Alex Warren Makes TMI Confession After MTV VMAs 2025 Win

Alex Warren’s initial reaction to his Best New Artist win was out of the ordinary.

Following his victory over The Marías, Lola Young, Gigi Perez, Emma Langley, and Sombrero in the race for the MTV Video Music Award, the “Carry You Home” singer openly admitted something very personal.

In this moment, I find myself at a loss for words, Nessa,” said Alex during the MTV broadcast, moments after receiving the Moon Person. “I’ve had quite an unusual day, with two trips to the bathroom already and another potential one on the horizon. I feel my emotions welling up within me.

Although the victory brought about more than just a flutter of excitement, the 24-year-old expressed, “This is fantastic! Many thanks to you!

Alex, whose summer anthem “Ordinary” ruled the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a staggering 14 weeks, probably didn’t assume his song’s popularity would grant him special privileges. Not long before the MTV VMAs, he even produced a video featuring the viral “fish girl” sound effect, where a woman urged voters to cast their ballots with the phrase, “I know I’m going out, just vote.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but be ecstatic about Alex’s triple VMA nominations! Yet, amidst all this excitement, there’s a touch of humility in her words, “Even though I’m up for three VMAs, I’m cool with the pop girls taking it home.

As a lifestyle expert, let me rephrase that sentence for you:

Just like me, Rosé was equally taken aback when she won Song of the Year alongside Bruno Mars for their hit single “APT.” It wasn’t something we anticipated, but it certainly was a delightful surprise!

16-year-old me and anyone else who’s ever hoped for equal recognition for their efforts found this moment truly significant, as expressed by the Blackpink member while accepting her Moon Person award. Just as my therapist always advises, I’d like to express gratitude towards myself for persevering even through the hardest challenges.

Even though Bruno Mars wasn’t physically present at the event, Rosé made sure to give him a heartfelt shoutout during the ceremony for his hit song “That’s What I Like.

Bruno, I’m absolutely thrilled! I never thought this would happen. I’ll be reaching out to you later, but I just wanted to express my deepest gratitude right away – thank you for having faith in me!
