards had plenty of moments worth talking about. I’m giving you the inside scoop on the biggest winners (and nominees 👀), plus my unfiltered thoughts on who deserved that Moon Person and who got totally snubbed. And because the VMAs love to keep things chaotic, we’re also diving into the off-air categories that didn’t make the televised broadcast but are just as juicy. 

If you live for pop culture, music news, and a little bit of VMA drama, this episode is basically your afterparty.
