Date
night! Music’s biggest couples kept the VMAs party going into the wee hours.
Beyoncé and Jay Z, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, Alicia Keys and Swizz
Beatz, and Puff Daddy and Cassie all hung out together following the MTV
spectacle at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday, taking
#squadgoals to a whole new level.
“Family
Zone,” Swizz captioned an all-smiles group shot on Instagram, adding a
string of crown emojis.

The
superstars, along with hip-hop mogul Steve Stoute and wife Lauren Branche,
appeared to be having a ball during their post-show celebration – and for good
reason.
This
year’s awards were a landmark event for Queen Bey, who took home eight Moonmen
— including Video of the Year for “Formation” – and also performed a
16-minute medley of her hit album “Lemonade.”

In
addition, Kanye unveiled the buzzy video for his new single “Fade,”
and Kim introduced Britney Spears’ first VMA performance in nearly a decade.
Alicia
sent social media into a frenzy with her makeup-free face on the red carpet,
but got attention during the show for her emotional performance of an original poem
commemorating the anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a
Dream” speech.
The
festivities weren’t just a group affair — the 35-year-old posed for a romantic
Instagram snap just with Swizz.
“Beautiful night,” Alicia captioned her photo.
