Alex Warren Serenades the 2025 MTV VMAs With ‘Eternity’ & ‘Ordinary’

Alex Warren captivated the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards audience with mesmerizing performances of “Eternity” and his chart-topping hit “Ordinary” on Sunday (Sept. 7).

Warren had already claimed the best new Artist award earlier in the evening and celebrated the milestone by delivering a Sunday Service-inspired performance of his blockbuster singles. Supported by a gospel choir and energetic dancers, Warren concluded with an electrifying rendition of “Ordinary,” which claimed the top spot on Billboard‘s Song of the Summer chart. The song dominated the Billboard Hot 100 for 10 weeks, becoming the singer-songwriter’s first No. 1 hit. Warren released his debut album, You’ll Be Alright, Kid, back in July.

Amid all this success, Warren looked genuinely stunned when he took home the Moon Person for best new artist, and even incorporated humor about pooping into his acceptance speech.

“I truly did not … thank you so much. What the …?” he remarked during his speech. “I was totally ready for sombr to win. I don’t even know what to say to you right now. I pooped twice today; I might go for a third. I’m about to cry. I don’t know; this is amazing. Thank you so much!”

The 2025 MTV Video Music Awards were held in front of a live audience at New York’s UBS Arena, and broadcasted on CBS and MTV, and livestreamed on Paramount+. LL Cool J hosted the star-studded event, featuring performances from Doja Cat, Tate McRae, Busta Rhymes and more.
