Young Hov’s wife Beyoncé Knowles-Carter received ample attention from the rap heavyweight and their daughter Blue Ivy Carter during her televised set.

Seemingly trying to quell persistent divorce rumors, Beyoncé’s set was peppered with shots of Jay Z on the projection screen, including the happy family frolicking on the beach as the clearly emotional singer crooned “Blue,” an ode to her daughter. Her mogul hubby introduced her as the “greatest living entertainer” and she called him her “beloved” — a far cry from tabloid tales of strife and separate rooms. The camera consistently panned to her husband Jay Z and two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy throughout the performance. (Washington Post)

Minaj raised temperatures during her set with eye-catching hand gestures.

The former “American Idol” judge’s performance included crotch-grabbing and butt-shaking. But the coupe de grace may have been the sight of a female dancer mounting a prone Minaj. Even when Minaj switched to a more conservative black dress for her performance with Arania Grande and Jessie J on “Bang Bang,” she nearly had a major wardrobe malfunction. The rapper did manage to maintain her grip on the dress and avoid giving the national TV audience an even more explicit look at her assets. (NY Daily News)

Along with Queen Bey and Minaj, various notable musicians performed.

Taylor Swift, who is fully venturing out into the world of pop music, performed her new song “Shake It Off” for the first time live on TV during the telecast. Other performances came from Maroon 5, Sam Smith, Usher and Azalea, who performed her single “Black Widow” with Rita Ora. (CBS News)

Pop star Miley Cyrus received the night’s biggest honor for her “Wrecking Ball” music video.

The 21-year-old pop star sent a young, formerly homeless man to accept her Moonman statuette for Video of the Year — and the speaker stunned the star-studded audience with his impassioned plea. (NY Daily News)
