Cher told the audience she had been raising eyebrows when Lady Gaga "was still Baby Gaga"
Lady Gaga dominated the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles taking home eight prizes including video of the year.
The singer, 24, who won most of her "moon man" trophies for Bad Romance, cried as she picked up the top award from Cher at the end of the night.
"I was so nervous tonight that I'd let my fans down," she said.
Meanwhile, country star Taylor Swift sang a song about Kanye West. who invaded the stage at last year's awards and sabotaged her acceptance speech.
After being presented with her final award, Lady Gaga, wearing an outfit which appeared to be made of meat, revealed that her new album would be called Born This Way before singing part of its title song.
"Tonight, little monsters, we're the cool kids at the party," she told fans.
Her awards haul puts her level with A-ha, who won eight awards in 1986, as the recipient of the second-most MTV prizes in one night.
In 1987, Peter Gabriel won 10 trophies - including nine for his ground-breaking animated video to Sledgehammer.
Rapper Eminem, who opened the evening's proceedings with performances of hits Not Afraid and Love the Way You Lie - featuring Rihanna - picked up best hip-hop video and best male video for the former.
