While Beyoncé was the undoubted queen of the night at the MTV Video Music Awards, walking away with the most gongs, Drake and Rihanna earned the titles of "king and queen of hearts". In a speech that earned a collective "aah" from the audience and Twitter, Drake welcomed rumoured girlfriend Rihanna to the stage as "someone I've been in love with since I was 22 years old".The Canadian singer and rapper then presented Rihanna with the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award.The pair, who first met 11 years ago, then shared a rather awkward onstage kiss, which was not included in the live broadcast.As the TV cameras panned away Drake went in for the kill, but his advances were thwarted when RiRi converted the kiss into an embrace.The Daily Mail reported that the two arrived at an after-party together and remained close all evening before returning to the same hotel.Rihanna was also among the night's performers and rather than deliver a marathon performance to rival Beyoncé's, she chose to give four separate performances.The Bajan singer opened the awards ceremony with a selection of her club hits, including Don't Stop the Music and Pon de Replay from her early days.While some may tut and say the 28-year-old has been awarded the lifetime achievement award prematurely, there's no denying that Rihanna has dominated the charts throughout her decade- long career.Beyoncé added seven awards to her already bulging collection, meaning she has now surpassed pop queen Madonna for most MTV VMA wins ever.She beat main rival Adele in every single category they were both nominated for.As well as cleaning out at the awards, Beyoncé offered up for the audience's delectation a 16-minute performance featuring hits from Lemonade.The segment packed a powerful punch quite literally when Beyoncé took a baseball bat to the camera, a nod to the scene-stealing moment in the feature-length video of Lemonade, which sees the star smash up a car. ..
