Justin Bieber delivered such a powerful performance of “Where Are U Now” and “What Do You Mean?” at the 2015 MTV VMAs that he cried once he was done. Right after he capped off his appearance with an aerial stunt, the singer reduced himself to tears in front of the audience.

While speculations on his emotional reaction are still circulating the web, TMZ reached out to their sources at the awards show to shed light on his breakdown. According to the website, Bieber was very nervous before the performance, because it was his first at the VMAs in five years.
