Justin Bieber Wins Artist Of The Year And Immediately Thanks Travis Scott




Each person else is playing catch-up to Justin Bieber.


At the 2021 MTV VMAs, Bieber was crowned Artist of the Year, capping off an insurgent run that's noticed him releasing a new album, Justice, starring in Drake's "Popstar" video, and hitting No. 1 both with his infectious tune "Peaches" and his collab with The Kid Laroi, "Stay." And he was willing to meet the moment. Accepting his latest Moonperson trophy, he talked to that moment while also making sure to share it with those around him — namely his spouse, Hailey, and also a big inspiration: Travis Scott.


"I look over here and I visualize my pretty spouse, and I just wanna mention I love you so much," he mentioned sporting a huge jacket and hoodie. "Travis Scott, man, you inspire me so much. Thank you for being you."


(FYI: Travis won Best Hip-Hop shortly right after, so maybe he sent good luck!)


Bieber also made sure to take a moment to mirror on not just his moment, although the moment we're all in. "As we know, there's so much going on in the world as we speak," he mentioned, holding his Moonperson. "We're in unprecedented times right now."


Biebs used his platform throughout his own moment of optimism to point toward a hopeful future — and shout out music's role in that.


"Music is such an extraordinary possibility and a phenomenal outlet have the ability to reach people have the ability to bring us all with each other he continued. "That's why we're here now. We're all here with each other. We got a lot more in regular than we don't. I look around here and I visualize so several pretty faces. I really do believe the perfect is however to come."


Bieber beat out Ariana Grande, Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion, Olivia Rodrigo, and Taylor Swift in the category. He was the artist nominated for the most VMAs this year, with seven. And he helped kick off the show with a heavenly joint performance with The Kid Laroi.


And honestly? He's likely the only dude at the VMAs who could pull off this fit. He really did the damn thing.
