Sombr won one of the first VMAs of the night…before the show was even started.

The singer was presented with the best alternative statue for his song “Back to Friends” on the red carpet, and was quite confused, thinking it was a prank. But he quickly composed himself, thanking his family and fans for the award.

Minutes later, Tate McRae won the Moon Person for Song of the Summer for “Just Keep Watching.”
